Ned, how can I be down?
Also, anyone who knows anything about hip-hop would know that the Blastmaster lost his fuckin' mind years ago. This stupid shit is really no surprise. I was kinda hoping that his quote was taken out of context, but from the looks of things, it wasn't.
Ain't the devil happy, Ripclawe?

KRS-One's a good rapper, but he needs to stop being such a fucking jerk. Black people died on 9/11 too; were they in on the white man's conspiracy to bring the brotha man down?
And seriously, "don't vote because America is corrupt"? Malarkey. KRS, show me a non-corrupt nation. Of course politics are corrupt; James Madison once said "If men were all angels, there would be no need for a government." Sadly, this is not the case. So we have to choose between the lesser of two evils.
I want to smack KRS-One in the face.

The Daily News... More to the Right than a million Bill O'Reillys.
The article is super slanted.

Funny that you mention that. I noticed how after they alluded to his real name, they thereon referred to him as "Parker". It immediately reminded me of how certain journalists would only refer to Ali as "Clay" even after having his name legally changed.
Anyway, KRS is officially dead to me now. What pisses me off the most is that he's ruined my fond memories of BDP..

They both suck.
I have a feeling a lot of this was pulled out of context.

It's hard for me to take this story seriously with lines like this:
"If Osama Bin Laden ever buys a rap album, he'll probably start with a CD by KRS-One."
"The hip-hop anarchist has declared his solidarity with Al Qaeda"
"The rapper, whose real name is Kris Parker, defiled the memory of those who died in the terrorist attacks as he spouted off"
"The atrocity of 9/11"
"Parker also sneered at efforts by other rappers to get young people to vote."
"But, judging by Parker's downward-spiraling career"
Not saying the guy isn't a nut for saying this, but the article is WAY too sensational for my tastes, and is obviously trying to rile people up as much as possible. Compare to my version, sans crap:
The hip-hop artist KRS-One angered many today by declaring that he and other African-Americans "cheered when 9/11 happened."
The rapper, whose real name is Kris Parker, sounded off at a recent New Yorker Festival panel discussion.
"I say that proudly," the Boogie Down Productions founder went on, insisting that, before the attack, security guards kept black people out of the Trade Center "because of the way we talk and dress.
"So when the planes hit the building, we were like, 'Mmmm - justice.'"
9/11 "doesn't affect us [the hip-hop community]," he said. "9/11 happened to them, not us," he added, explaining that by "them" he meant "the rich ... those who are oppressing us. RCA or BMG, Universal, the radio stations."
KRS-One's comments drew a loud boo from novelist Tom Kelly, who was in the audience. "I lost six friends there on 9/11," Kelly told us afterward.
KRS-One also disagreed with the worth of efforts made by other rappers to get young people to vote.
"Voting in a corrupt society adds more corruption," he added. "America has to commit suicide if the world is to be a better place."
I actually think my version has more impact, not less. It allows you to focus on the words that he said instead of the sensationalist and provocative language of the author.

mrmyth, I got your point, but two wrongs don't make a right, naw'mean? I was just listening to "Super Hoe" (man the iPod makes really eerie random selections) and I was a little sad to hear Scott talk about how he just got done knocking the boots on those two big butt females.
effzee, fuck Nelly. I wish KRS would throw his ass off a stage, P.M. Dawn-stylee.

Actually, rumor is that there were no jews, which is why MC Serch has been so silent on the issue.

KRS-One is one of those guys you listen to at first because he sounds intelligent, but then afterwards you realize nothing he just told you makes any fucking sense.
He lost the last of his credibility when he went after Nelly for being commerical while trying to pimp his own video on 106 & park

XS+ is right. As talented a rapper he maybe he is no political scientist(sp?).
So much for being a 'teacher'.

what a fucking MORON. KRS-one was actually one of the guys i respected most in rap. He always seemed intellegent, but that shit is out the window.
maybe someone didn't give this jackass the memo, but NEWSFLASH ASSHOLE: Hiphop is commercial. Hiphop is corporate. Hiphop IS "the rich". RCA, BMG and the radio stations "oppressing you"? Oh no, your record label took points off of your latest album so you'll be making 10 cents per record instead of 15. You're a regular fucking Kunta Kinte. Fucking out of touch retard. I didn't lose some respect for KRSone (if this is all true), i lost ALL respect for the douchebag.

Not surprised he said this, because over the last several years, its been apparent that he is insane. I read an interview a couple of years ago where he said that hip-hop as a movement wasn't doing enough to start a revolution, and we should band together and move to an area where we can create a hip-hop biosphere-type structure. People could only be part of the colony if they announced themselves as "hip-hop." Thinking KRS was joking, the interviewer laughed, only to be scolded for not being hip-hop.
And then in another interview he said he was trying to tell Nas about hip-hop's role on Mars or something similar, and he asked Nas to go with him and speak at NASA. I guess Nas thought he was crazy, and KRS told him he was like Neo, because he was "The One" to lead the movement.

I guess Bishop or some other mod better get their ban stick ready cause they are about to need it. First of all KRS one is one of the greatest rappers alive. He's a fucking living legend, he like Ali to boxing. The man has been around when hip hop way "nigger" muic and wouldn't last past the summer. The irony of it is that he's part of the reason hip hop is as comercial as it is, dispite being anti comercial. So fucking what Nelly out sels him now, Nelly doesn't have one tenth the skills as KRS. There wouldn't be a Nelly if it wasn't for KRS. That's like rubbing it in your parents face that you are a millionaire when they worked cleaning offices to put you through school. When the fuck has sales and popularty ment you have talent. Briteny Spears last album out sold Micheal Jacksons last album, of course that means Britney is more talented, riiiight. All you people talking crap about KRS are like a tick on an elephant your words mean nothing to the man. He as a "has been" is more than any of you will ever be. With that I say see you at the other forum.
