So KRS 1 is coming back out with an album and he's written a tribute song to Nas, produced by Marley Marl. Hip-hop may just have a flicker of life left in her.

This is what the game needs ....

Real recognize Real. That's what legends are supposed to do.

Wow. This is really what's up. Old school legends being proud of and showing love to the cats that's carrying the cross. Nas did just release a straight up hip-hop creative disc in this "Pop-Hop" era we living in. Hip hop has a pulse... don't let it die yall.

Nas deserves it One of the best songs ive ever heard is the world is yours Qtip remix. As for krs-1 Ive heard some of his new music and it sound just as good as his old shit. Im gonna go oldschool and buy his new album when it comes out Krs1 you still the man.

I feel you on that.

The teacher paying homage to the student? Now that is big. Alot of these young dudes (And I am in my twenties myself) better do their history and understand who KRS-ONE was and always will be.

What an honor to be paid tribute by one of the greatest and one of your biggest influences in this game and in life.

Its like Dr. Jay Or Magic or Jordan paying tribute to Lebron or Iverson.

"I got this; locked since '91,
I am the truest;
Name a rapper That I aint influenced"----Nasir "Nasty Nas" Jones

WATS ROCIN SOHH? HOPE ITS MORE LIVE UP IN HERE 2DAY!

=TAH=

I PERSONALLY THINK THAT KRS1 PAYIN TRIBUTE TO NAS IS JUS RESPECT AND THATS WHATS UP! NAS SHOULD GET THAT RESPECT CUZ HES REAL SERIOUS WITH HIS!

BUT MAYB THATS JUS ME!
=TAH

Lol. I figured Rakim would been the one to do this song but regardless its a good look. I wish a veteran rapper would come out and do a song about what he thinks of the new rappers. Not some subliminal sissy ish but statin names n everything.

Knowledge Reigns Supreme Over Nearly Everybody

Now that's what is up. Now maybe some of these new cats will pay homage to legends like KRS, KANE, G. Rapp etc. KRS ONE has been doing it for a long time, and he is a true teacher. It's a shame new hip hop listener's don't support this man because they can learn from him.

If The BlastMaster co signs you, you know you are a true lyrist. Bigups to Nas.

@ poppmypill

Dumb nigga

Krs is just showing respect. Now if it were some sort of beef you would like that. Nigga get your young ass off this blog and go play with some Lego's.

KRS-1 is THE MOST lyrical cat out there....but most of these young niggaz out here wouldn't recognize someone of Chris's calibur on the mic....Nas looked up to KRS-1...most dude don't know that.....KRS-1 will lyrical mop the floor of 90% of these corny niggaz in the game right now.....but Chris said it best in the joint "Step into a World"
"All music lovers in the place right now
That never understood the way that KRS got down
Yo I'm strictly about skills and dope lyrical coastin
Relying on talent, not marketing and promotion" -KRS-1
"Stop wastin your money on marketing schemes
and pretty packages pushin dreams to the beams
A dope MC is a dope MC
With or witout a record deal, all can see
And that's who KRS be son
I'm not the run of mill, cause for the mill I don't run" - KRS-1

Real talk from the Blast Master.....TAKE FUCKEN HEED YOU WHACK ASS GANGSTA WANNA BE MC's.....

Did you see that Gillie Da Kid put that bitch Lil Waynes jaw on blast. The Birdman (another talentless bitch) furiously denying it. Why??? My lil sister could knock Wayne the fuck out. Homeboy looks like he ways 110 lbs soakin wet. He is soft as leather right?

what up BK?

You couldve flirted with Reckless...She's a broad too...

good shit nas has always been legend in da game nd Hip-Hop Is Dead iz a classic album shit even my mom bought it lol

Yeepie a old fuck giving tribute to a young fuck. Fuck KRS-1 and Nas both are old news and needs to stfd. Now don't get me wrong KRS-1 was the shit back in the day but now that's like 100 yrs ago move on and i guess if i was from NY i would look at nas like a god to but since iam not iam much smarter than that. You Nas&JZ dick riders need to stop. What has Nas done that's so amazing not a damn thing but sign with the guy who dug out his old lady brafuckingvo. If you ny jerks just stop smelling your own shit for a min then you will see you guys are bigging up the wrong ny rappers. Hip is not just in ny and KRS making a song about nas come the fuck on man plz that's not hip-hop unity that's some bs he just trying to get his name back out there using nas as a ladder. Someone told me that old rappers should just stay outta they way and let the music move on i back then said he was crazy but now i think about it they were right. "Those who live in the past will be doomed to repeat it." I don't respect old school rappers who don't know when your time is up and don't go away to do bigger and better thing's just hang around like some old ass perv at the school play ground. Theres nothing old about today's hip-hop and no room for that old shit.Now iam not hating on krs or maybe iam cause that weak ass shit he did with neely when he had the #1 song out (iam #1)he spoke on that when he should have just sat his old ass down and say ya your #1 now young buck but i was #1 before also.So if those old ass rappers want to do something for todays hip-hop then just go the fuck away.

U REMEMBER ON DA STREETS DISCIPLE LP NAS SAID AT DA END OF DA RAKIM JOINT THAT HE WAS GOING TO DO AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY ON KRS-ONE NEXT. WHEN HIP HOP IS DEAD WAS ABOUT TO DROP AN INTERVIEWER ASK HIM WHAT HAPPENED TO DA KRS-ONE JOINT, AND NAS SAID IT WILL BE ON HIS NEXT ALBUM, SO I GUESS THIS IS KRS-ONE'S WAY OF THANKING NAS AHEAD OF TIME

@ therealist:

You are cleary out of your fucking mind. Why is hip hop the only genre to tell the older generation to stay away? Rock, Pop, R&B, they dont do that. This nigga therealist is a clown.

Be for real. "Those who live in the past will be doomed to repeat it." -----Wrong qoute.

The qoute is "If you dont KNOW your past, you are destined to repeat it"

Go read a book my man. Graduate high school first, then talk about Hip Hop. New York is the Mecca, The Jerusalem of hip hop. Pay your respects cause you are gonna wind up no where. I aint even from New York my man, but I know my history and give credit where credit is due. We need to give more respect to the pioneers of this Billion dollar industry. You a type of young ass nigga who dont even know shit about himself or his own people. My man go sell some dime bags or something and leave this hip hop shit to people who know what they are talking about.

peace to all the suspects.big up to krs and nas.i just skipped therealist post.from the first two lines i knew this youngin is just lost.i dont understand you lil niggas.first you say nyc artist show no love to each other.then one of the greatest shows love to godson and yall still bitch.i give up on you losers.

@therealist
Duke you are just some ignorant idot looking for attention. You were sad cause KRS-ONE tore down your idol Nelly. I mean you showed your hand when you said you were sad KRS hurt Nelly's feelings. KRS is not only an Emcee, he is a teacher, a pioneer, gifted public speaker, civil rights activist, and one of the most respected figures in the history of hip hop. I don't understand why niggas are so caught up in the age thing. Hip hop is has been here for awhile, but not as long as other forms of music. So listen up youngins as time goes by you are going to have men & woman in there 50 and 60's still lovin hip hop. Don't hate on pioneers such as KRS1, because without them you youngins would be listening to heavy metal.

@ the "so called" realist...

Who in the hell are you to tell someone who loves something to give it up because they're old? Would you give up on the love of your life go if she got old? Do you say fuck your grandparents because they're old? Are you telling me these people who collect classic cars are stupid because they're old? You make absolutely no sense, the key word is LOVE, homie and there's no expiration date on it. When you LOVE something you want to tell everyone about it, want it with you everywhere you go, and you want to be buried with it when you die! That's LOVE, homie. Now don't give me the excuse that hip-hop music is for the kids because if you go back and take a look at the pioneers of this artform they all weren't kids when they started and it wasn't created just for the kids. Hip Hop is an artform and like Jazz, Rock, Reggae, etc., there's no age limit on creating art so get over that bullshit. It's all about the quality and creativity you bring to the table not how old you are. You may not wanna hear what he has to say but there are others who do. See with you it's obvious that you're in LOVE with being ignorant which is why you get in here and complain on old rappers. Why don't you find something you LOVE and when you do you'll realize that you won't have much time to complain about what the next man is doing because you're doing something you LOVE.

Gillie prolly aint do shii to Weezy. At first i was startin to believe that he ghostwrote for Wayne but then I've heard Wayne spit since and it still seems that dude is growing lyrically. Gillie aint ghost shii and he needa stop worrying about the boy Wayne and get an album out. If shawty wrote the Carter 1, then he shouldnt have no problem makin a hit, ya dig. I mean, everybody down here know Wayne really aint bout wuh he b rappin about but dude is a lyrical beast and could take down any ANY rapper period. Oh yea, great tribute by Krs1 or w/e his name is, i dunno. Its great to pay respect to the ones before you but Nas is a GIMMICK! The whole Hip Hop is Dead is a Gimmick and a way for Nas to get himself back in the game. Hell, you might as well put Nas in the same category as Mike Jones, because both of em use Gimmicks to sell. The boy Koopa (Chamillionaire) is the best rapper in the game right now, hands down

Posted by: CarolinaBoy-GBoro at January 18, 2007 1:27 PM

Nas is a gimmick? Go sit in a corner, your on an official timeout. And Chamillionare best in the game? Wrong!

And dont let Nas or any of these rappers tell you that they dont do it for the money, only just love of hip hop. I understand they might have a love for it but if it wasnt about money, then give us your cd away for free like Cham gave his mixtape away for free. The whole "Hip Hop is Dead"(Lmao some of you fools, mainly the so called purists) fell for this and now everyone and everybody crying Hip Hop Dead. Just Like Mike Jones was screamin out "Who Mike Jones?" Nas screamin out "Hip Hop is Dead, Murder the DJ's" Lmaooooo.

CarolinaBoy-GBoro when you come on this thread comparing nas to mike jones you prove you have no idea what the fuck your talking about.

its all love, no gimmick here. Krs already gave Nas props on his Kristyle album(2003). People calling it a gimmick not even knowing the facts. This track is a great look for hiphop. Krs knows that Nas' album came at a critical time. He's just showing his appreciation for it.

Bigups to the dude that wrote the post on "love", love for hiphop that is. I have this feelin that hiphop is about to start to comin back full circle, back to the essence, know what i'm sayin. I think Nas is playin a big role in this also.

As for all you lame fucks talkin bout wayne the best in the game and chamilionaire is the best hands down......you clowns are fucking irrelavent to hiphop and what it is. Nas is a gimmick?!?!?! Put him in the same category as Mike Jones?!?!?! Word to mutha man, that statement probably woulda escalated to me smackin you all in your face in the physical....lmao.

On the real though I actually like Cham....I met the dude in the Mall down in Texas once, he's a real humble dude and seems to have a real love for hiphop, real talk.

and bxconnect, u continually prove to have Nasir's cock in your mouth. How is "Hip Hop is Dead" not a Gimmick and how is it not just like "Who Mike Jones?" Shawty got Nasir dik so far up the booty hole, just sayin shii to defend his lil Nas, lol.

REAL H-TOWN HIP-HOP NOT THAT BULLSHIT!!!!

@CarolinaBoy-GBoro
Dunny you obviously know ish about hip hop. How can you call Nas a gimmick? Man has been in the game for a minute & still is relevant. Hip Hop is Dead the album title went right over your head. He wasn't takin shots at your idols lil Wayne etc. He was stating shit is commerical now. Hip Hop in it's truest form has lost it's appeal to idot's like yourself. You love the new commerical, no lyrical talent driven hip hop cuz it's dumbed down enough so you can understand it. Not for nothing that Cham mixtape is a fucking gimmick. He put that shit for free to say look at me. It's filled with garbage and throw aways, so it should be free. The funniest thing about that mixtape is the only banger on there is biting Nas's shit. LMFAO!!!

One

Same with the Dude. Yall just hate that ya boy is a Gimmick now and using that phrase to get a lil more cd sales.
Shawties tryna stick up for they boy, lmaoooo. Nas knew what he was doing when he said that, he even said himself he knew it would get people talkin, and that my folks is a GIMMICK!!!

Yeah. Real art is comming back because these hustlers as they like to call themselves wont be able to pump fake with bad music so they better find a new hustle cuz we're back!

listen CarolinasweetBoy-GayBoy fall back with the dick homo lines, newbie.when you tell me the eliments of hip hop maybe we can continue this discusion.until then go blast you new mic jones single.
