KRS-One
Aug, 25 2009
Boogie Down Productions' legendary rapper KRS-One has never been afraid to get on his high-horse and preach, in his lyrics or in interviews. Now he's gone even further than ever before: he's written a 600 word book, called it The Gospel of Hip-Hop, and declared it to be the start of "a new religion on the earth." In an interview with AllHipHop.com to promote the new book, the man known as The Teacha said: "It explores the spirituality of Hip-Hop, the divinity of Hip-Hop... I think I have the authority to approach God directly, I don’t have to go through any religion [or] train of thought. I can approach God directly myself and so I wrote a book called The Gospel of Hip Hop to free from all this nonsense garbage right now. I respect the Christianity, the Islam, the Judaism, but their time is up.” The book is structured like the Christian Bible and offers practical advice about life, as well as philosophical discussions on morality and spirituality. "I’m willing to go beyond my born culture to create a whole new civilization," KRS continued, "[I] happen to be one of the first citizens of this new culture, new civilization called Hip-Hop. In a hundred years, everything that I’m saying to you will be common knowledge and people will be like, 'Why did he have to explain this? Wasn’t it obvious?'" The book is due to be published in the fall.
