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!

More quotes by KRS-One
Rappers spit rhymes that are mostly illegal, MC's spit rhymes to uplift their people.
KRS-One
I'd rather make one righteous dollar on my level Than make a million dollars spittin' rhymes for the devil.
KRS-One
If I were to critique myself - step out of KRS objectively and look at him - I would say that KRS has introduced the concept of being hip-hop, not just doing it. The concept of rap as something we do, while hip-hop is something we live. The concept of living a culture. Don't just look at hip-hop as rap music, see it as a culture.

Believers of Jesus be denouncing Satan on every level, But every Halloween they're dressin' like devils.
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.
KRS-One
Educate yourself make your world view bigger, visualize wealth, and put yourself in the picture

Hip-Hop is being spoken through spirituality... Meaning that you'll be able to listen to it spiritually for yourself.

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!

There's a Universe Instrument, where we apply Hip-Hop to astronomy, and we flush out the chemistry of Hip-Hop. We also flushed out the astronomy, to see where Hip-Hop is read in the stars.
KRS-One
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.
KRS-One
Rap is still an art, and no-one's from the Old School Cuz rap is still a brand-new tool
KRS-One
The courage to be yourself is the essence of hip hop
KRS-One
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
Stop the negativity and control our creativity
KRS-One
I am the manifestation of study, NOT the manifestation of money. Therefore, I advance through thought, NOT what's manufactured and bought.
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.
KRS-One
Love yourself and your expression, you can't go wrong.
KRS-One
Trust in God, that's where the crown is at. It's not in what you get, it's what happens after that.
KRS-One
Kings lose crowns but teachers stay intelligent
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.
