Not only did Prince Bee have that quote about KRS but he said "Chuck D is the master of making mountains out of molehills!"
That left a bad taste in a lot of peoples mouth. Before PM Dawn had they own little lane & nobody bothered them!
At the end of the day the nigga was RIGHT though... That was HIS intervies he should be able to say whatever the fuck he wanna say just like anyone else.
Right about what? It's his opinion. In which he got his ass beat for it. Again I'm not for what KRS did. However nobody made Prince say what he said. It was totally unprovoked for where i sit.
Right about implying KRS One not really teaching shit and of Chuck D being extra about small subjects in the broader scope of things. And that pretty much is the legacy of "conscious" rap. That was the seed of its opposite, that gangsta shit gaining momentum. 2 sides to one coin. Aside from the obvious corporate corruption ( Def Jam your fucking thread is next!) there has to be something patently wrong with certain "industry archetypes" for their successors to be so ineffectual at balancing the market and actually having some kind of regenerative effect on the environment of their people. Statistic strongly suggest an association between black on black murders, sexual dysfunction and other degenerative practices within the so-called black community from where rap music sprung in the first place. Ignorant rappers die, killed, and get locked up to prove the authenticity of their subject matter while most "conscious" artists dont want to be identified as such and dont do shit but complain and circle jerk on how intellectually superior they are while their sons fucking kill each other and burn down their own goddamn neighborhoods.
