More quotes by KRS-One
I told Wayne to his face he was the dopest MC out. MC, not rapper. I told him to his face because I believe that, Wayne is nice! Wayne is bananas with his lyrics, with his whole delivery, with his whole thing. Lil Wayne is the man!

Believers of Jesus be denouncing Satan on every level, But every Halloween they're dressin' like devils.

I'm not an executive. I can do it, I have the mind for it, but there's a life that you have to lead, and you have to give up your creative freedom. That's what I don't want to give up.
KRS-One
I make intelligence cool. I make spirituality cool. If we can make one's devotion to God cool, then I think I did a great thing. I can rest in peace.

Rebel, renegade, must stay paid.

Are you tired of lyrical liars, passing fliers, Wannabe MC's, but really good triers, Tripping over mic cords, getting you bored, A total fraud, this kind of thing I can't afford!

Stop the negativity and control our creativity

As a conscious rap artist, you should not want to be in a gangster market. You should be trying to establish your own market, create a place where you can be yourself and make some money and feed your family.

If you're true to the upliftment of people and the unity of people, raising the self-worth of people, then you live within your means. But the problem is that we're looking at the grass on the other side, saying, That's greener. I want to be in the thug market, but I want to be a conscious rap artist. It doesn't work like that.

Hip-hoppers are not interpreting what hip-hop is, and when we do interpret it, we interpret it as something immature, unorganized, and outlaw.
KRS-One
I know that I'm freer as a hip-hopper than as an executive. Even as a black man, I enjoy more freedom as a hip-hopper than as a black man. That, s controversial to say, but it's the truth.

Teach the student what needs to be taught. 'Cause black and white kids both take shorts When one doesn't know about the other one's culture, Ignorance swoops down like a vulture.

It's just hypocrisy on hip-hop's part to cry racial profiling when your race is on TV acting like fools.
KRS-One
I think that hip-hop should be spelled with a capital H, and as one word. It's the name of the culture, and it's the name of the identity and consciousness. I think hip-hop is not a product, but a culture. I think rap is a product, but when hip-hop becomes a product, that's slavery, because you're talking about people's souls.

You know, you don't see with your eyes You see with your brain And the more words your brain has The more things you can see

Just black executives have a bias against older artists. We don't respect our elders. That's not because of white people. That's because of black leadership. We just have that problem, and it's something that I am going to spend the rest of my life trying to conquer.

The courage to be yourself is the essence of hip hop

The true word of God is written in our heart.

I'd rather make one righteous dollar on my level Than make a million dollars spittin' rhymes for the devil.
KRS-One
Rappers spit rhymes that are mostly illegal, MC's spit rhymes to uplift their people.
