KRS-One wants more love shown to our Hip-Hop legends while they are still alive. Speaking on Fatman Scoop, KRS feels the tributes should have poured in before now.
“It’s a shame we’re talking about him in this way,” KRS said. “Hip hop gotta stop doing that. Only when dudes pass, that’s when they get honored. We should’ve been looking at Fatman Scoop when his career was blowing up. He never got played on no stations or nothing, only DJs that knew would throw his music on.”
KRS-One speaks on the passing of Fatman Scoop and calls out Hip Hop for only honoring rap icons after they die.
