Because you don't know any better. There are numerous errors in his doctrine. "God only has sons" for example. The scriptures speak extensively about the daughters of Zion.

KRS-ONE said it best in My Philosophy in 1988-"Rap is like a set-up...a lot of games, A lot of suckers with colorful names. 'I'm so-and-so,' 'I'm this, I'm that.' But they all just wick-wick-wack." This has held true 33 years later spanning into 3 generations and even more! The Hip-Hop I grew up with will never return, but the artists of that time dropped the seeds to learn from and survive this brutal thing we call life. I was fortunate to be a youth during the Golden Age of Hip Hop from the early 80s to the mid 90s. They left us life lessons and legacies to carry on and do the world good.

Yes HIP HOP truly taught, had our minds get bigger while our minds got stronger it's great to learn". I'm a Grandmother now I cry alot worried about my youth and the youth in general. 2023. KRS1 and his breakdown of sexism and the B word. It's hard for me to be amongst the youth long though because they refer to themselves and allow stringy haired nationalities too. To say the B and N word all day LONG. Gangsta rap infected our morals so D@nm much 2023.

He asks REALLY good questions most of the time, but his followups are usually non-existant or just lame. You are right....he is very very good....always has been....because of the very important questions he asks....never being afraid to cut right to the chase. But many many times he'll ask an important question and get an interesting answer and his followup is "yeah", followed by moving on to the next unrelated question. If he was even a decent followup question asker, he would be one of the true greats, imo.

KRS1 dropping knowledge as always such a brilliant Artist

This right here is why I love Hip-Hop. Hip-Hop has helped shape me into the man I am today because of KRS and many other rappers who dropped gems of knowledge, wisdom and Overstanding.

Human Education Against Lies!!!!! HEAL.... MY BROTHER'S AN SISTER'S

KRS1 is and always has been The TEACHER.

Arsenio had the best show. His interviews were real, and having everyone from Megadeth to KRS-One and being able to keep it all interesting was awesome.

KRS is spot on, today's generation have no game but more 100% soul sellers in today's generation.

The "Teacher" - one of the many aspects as far as diversity we are missing in Hip Hop music today. Between him, Public Enemy and the XClan we were educated to know more about knowledge of self.

The Blast Master, The Teacha, The GOAT 🐐

1992, the year KRS1 dropped "Sex & Violence." The teacher always dropping jewels. And everything said 29 years ago is STILL relevant today.....

Maaann KRS-ONE embodies this saying perfectly “WHEN YOU ENCOUNTER A MAN OF RARE INTELLECT ALWAYS ASK WHAT BOOKS HE’S READ”...wouldn’t you agree???

& HE THE TEACHER IS STILL THE ABSOLUTE MOST IMPORTANT RAPPER TODAY DATE!!![999]

His honest answer to who is the greatest rapper is definitely true......

Hence why Knowledge Reigns Supreme

🗣️🗣️🗣️ in 2022 the truth still rings! The Teacher #Salute ✊🏼

Krs1 Mr philosophy great teacher 👍 👏 we need more like him

A real gem !!

Great interview, couldn't help but laugh when they were telling Vermont what chronic was. I think Vermont was the second state to legalize recreational 'chronic' ....who would have guessed that back in the 90's

Got so much respect for KRS......he a beast!

The Goat has spoke!!

Human Education Against Lies. Thats Healing.

No, early 80s to mid 90s is considered the Golden Age of Hip Hop! After that, it all went downhill. This is hip Hop in its purest form, not rapping. Rakim and KRS-ONE are MCs, not rappers. There is a difference. Rigorous Research is necessary to understand this academic body of literature.
