I'm surprised someone else here actually knows who he is. He's awesome, probably my favorite MC (I have strange tastes). I've like ever since he was Hollacaust practicing Forest Vale style, but Old Jail Pajama Room style is better. I have the Pro's laboratory CD coming soon, I know it has Warcloud on a few tracks, hopefully it's not rehashed stuff from Smugglin' Booze In the Graveyard and Nightmares That Surface From Shallow Sleep.

Hmm, that's not cool. The fact that he would rather see Americans kill themselves instead of voting is a bit disturbing in itself.

The fact that he doesn't feel bad about 9/11 is surprising but it's not like we haven't heard this from people before.

I thought KRS-One was more down to earth than this.

 

[bjork]

First of all KRS one is one of the greatest rappers alive. He's a fucking living legend, he like Ali to boxing.

Someone ready the LOLLERCAUST plz

KRS was good back in the day. He never kept up. I guess it counts for nostalgia, but this guy's obviously not the same guy, and I dare you to say he's still good. Let's not muddy the waters of a good KRS bash with all this fanboy rhetoric. He was good back when dinosaurs roamed the earth. But the game's passed him by a long time ago, and this poor excuse for a man can't outrhyme my mom. Plus he's crazy. I don't think what I've said is unreasonable, b/c you know damn well it's true. PEACE.

He is still good. The only thing that's changed since his time is that the game has gotten worse. Yeah that is including the underground.

SOmeone name a good song that KRS One has made, produced or been involved with in the past 5 years....

Nah, KRS totally fell off when he did that song with Puff Daddy. It was his lyrical way of putting up that white flag.

 

[Saint Cornelius]

If I had to pinpoint the exact time of shark jumping for KRS, it would probably be the example dskillz just used

Phoenix: in the last five years? honestly, there's a couple of burners on "Keep Right" which just came out a few weeks ago. i don't remember the names but there's like 3 or 4 good tracks... out of 19 *sigh* it's not going to make you forget By All Means Necessary or anything.

ty guards kept black people out of the Trade Center "because of the way we talk and dress.

That may have been the only sliver of truth in what he said, sporsk

It may be true, but think of what hes saying. It was a place of business, not a place to hang with your boys.

I'm dissapointed in him with that comment, he doesn't speak for me. You can't rejoice to anything like that. The brother let his mind go a stray.

 

[COCKLES]

I'm sure KRS-One will gladly get to his knees and embrace the Islamic Arab's slave-master noose around his neck once whitey has been done away with, just as his ancestors probably did before the Arab's got rich on black-slavery trade routes by flogging their 'merchandise' to the white europeans.

KRS One Rebuttal To NY Daily News Article

His stuff about 9/11 is still mindboggling, but I actually thought this made more sense when you get the full quote:
"My full statement was “America has to commit suicide if the world is to be a better place.
If you want to go beyond voting American interests must put a gun to its head and commit suicide because as long as we are only interested in American interests we go out and invade the rest of the world. The real question is are you a citizen of the United States or are you a citizen of the world? And so for me, I would say voting in a corrupt society adds more corruption.”


And I still think the article was a sensational piece of crap regardless of what he said. I don't need their provoking editorializing to know how to feel about what he said.

Who's KRS?

I grew up on KRS, his albums that he did on MCA were classics... the ones on Jive were okay and I still respected him..... until I met him, now I have met and hung out with a good number of MC's and they are all egocentric (except for Mos) but Parker is clueless... KRS is just milking his fans at this point..

Immortal Technique represents what KRS used to more than Mr Parker does these days.
