KRS-One says, "We Own the Culture", "Rap is Sold-Out", and "Of Course We Need Police"

Legendary Hip-hop artist, KRS-One 'the Teacha', hosted the "STOP The Violence Movement Chicago" along with members (including the Youth), of various Chicago Communities and Law Enforcement. The weekend consisted of live panels, Live Entertainment, and direct engagement with the Youth. There were other members of the HHA Hip-Hop Alliance, such as Kurtis Blow.

You also see it in Sports. Look at Football NFC(Blue), AFC(Red), Boxing, you have the Blue corner and the Red corner, Basketball, etc. The $64,000 question is this……….why these two colors???

I'm just a white Bri'rish person living in the Midlands of England, but, I'm a huge KRS-ONE fan, and it's really brilliant seeing the logical and incredibly intelligent (Hu)MAN himself make even someone like me understand a lot of the warped culture of modern Hip-Hop/Rap music. It sounds very accurate to me, but of course I cannot claim to know... HOWEVER, you're clearly a very wise, knowledgable, and fair person to be a great role-model for many people. Personally, I think people miss the point, but you're preaching true intelligence in your music. Always felt that was the case, but I've only just seen an interview with you, and I'M SO GLAD, I made the time to do-so. Absolute support from me. You don't have to, but, PLEASE, DEFINITELY TRY TO COME TO ENGLAND, IF THERE AREN'T BETTER THINGS FOR YOU TO DO. 🥲😂 What a Gent and a Scholar: Truly. (Hope none of that was patronising, just embarrassing for me :') )

[@DontHearHipHopJustFeel]

The realest of the real. The most enlightened, self aware man in Hip Hop. The man on a Higher Level for sure. KRS respected more over sea’s than in The US “Hip Hop Corny Rapper, R&B bullshit community” People all over the world GET Hip Hop . Real Hip Hop! We prefer substance over style. Truth and justice over the Dollar Bill. How much money do these commercial sell out muthafuckas need. What they need is knowledge. That the reason KRS has such longevity. The brotha got well earned respect!

All off the hard work of real talented individuals. Nice to hear people speaking out against bitches like Diddler. Even if it is in comments section. Even with out mentioning the allegations.
