November 15, 2019
If we would just unite, and stop doing ourselves, we could make ourselves a nation, and prison can go to hell!
I don’t have the answers, Sway. But if anyone does, I am betting it’s KRS-ONE. So many gems being dropped in this weekend session video. And he is right: We gotta stop with the “that ain’t real Hip-Hop” complaining… and go FIND those folks out here who are reppin’ the real! Let’s get together and get it together y’all.

Generation Z? Is that what we’re calling the youngest among us now? Who decides? And who will they look to as leaders? Well, Nick talks to The Teacha KRS; one of our leaders in the Hip-Hop Nation and for Generation X (my age group) who has a very interesting answer.

That Time Roxanne Shante Ran Up On KRS-ONE Over ‘The Bridge Is Over’ Diss (Video)
April 2, 2018
Really? BDP wanted to be in the Juice Crew? Hmmm. Kinda got me *sideeye* over here hearing that…
But, Roxanne Shante has the mic. So we gotta respect it. ‘The Bridge Is Over’Â …but the talk about the legendary beef, by the legend that got dissed… that wasn’t over… by a long shot! Got squashed though.
Roxanne Shante spoke openly with VladTV about the beef that started between The Juice Crew and Boogie Down Productions, which spawned the classic diss track, “The Bridge is Over.” Shante went on to explain how she even stepped to KRS One a few weeks after the track was released when she ran into him at the bank. Watch the interview footage above.

KRS-ONE – “The World Is MIND” (Album Stream)
May 12, 2017
Who knew that The Kris was dropping an LP? Well, now you do!
KRS-ONE the lyrical legend drops his new 2017 album “The World Is MIND.” KRS-ONE brings that Boom Bap back, with tracks like; “Raw BEAT” and the graffiti tribute “Out for Fame.” In addition KRS-ONE celebrates the South African clique language on “Keep It Clicking” and shares ancient wisdom on the title track “The World Is MIND.” This is another banger from the Hip-Hop legend.
Thirty Years Later: DJ Red Alert Gives Us The Real Story Behind “The Bridge is Over” (Video)
March 7, 2017
Nowadays we get beef in the form of Remy Ma getting at Nicki Minaj. But heads know… The Bronx and Queens has ben going at it over the decades. Let’s listen and watch at DJ Red Alert, who was there for it all, tell us about some foundational Hip-Hop battle history: The Bridge Wars of the late 1980s, KRS-ONE and Boogie Down Productions vs. on Marley Marl and the Juice Crew.
(As an important aside, pay attention to what Red says about a DJ’s duty to our music and culture. Great stuff! “The Bridge Is Over”… but Hip-Hop don’t stop… can’t stop!)

Ras Kass – “Bardom” feat. KRS-ONE
September 26, 2016
Ras Kass and KRS-ONE. They got one with this one. Hip-Hop heads, lean forward and prepare to nod. Even the title though… you certainly don’t think boredom with either of these emcees. You think BARS! Rhymes at the highest level… setting the bar for rap time and again. On the block. In the booth. Moving the Hip-Hop nation. Bar domination. All that – “Bardom!” Damn a Grammy! Heralding the release of Ras’ “Intellectual Property: SOI2,” this is “Bardom.” An incredible follow-up to “PayPal The Feature” (also on the LP, posted here.)

Samuel L. Jackson x KRS-One x Sticky Fingaz x Mad Lion x Talib Kweli x Brother J – “I Can’t Breathe”
July 12, 2016
All lives will never matter until Black Lives Matter.
– Talib Kweli
‘Calling out the violence of the racist police,’ is what Samuel L. Jackson is singing and what Sticky Fingaz, Talib Kweli, Mad Lion, Brother J and KRS-ONE saying with the rhymes in “I Can’t Breathe.” Mad Lion brought the beat. And check out KRS with the shutdown verse. Revolution!

May 7, 2016
Wow. Check out Masta Ace’s adamant stance on the rehashing of decades-old beef between MC Shan and KRS-ONE. It may surprise you; perhaps not what he says, but how and why he feels that way.
Let it go.

KRS-ONE – “The Phife Tribute” (Prod. By DJ Static)
April 11, 2016
Incredible idea (and music) from the Blastmaster KRS. He showed his skills and love by putting this track up as part-tribute, part-fundraiser for the Phifer. Peep the message from The Teacha:
Calling all emcees! To spit a 16 bar! In honor of Phife Dawg! All donations will go directly to Phife Dawg’s family. Donate whatever you can! Minimum price is $5 dollars. So you can donate as much as you want to Phife’s family. And if you are a real MC then lay down your 16 BARS! In honor of Phife Dawg, hashtag #ThePhifeTribute to spread the word!
Rest In Peace, Phife!

Macklemore x Lewis – “Buckshot†feat. DJ Premier x KRS-One
February 23, 2016
Stop the presses on every “they ain’t real” story you want to put out on Ben Haggerty (pka Macklemore) & Ryan Lewis. At least for now. Why? This “Buckshot†team up with DJ Premier and KRS-ONE. This has got to be the most awesome olive branch held out to Hip-Hop heads in quite some time. How real is this? Let Preemo speak on it…
Macklemore’s manager reached out to my manager (Ian) and told him that they wanted me to hook up a scratch sequence to tie in the lyrics that Ben wrote. Ryan did the track and we got on the phone to discuss the theme about their younger days running the streets and tagging graffiti. I draw as well so it made total sense! After I sent my parts back, they asked if I knew how to get in touch with Kris (KRS-ONE). I reached out to Kris’ wife and since he is a dope graffiti artist as well, he was the perfect choice and he laced the verse overnight. The whole combination made it a complete jam for the history books.
– DJ Premier
In a word…boom! Take a listen above. You can pre-order “This Unruly Mess I’ve Made” (due out February 26, 2016) below.

KRS-ONE – Black History Month: Lessons 1 & ​2 (Lecture Audio)
February 21, 2016
Black History Month: Lessons 1 and 2 is an eye-opening lecture of Black historical teachings by KRS-ONE. Narrated by Kris himself, this is a critique of Black History Month itself, re-frames the historical narrative of Black people in America properly, speaks of Black consciousness, cites and honors Black revolutionaries (past & present), and covers modern-day Black intellectuals. Mainly, Black History Month: Lessons 1 and 2 is meant to do away with misinformation regarding the African American ancestral narrative. Who better to do this with sharp intellectual analysis, retrievable facts, cited literature and poignant commentary than KRS-ONE? Nobody!
And what price is better than FREE? But, yeah, about that. Maybe… consider PAYING something for it; chipping in whatever you feel is doable financially. Because THIS is worthy work by a man who has been The Teacha to us all (Hip-Hop Nation, Black people AND Humanity) for so long. He did not have to do this. But once you click play you will be so glad he did!
KRS-ONE – “Now Hear This” (Album) [Video]
November 27, 2015
“Everywhere I go, from big festival stages to intimate clubs and bars, people want that boom-bap. But still, even though the streets are crying-out for more depth and authenticity in Hip-Hop, very few rappers today are willing to actually deliver.â€
– KRS-ONE
The Teacha – may as well be The Principal –  laying down principles, history and more for real Hip-Hop. Always! KRS-ONE dropped the new topics in his “Now Hear This” album out now. Created while KRS-ONE was touring the U.S., U.K. and Europe, check out the DOPE video above. We linked for the copping whenever you get ready to receive that blessing.

Tragedy – “Modern Day Gangsta†feat. KRS-ONE x A.G. (Prod. By Stricknine)
July 14, 2015
“Modern Day Gangsta†is a wake up call to the passive, who just ride along with the current power structure and status quo. Not just a nudge though, more like a shot fired to start another volley in the revolution. First trigger is pulled by the leader of this lyrical skirmish, the Q-Borough’s Tragedy Khadafi. Then the Boogie Down great, KRS-ONE “The Teacha†gives us some edutaining commentary on “Gangstaâ€Â politicians. Then comes A.G. of DITC Crew talks about police murder, the hostility and reality. The trio is putting the message into your ears, to get into your mind and body; to reenergize the soul of the movement. It’s a powerful elixir laced with (and by) Stricknine.
