04/25/07 - KRS-ONE: " I would prefer that you see "HIP HOP LIVES"

YounG AleX · 04-25-2007, 03:53 AM

KRS-ONE: " I would prefer that you see "HIP HOP LIVES" as more of a 'follow up' or a continuation, a part two of what Nas has declared."

The Blastmaster KRS-ONE released a statement for all who are interested in his May 22nd album release with Marley Marl, called HIP HOP LIVES (without the dash between "hip" and "hop," as he claims this is the correct way to spell it).

Via Reelrap (formerly known as Bronxrap):

"This album is about unity and reconciliation. This is why Marley Marl and I reject any notion that our work "HIP HOP LIVES" is somehow an "answer" or a "disagreement" with Nas' work (Hip Hop Is Dead). Of course we knew that our album title would cause some speculation however, if our work must be compared to Nas' work Marley Marl and I would prefer that you see "HIP HOP LIVES" as more of a "follow up" or a continuation, a part two of what Nas has declared. Isn't it obvious what we are ALL trying to do? Nas, Rakim, DJ Premiere, Kanye West, Buck Shot, Talib Kweli, MC Lyte, Russell Simmons, Afrika Bambaataa, will. i. am., Dr. Cornell West, De La Soul, the TATs Cru, Lil' Wayne, Jay-Z, Ludacris, JS One, Rock Steady Crew, Immortal Technique and many others are ALL trying to refocus Hip Hop and preserve its original intent of artistic excellence, peace, love, unity and safely having fun. Isn't this obvious?"

Yes it is obvious, but for all the garbage that gets the shine, it's kind of hard for it to not become oblivious. And I don't give a fuck if KRS is known as Mr. "I am Hip Hop," which I wouldn't challenge. Regardless of his status in the hip-hop world, I don't cosign Lil Vicodin, will.i.am, Ludacris, or Hov as part of the "keep hip-hop one-hunned" movement. Lil Vicodin is an overrated joke, will.i.am was rolling with The Black Eyed Peas, Luda became even more commecialized with his fake "Runaway Love," and Hov is just making a bunch of noise over a sloppy beat because he knows he can do it and make it look acceptable.

Vjay88 · 04-25-2007, 04:11 AM

KRS is one of the realest man
And what he´s sayin is true, its not dead, its just in a coma waiting to wake up

Jack Frost · 04-25-2007, 05:06 AM

propz. hope krs-one can help the state of hip hop now.

I hate that fuckin phrase hip hop is dead. Why is hip hop dead? Cause Nas says it is? You know whats funny is when Angie Martinez didn't pull any punches in an interview with Nas, she got him to name like 10 different artists out right now that when she asked who he liked, he would name these people. If there are SO MANY artists he thought were good, why is he claiming hip hop is dead? Because it's a gimmick to generate this discussion, bring up his name, and bring up his album. Off of which he can eat, contradict himself 500 times, say commercialism sucks, sign a shoe deal with Lugz, and take pictures like this -- laughin in his elevated lifestyle while people like us debate back and forth whether what he says is true or not:

I agree with the poster about Hov, but not Luda & Will.I.AM. Luda and Will put out some good stuff. I'll be looking out for KRS's new album.
