Talk:KRS-One

ummm... the paragraph saying that KRS-1 expressed solidarity with Osama Bin Laden is taken almost directly from a New York Daily News article, which KRS-1 has declared slanderous.

"For years my career has been one of promoting peace, love, unity and having fun; such has always been Hiphop’s cultural principles. So how all of a sudden now can I be aligned with Al Qaeda? What happened to honest debate and freedom of speech! I don’t speak for the African American community exclusively, I speak for HIPHOP! And let me be clear here; most of the Hiphop community is against the war in Iraq! But to align me with Al Qaeda is clearly an attempt by the Daily News to interrupt the street voice of our Hiphop community, KRS-ONE’s leadership and the increased momentum of our Hiphop political movement. I don’t think Al Qaeda needs my solidarity nor did I ever offer it, so what’s the point. For a major news organization to now align KRS-ONE with Al Qaeda shows the unwarranted contempt that such an organization has for me. Such is grounds for a law suit!"~KRS-1

You refer to KRS-One refering to himself as the teacha only after Scott LaRock was murdered, however he does refer to himself as a teacher in the track 'Poetry' on Criminal Minded:

"Well now you're forced to listen to the teacher and the lesson ..."

"...Take off your coat, take notes, I am teachin a class, or rather school, cause you need schooling I am not a king or queen, I'm not ruling..."
