Yo whoever uploaded this very helpful lecture to the Hip Hop community I thank you! I always learn something new and it rejuvenates my spirit in these isolated fucked up times we're in! The Teacher KRS ONE REAL HIP HOP!

"LOOK INSIDE AND FIND YOUR TRUE SELF." That's The Truth in a nutshell right there.

I can't believe so many people walk out, you're so lucky to be there! Have some respect.

You still did the video justice!!! Great stuff and you got the real meat of it.

Krs is so right about Hip Hop I wanna 😢 cry!!! Bruce Lee, Kool Herc etc preach on brother!!!!!!

this is seriously amazing.props to this great man and to true artists!!

Those of us who remember the "early days of hip hop" (highlighted by the release of "Rapper's Delight") remember it used to be about "enjoying yourself" and "sharing your experiences," period. In short, KRS One is basically saying that "Hip-Hop" was the "inspiration that preceded the action." This is what Hip Hop "used to be" and was treated. Look back at all the "true" pioneers (Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five, LL Cool J, Big Daddy Kane, Eric B. & Rakim, Stetsasonic, Juice Crew, Boogie Down Productions, MC Shan, DJ Scott LaRock, Audio Two, MC Lyte, Kool Mo Dee, Salt 'N Pepa, Whodini, The Treacherous Three, etc...) and you'll see they all expressed their experiences and ideals of hip hop by just "interpreting their surroundings" with a little "song & rhyme." Hip hop used to be a "party atmosphere with no drama, troubles, or violence. The tragedy we call hip hop today was ushered in around 1987 when NWA, King Sun, and other West Coast Gang-Banging rap crews started getting record deals. Fyi, Dr Dre (a.k.a "Beats Audio") will forever be the pioneering architect of this "gangster trash," misogynistic," "ruff yo azz up" subculture that's both "foolishly" glamorized and decimated the true meaning of Hip Hop. Don't let Dre fool you; he was "nothing about gang banging" when he was with his first group (1984) named "World Class Wrecking Crew:"

thanks a lot for upload this video!!!!!!!!

So great its a shame no one else was recording. So much knowledge, I for one wont be forgetting any of this anytime soon. He was there to talk about hip hop but actually taught more important and useful things than teachers and professors in a conversational and brainstorming manner and it didn't cost u nothing but a little time.

thank you for filming this and sharing it! its a real blessing!
