- I agree that Reginald is a big-headed shit-talking idiot. I think the comments
- he was referring to were his beef with X-Clan, 5% Nation, PRT & Ice Cube.
- His beef with X-Clan, 5%, and PRT was legitimate, but not really Cube, who
- samples KRS right and left and sometimes uses a similar delievery. However,
- if anyone thinks KRS was wrong about challenging X-Clan & 5%, then I suggest
- listening to "Build & Destroy." Although he later "made up" with X-Clan,
- he dissed them on the cut. Anyway, he is right--he's done more with his
- humanity (or is it vanity? X-Clan) talk than anybody else has done with
- their devil talk. He's created organizations, and even though they might
- not be multimillion ones, at least he has the initiative, desire, and
- strength. So Mr Fairy can kindly be friends with reality and PM Dawn when
- KRS disses him! (hopefully on record)
-
- Also, Reginald's comments about CL Smooth & Showbiz and AG were just as
- ridiculous. What is the deal with them? CL put out one of the phattest
- albums of '92 (just look at the year end issue of The Source and you
- see how many rappers said it was their top 5) and Showbiz & AG have
- definitely blown up. Anyway, Reggie's just a fool. . .
