"Does anyone else think that KRS-One's career got wasted over bad beats?"


  

          

i'm listening to Edutainment. KRS is rapping his ass off, but the production is kinda ho-hum. i know some of this is the product of listening to something made in 1990 thru 2012 ears, but from listening to other KRS-ONE albums, I end up liking 1 or two beats and pushing through 10-12 other tracks where the beats just don't match up to KRS-ONE's rapping.

he may be one of the best ever MC's, but i think even Nas has had better production over his career.

'wasted' is the wrong choice of a word and bad beats isn't the reason
