In this short clip, Q-Tip discusses how Kanye West and Common’s style of rap represents an evolution of the seeds he sowed back in the 90s. He seems kind of sad that no one remembers shit anymore and has no sense of Hip Hop history. Also, his generation clearly missed the big paychecks and yet, in many cases, they were way more lyrically talented. |Nahright|

Here’s a clip of KRS-One at SMT Studios’ Now or Never 2008 benefit discussing how reprehensible it is for the city not to take care of first responders and rescue workers who risked their health—many their lives—during the clean-up of the 9/11 attack. He also talks about how proud he was to be in Loose Change II, a very successful and controversial conspiramentary that offered alternative theories for the attacks on the World Trade Center. When asked if there’s a consensus in Hip Hop on what really happened, the Teacha said he won’t speak for everyone, but did offer an estimation, “I would say 80% of us believe that was some stupid twistedness, like however you put it ’9/11 was an inside job.’” He goes on and shouts out Jadakiss for outright accusing Bush of knocking down the towers. Also, if you have footage of KRS and are wondering if you need to get in touch with him to legally clear it for your videos, you don’t, he doesn’t mind being used for the promotion of the truth. |911Blogger|
