Hello! Whenever you have time, could you write a dhmis quick fic where reader just appears one day? And then there's just 4 of them. Maybe at first they would think that they are another teacher and try to get them to teach something and they do it "wrong"(by not singing so the guys get confused about it)? Sorry if it makes no sense, I'm bad at explaining

I wrote it a bit differently I hope that’s okay!

DHMIS x reader (platonic) where reader just shows up one day!

Where are you….?

“Look! Something’s over there!”

Why does everything feel fuzzy…?

“Not something, someone.”

Huh….?

“Do you think they is-they are dead?”

Who….?

You blink a few times and realize you’ve been sitting slouched in front of a… very pink house, and there are three… things walking up to you.

“Hey there! Are you going to teach us something?” The small yellow one said.

“Yeah! Aren’t you teachers supposed to appear and tell us what to do?” The green one added.

“Um… where am I?” You asked these strange creatures while you started to stand.

They all looked at you in varying degrees of confusion. They all looked at each-other before the green one spoke,

“Well you are here silly! Just like us!”

“Yeah, but where is here?”

“It’s certainly not over there!”

“But where-”

“Are you going to teach us something or what?” The red one cut you off bluntly.

“Teach you?” You said, “teach you what?”

The green one scoffed, “you teach us anything! The last one came and taught us about eating healthy. You guys normally teach us through song!”

“You must be a silly teacha’ if you can’t remember what you teach!” The yellow one added, “maybe you here to teach us about where we are!”

“Uh. Okay.

🎶 I might not know where we are, but at least I’m here with you. 🎶

🎶here is here, and there is there… and we are here with each other.🎶

…. 🎶we are here together, even if we don’t know where….🎶

🎶we might not be anywhere, but at least I’m here with you!🎶

🎶We might not know where the road goes,

or what’s over the hill.🎶

🎶we are somewhere that is true, but at least we’re here together…”🎶

🎶I am here with you, you, and you,

And you are here with me!🎶

🎶here is somewhere in some place, and we are here, it’s true.🎶

🎶Here is here and there is there, 🎶

🎶and we are here together…🎶

🎶And we are here together….🎶”

The yellow one starts clapping, “that was a good song!”

“Yeah. And nothing weird happened…?”

“Are you really a teacher? You don’t have the same… qualities as the others”

“No…? I’m just here with you, I don’t know where here is, like I said in my song”

“also I’d like to add that that was all ad-libbed.”

“What does that mean?”

“It means I made it up as I went.”

“Oh! Okay!”

“It’s getting late, we should go. Good bye”

They all turned away and started towards the pink house, not waiting for you to follow. The yellow one turns back, probably expecting you to be gone, and stops walking.

“What are you doing?”

“Yeah! The show’s about to start!”

“They’re still there, the teacha’”

“Aren’t you going to disappear, or something?”

“Huh? No? I don’t have anywhere to go”

“Oh”

“Hey! Maybe you can stay with us!”

“What are you saying?!? There’s only three chairs and beds and there are four of us! There’s no way for all of us to live here! They just need to go away!”

Seemingly right as the green one said that you could see the house get slightly bigger, and in front of the door a chair appeared.

“Uh. Well that’s new”

“Oh wow! You must have done that just to get at me, huh teacher?!”

“N-no!! I had no say in this!”

“Well I guess there’s room for you now, come on, we’ve probably missed half the show already”

As the red one dragged the new chair in and the rest of you followed, you realized something.

You might not know where you are, but at least the company seems nice.

YOU SUCKAS: THE 25 DOPEST KRS-ONE SONGS

By Kiani Shabazz

Published Sat, August 28, 2021 at 6:00 PM EDT

Lawrence “Kris” Parker, better known as KRS-One, is one of the most groundbreaking emcees in Hip-Hop history. 

Known for his politically-charged raps, brash delivery, and ethos of promoting Afrocentrism and knowledge, KRS-One is one of the godfathers of political or conscious rap, but his influence doesn't stop there. KRS always incorporates patois and Jamaican toasting in his flow, connecting dancehall and Hip-Hop for anyone who may have forgotten how much the Caribbean helped forge this culture. And on Boogie Down Productions' classic debut Criminal Minded, his gritty street tales helped set the mold for what would later be called gangsta rap. 

His name is an abbreviation for Knowledge Reigns Supreme Over Nearly Everyone, and "The Teacha" never falls short of delivering a thought-provoking message with his gift of lyrical storytelling. KRS has a long catalog of tracks from his days with Boogie Down Productions and his solo career. Here are KRS-One’s 25 Dopest Songs. 

#26

“MAD IZM” - CHANNEL LIVE FEAT. KRS-ONE [BONUS SONG]

Our BONUS SONG pick is a celebrated classic guest spot! KRS links up with New Jersey duo Channel Live over a hypnotizing loop as the emcees spit lyrics about smoking the finest tree.

#25

“HIP-HOP VS. RAP”

On this track KRS maps out the differences between hip-hop and rap. “Rap is something you do, hip-hop is something you live,” the emcee explains. Kris shouts out a dozen or so other classic rap tracks on the song, which was a freestyle originally released as the B-side of 1994s "Sound Of Da Police."

#24

"AH YEAH"

One of the most incendiary tracks in a catalog that's about as unapologetic as it gets, KRS delivers this firebomb on his classic sophomore solo album, calling out white supremacy and racism on one of his most bombastic anthems.

#23

"A FRIEND"

KRS-One reflects on the qualities that people have to have in order for them to kick it with him. In true KRS fashion, the rapper has to drop some conscious bars about trustworthiness, hip-hop culture, and respect on the track about friendship and camaraderie.

#22

"FREE MUMIA"

While the track is dedicated to Mumia Abu-Jamal, a political prisoner, little is mentioned about him. It can be said that KRS-One used Mumia as a comparison: Mumia was arrested and convicted for political reasons, just like Hip-Hop was under trail and used as a scapegoat for political gain.

#21

"DUCK DOWN" - BOOGIE DOWN PRODUCTIONS

One of KRS-One’s hardest tracks. Over a banging drum beat, KRS delivers another clear message to sucka emcees about who exactly holds the crown in Hip Hop. With a hard hitting breakbeat and horror movie type sample, this track is nothing short of a banger.

#20

"BLACK COP"

The version of “Black Cop” that appeared on "Return of the Boom Bap" was a remix produced by Kenny Parker and KRS-One. The original record, produced by Pal Joey, was scrapped. In fact, its first release on the "CB4" soundtrack lists Pal Joey as the producer and its rerelease on the "Return of the Boom Bap" lists KRS-One, clearly revealing that a mix up had occurred.

#19

“JIMMY” - BOOGIE DOWN PRODUCTIONS

KRS-One gives us a safe-sex anthem with “Jimmy.” At the height of the AIDs epidemic, Teacha reminds all the “super hoes” to wrap it up before laying it down in the bedroom. The song is informative yet playful, the hook later being interpolated for Diddy and Pharell's 2001 collaboration “Diddy."

#18

"I CAN'T WAKE UP"

One of DJ Premier's most raucous beats is the backdrop for KRS to get off-the-wall; recounting a dream of being a blunt—that's getting passed among everybody in Hip-Hop, from Redman to Greg Nice to Yo-Yo. 

#17

"POETRY" - BOOGIE DOWN PRODUCTIONS

The opening track to the classic Criminal Minded sets the tone for the rest of the album: hard, minimalistic beats and KRS’ intelligent lyricism. Revolutionary and hugely influential, Hip Hop in its purest form.

#16

"RAPPAZ R N DANJA"

This DJ Premier-produced banger is the perfect opener to KRS One’s underappreciated eponymous titled second solo album. KRS has a message for wack rappers – guess what: they are in danger.

#15

"CRIMINAL MINDED" - BOOGIE DOWN PRODUCTIONS

The title track to Boogie Down Production’s 1987 album is the perfect introduction to KRS-One’s conscious rap style. The rapper was unmatched in his era. KRS flows effortlessly on the hard hitting beat as Scott La- Rock chops and scratches throughout the track. The perfect introduction to one of the best emcee’s of all time. 

#14

"YOU MUST LEARN" - BOOGIE DOWN PRODUCTIONS

KRS-One addresses the American public school system and its obsession with teaching black kids nothing but ‘white history’. In this song the rapper takes it upon himself to teach his listeners the importance of African American history, name-dropping black history icons like Benjamin Banneker, Garrett Morgan, and Harriet Tubman. He makes it clear that young blacks should educate themselves on their history. They must learn!

#13

"WHY IS THAT?" - BOOGIE DOWN PRODUCTIONS

Much like "Black Man In Effect" from "Edutainment," this song is signature KRS One. Thought-provoking, provocative, filled with knowledge and ultimately uplifting; this is one of the highlights of Boogie Down Productions’ "Ghetto Music: The Blueprint Of Hip-Hop."

#12

“STOP THE VIOLENCE” - BOOGIE DOWN PRODUCTIONS

The song that kicked off the rapper’s Stop the Violence campaign, promoting peace and harmony in the hip-hop community. The campaign was kicked off after a fan was shot and killed outside of a Boogie Down Productions and Public Enemy show. The track encourages listeners to change the narrative of hip-hop and street culture by putting an end to the violence, staying true to KRS-One’s ethos of positivity and black empowerment. 

#11

“9MM GOES BANG” - BOOGIE DOWN PRODUCTIONS

On this track, Blastmaster KRS tells us a story about his trusty 9mm pistol. Evidence of early KRS-One (before he fully adopted his "Teacha" persona), this Kris is not the one to fuck with. With some attempted robberies and beef over somebody’s girl KRS always keeps his gun on his side, always ready for the smoke. A prime example of how BDP helped lay the groundwork for gangsta rap, before the tragic murder of Scott La Rock set KRS on a more conscious path. 

#10

"SELF DESTRUCTION" (STOP THE VIOLENCE MOVEMENT)

“Self-Destruction” was released as a charity single for the National Urban Legue, a New York City civil rights organization that is dedicated to fighting racial discrimination. The song was made after several shootings in New York City’s Hip-Hop scene, including the one that killed his friend and Boogie Down Productions founder, Scott La Rock. 

#9

"OUTTA HERE"

KRS-One calls out all sucka MCs on the predecessor to his 1995 track, “Rappaz R N Danja”. The track warns one-hit wonder rappers and wack rappers to keep their eye on the clock because the time will come when they will be “Outta Here”.

#8

"LOVE’S GONNA GETCHA (MATERIAL LOVE)" - BOOGIE DOWN PRODUCTIONS

The 8th track off of "Edutainment" released in 1990, this single was produced by Pal Joey, and features a music Video. Here KRS-One teaches us the dangers of materialism and falling in love with items and flashy things and value these items more than life itself.

#7

"I’M STILL #1" - BOOGIE DOWN PRODUCTIONS

One of the stand-out tracks from the overall excellent By All Means Necessary album. As early as 1988 KRS proclaims with confidence he is still the GOAT and will still be always be. Thirty years later, not many have came to prove him wrong.

#6

"THE BRIDGE IS OVER" - BOOGIE DOWN PRODUCTIONS

This single is one of the most iconic diss records of all time. A continuation of their song “South Bronx”, going even harder on the Juice Crew’s MC Shan, Marley Marl, Mr. Magic and Roxanne Shante. 

#5

"STEP INTO A WORLD (RAPTURE'S DELIGHT)"

This track is simply a banger! Taking a sample from Blondie’s, “Rapture”, on of the first songs that made hip-hop pop, was an anthem dedicated to the real emcees and hip-hop heads. KRS-One raps over one of the hardest beats in his career that is sure to get the club rockin.'

#4

"MC’S ACT LIKE THEY DON’T KNOW"

KRS- One and DJ Premier team up on the classic track “MC’s Act Like They Don’t Know” to once again let listeners and rappers know who is at the top of the game. Not only is KRS the best battle rapper with the sharpest pen, he also rocks the crowd better than every emcee too. There’s no question that KRS-One is one of the most energetic rappers to blaze the stage. He is engaging and ruthless on the mic. 

#3

"SOUND OF DA POLICE"

Unfortunately, this track is just as relevant today as it was the day of the release decades ago. In this song KRS One addresses police brutality toward the black community, linking the days of slavery to the way police acts in these modern times. Comparing overseers to police officers, everyone should be scared of the sounds of the police. 

#2

"SOUTH BRONX"

In response to MC Shan’s “The Bridge”, KRS-One comes answers back with “South Bronx”, proving that hip-hop’s birthplace was still not to be fucked with! The iconic diss track is a staple of hip-hop history, officially firing back to Queensbridge rap group, The Juice Crew, kicking off the infamous Bridge Wars.

#1

"MY PHILOSOPHY"

KRS-One addresses the commercialization of hip-hop. He notices that the genre he grew up loving has become a marketing ploy and is losing the raw and genuine essence of hip-hop music. The song was ahead of its time, almost 30 years later the song is more relevant than ever.

Well, there’s another point for the “you were already loved” column, buddy. Edward tried so hard to save you that night. He couldn’t have known that you’d wind up being converted into a baby engine. He wanted to save you because he cares about you, baby or not.

Vybz Kartel & @PopcaanMusic Reunite On "Dull Colour"

There was a time in Dancehall where a certain “Teacha” introduced a “Prefect” to the world, and he went on to become one of the greats in Jamaican music. The “Teacha” is Vybz Kartel, and the “Prefect” was Popcaan. While their respective lives and careers took different turns over the years, they never made any collaborations. That has changed now as they reunited on the new single, “Dull…
