KRS-One is an idiot

[BoondockSaint]

KRS-One has ignited controversy with his comments as a panelist at The New Yorker Festival on October 2nd, claiming that he and other African-Americans "cheered when 9/11 happened . . . I say that proudly." (http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/_/id/6559895/krsone?pageid=rs.Home&pageregion=single1&rnd=1097849596340&has-player=true)

Looks like someone's trying to jumpstart a career/sell albums by making SHOCKING comments like that.

'Mmmm -- justice.' [9/11] doesn't affect us. 9/11 happened to them, not us. The rich . . . those who are oppressing us. RCA or BMG, Universal, the radio stations."



sounds like a bitter man who got burned by a label and is projecting his anger in a misguided fashion ...

and i'm not really sure how entertainment companies factor in geo-politics ...

Da Da Da Day..Hey...The Bridge Is Over...



Who gets weaker? The king or the teacher
It's not about a salary it's all about reality
Teachers teach and do the world good
kings just rule and most are never understood
If you were to rule or govern a certain industry
All inside this room right now would be in misery
No one would get along nor sing a song
'cause everyone'd be singing for the king, am I wrong?!



Love the old school BDP, though his statement is a bit nuts. I get the gist of what he meant, but I think he conveyed it wrong.

If KRS-1 were coffee, he'd be has-bean.

The ramblings of the rap equivalent of Extreme shouldn't get me this pissed, but I can't wish enough AIDS upon him.

Hey, it was bound to happen.

He made some classic albums under his name and the BDP banner, but the guy hasn't been relevant for going on damn near a decade now. He smoked Nelly in an MC battle and got zero attention, so now he's desperately falling back on what worked for him in the past...extremist political views, except now to the nth degree.

And hey, it's working!

"So when the planes hit the building, we were like, 'Mmmm -- justice.' [9/11] doesn't affect us. 9/11 happened to them, not us. The rich . . . those who are oppressing us. RCA or BMG, Universal, the radio stations."

The FUCK? OK, so the near 3,000 people killed deserved it...because of your shitty record contracts?

Idiot.

And yet he'll still probably be praised as some kind of "teacher/philosopher." Look, I'll always love those old albums, but it's the same thing with Chuck D...made some great albums, but the dude was all about some SEVERELY racist and violent black extremist political philosophies...plus you had the whole thing with Professor Griff anf the comments about Jews being "wicked and evil"...and the ended up just letting Griff back in like it wasn't anything, and now Chuck is looked at like some kind of wise elder statesman of hip-hop.

KRS-One explains himself...

Like everyone I was shocked to read that I and other African-Americans actually "cheered when 911 happened" and that I have "declared my solidarity with Al Qaeda". When I read my words taken out of context I was shocked and disappointed that the Daily News would go this far to assassinate my character and distort my views. Such statements with no follow up explanation or interview from KRS-ONE as to what he may have meant or even a complete quote of my point is simply irresponsible journalism on the Daily News' part. I would never just say something as crazy as "we cheered when 911 happened!" I was making an objective point about how many Hiphoppas as well as the oppressed peoples of the world felt that day. I am a philosopher and a critical thinker, I speak truth and I urge people to think critically about themselves and their environment. Yes, my words are strong. Yes, my views are controversial. But to call me a terrorist is simply wrong!

A young lady asked about what we can do beyond voting to change the political state of things in our country? I responded not by irresponsibly stating that "America has to commit suicide if the world is to be a better place" and that's all. I am a poet and I speak poetically. 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."

I was asked by the New Yorker magazine to discuss "different and personal beliefs musicians hold and the contribution artists like myself can make to the nation's political dialog". My views were indeed different and most were personal. However, when I was asked about why Hiphop has not engaged the current situation more (meaning 911) my responds was "because it does not affect us, or at least we don't perceive that it effects us, 911 happened to them". I went on to say that "I am speaking for the culture now; I am not speaking my personal opinion". I continued to say; "911 effected them down the block; the rich, the powerful those that are oppressing us as a culture. Sony, RCA or BMG, Universal, the radio stations, Clear Channel, Viacom with BET and MTV, those are our oppressors those are the people that we're trying to overcome in Hiphop everyday, this is a daily thing. We cheered when 911 happened in New York and say that proudly here. Because when we were down at the trade center we were getting hit over the head by cops, told that we can't come in this building, hustled down to the train station because of the way we dressed and talked, and so on, we were racially profiled. So, when the planes hit the building we were like; mmmm justice." And just as I began to say "now of course a lot of our friends and family were lost there as well" but I was interrupted.

My intent is never to demean or disrespect anyone's loss or gain; and of course I did not literally "cheer when 911 happened". I made an objective statement about the feelings of those who were oppressed by world trade policies. I was just as saddened as everyone else on 911. However, for many of us that were racially profiled and harassed by the World's Trade Center's security and the police patrolling that area as well as the thousands of American protesters that spoke out against the World Trade Organization months before in Seattle, Washington there was a sense of justice, a sense of change, a wake up call watching the twin towers fall. These are not my views only; these views represent a popular truth that few people are really ready to hear. No one wished death on anyone or just sat and "cheered when 911 happened". But some of us can see through the bullshit! America must change its approach to the world and its citizens. This, I believe is what

Wow, that was a pretty weak attempt to explain it away.

In short..."yeah, I did say EXACTLY what was quoted...but it was still out of context!"

It was a stupid thing to say. But I think his point was that it wasn't personal opinion. You see, KRS has appointed himself the voice of hip hop. So, he was speaking on behalf of the people he believes himself to represent.

The testament to my skill is you're still listening ...

[East Side Dave]

That guy don't represent me! And I'm the epitome of hip-hop!! I have all the Kriss-Kross albums and even some Bel-Biv-Devoe on vinyl don't fuck with me!

We know scum like this exist on the earth. That's not a mystery. The thing is, nobody is actually vocal about it. He was... and why? Because he's a lowlife with a dead career.

All we can do is just hope he or someone close to him dies in the next terrorist attack.
