only kids say KRS is overrated. it's hard to understand how someone was the man in thier day, if the person making that statement didn't live in that day. its like years from now, people will say jay-z and lil wayne were overrated, and you guys will argue with the kids who make those statements. its the same issue with the kid who just ran out and saw the new gi joe movie but can't understand the big deal about Casablanca or Gone with the Wind. its the same thing now with the younger cats who can't understand the big deal people make over Biggie or Pac. if you were around in thier hayday, then you lived the life and realized what the big was, but tryin to explain it to someone years later who wasn't there and can't feel it, is a waste of time and oxygen. me personally, i'm into MC's, not merely rappers. so people who have clever word play, an extensive vocab, breath control, subject matter, and a tight flow appeal to me. i don't care who's "hot". thats sht means nothing to me. hot=popular, it does not equal good. KRS-1 spoke on real issues, covering up ur willy, black cops and police brutality, as well as the down side to living the fastlife. but, above all, my man was all about rockin the party and having fun. not just phuckin hos, sellin drugs and killin people. bottom line, if you weren't popping when he was, then you wouldn't understand. same way ur kids won't understand why you think jay-z or weezy is the greatest of all time. woop woop, thats the sound of the police!
