Cold Getting Dumb - Just Ice
Stupid Fresh - Steady B

Honestly, I was too young at the time to really think it all the way through. But if the new phrase was "Stupid Fresh" and that's what everybody else was saying then I'd follow the crowd and say "I'm Stupid Fresh" or "I'm cold getting dumb" because thats what the rappers wee saying.
But KRS, Rakim and Chuck D were using phrases like "Fight The Power", "Knowledge Reigns Supreme Over Nearly Everyone". Rakim had some slick lines too, "Wisdom which means wise words being spoken" .
I remember Big Daddy Kane had a song called Word to the Mother. He said, "We've been here before the Mayflower" which sent me to the library.
Word to The Mother = Big Daddy Kane

That's why he suffered the backlash. That's like saying Eddie Jones is one of the GOAT shooting guards but most of his counterparts were better than him in the 90s

5. How come Criminal Minded isn't in the vault?
Like Water;8322786 said:Criminal Minded should be in the vault, but that doesn't mean you should tear down someone else to make your claim, ol' crab in the bucket ass nigga.
Some of y'all niggas must have lived in a bubble to not have heard certain shit. I'm glad I'm a Midwest nigga -- I never had to have loyalties to a specific region. Niggas just like what they like where I'm from.

Nobody is "tearing down" anybody. All I said is I've never heard of Project Pat, which is true. Never heard of him outside of the IC.

Well, you live in a east coast bubble. Get out of it before you make idiotic remarks.

So let me get this straight. You guys are saying that Project Pat is better than KRS One?
Wouldn't say that, but Nelly did give the God KRS a L
Yeah but thats like saying Michael Jordan caught an L when he was playing with the Wizards.
KRS was one of the elite MCs in his day. He didn't have much commercial success but he get much respect in the hood and in the black community.
When KRS was on B-Boy Records and Jive he was putting out a hot album every year from 87-97.
Its unbelievable that none of his albums are in the vault. That just goes to show theres a serious generation gap on the IC. I wonder how many people on the IC remember when KRS was considered the one of the hottest MCs along with Rakim, Chuck D, LL Cool J, Big Daddy Kane, Kool G Rap and Slick Rick.
I wouldn't say there's a generational gap, some niggas were just hot for there era but didn't have longevity. I always catch flack on here because I truly believe Rakim is the most overrated nigga in the history of the genre. And that's not on some "this old ass nigga weak" shit. Its on a "Man, Rakim is a legend to the culture.....let me check out his album and see what he was about.........this nigga isn't impressive to me" hype. Same for KRS. Even though he was aged, he was known for doing interviews talking bad about the current state of hip hop. And when it was time to back it up Nelly slaughtered him with a few bars and his response was "don't buy Nelly's album". Everyone else you named are Gods though. Moe D is a underrated artist.
