EMCEE OF THE WEEK - KRS-One

KRS-One is the new "Emcee of the Week" at Hip-Hop & Bullshit. I don't feel like I really have to justify this decision at all. He is 44 years old and still heavily influences this game we call hip-hop. With his recent album release "Survival Skills" featuring Buckshot and his third book, "The Gospel of Hip Hop," being published last month, KRS-One is 23 years deep as a "Teacha" of hip hop.

The Gospel of Hip Hop is an amazing 832 page "Rap Bible," that I'm currently reading. The book truly inspires its readers to LIVE hip hop, as opposed to just benefit from or be a part of it. (Refer to my previous post on "The Gospel of Hip Hop" http://hiphopandbullshit.blogspot.com/2009/11/gospel-of-hip-hop-by-krs-one.html)

This week the Blast Masta Kris will be aiding the homeless on Thanksgiving day. He will be serving over 3,000 meals at the Bowery Mission from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM this Thursday and will also be providing advise to many of the homeless people in attendance. KRS-One himself used to be homeless prior to taking control of his life and turning his dream of being a hip-hop star into a reality.
