KRS-ONE: The first rapper to need a pension

KRS-One is going to catch some flak for this:

KRS Replies To New York Daily News
By Nolan StrongDate: 10/15/2004 8:57 am KRS-One has hit back at the New
York Daily News, after the newspaper ran an article that labeled him a “Hip-Hop
Anarchist.”

In yesterday’s (October 14th) popular Rush & Malloy’s daily gossip
column, the paper accused the Bronx bred rapper of defiling the memory of people
who were killed in the 9/11 attacks on the United States at the New Yorker
Festival, where KRS was a panelist.

The article also accused KRS of siding with Al Qaeda, the terror
organization that is blamed for orchestrating the deadly attacks.

“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,’” KRS said in a statement. “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.”


Soo...are you denying your words? Of course not. He lost in the beef against Nelly, and now is desperate for some recognition. This is really sad....and to think that he would try to take so many people down with him.
