As an ammendment to Coolfer's mention yesterday of the argument between KRS-One and journalist Adisa Banjoko, let me point you to a post at ProHipHop that links to more audio clips of the heated roundtable discussion. It wasn't just an argument between KRS-One and Banjoko, it was a heated exchange between KRS-One and seemingly everyone in the room over hip hop's culture, history, future and leadership. His comments show he doesn't respect hip hop leaders and thinkers who don't come from the street, and he goes to great lengths to talk about his resume and talk down at those in the room who weren't "there from day one."

• Clip 1 ("If 50 Cent and G-Unit was here, and they said "I am hip hop," half of y'all wouldn't have a fucking thing to say to them because they'd put a gun to your back. Now you got somebody like KRS, who's been philosophizing about hip hop from day one -- I get this kind of disrespect?)
• Clip 2 ("You can't go to college and then say you're hip hop. That don't fly. ... You better be a b-boy, an emcee, a graffiti writer, a DJ or a beatboxer and you can call yourself hip hop. Other than that you're writing about hip hop. You ain't hip hop. You better master these elements before you start critiquing them. How you going to critique something you ain't even doing?")
• Clip 3 ("I am not an artist or a theorist. I am the living embodiment of what you're discussing. To put yourself on the level of someone who has perfected the culture is inaccurate and illogical and it's counterproductive to the movement. Now when I leave here I gotta go lead real people with real families, real economic issues, people going to jail.")
