KRS-One Sets The Record Straight!

KRS-One was in San Antonio, TX performing and towards the end of his set he started touching on a broad variety of topics that were on his mind. The biggest point he made was in reference to the Illuminati and how people continually perpetuate the thought that either him or Jay-Z is involved with them. Not only do people make these accusations, but then they say they have "Facts" to back it up... now check out what KRS had to say on the subject.





"YOU-MUST-LEARN!" lol

But for real though... he made some good points, and we all need to take a step back and assess what is really plausible, logical, and even capable of happening before we rush to judgement on others.

KRS-One Urges For A Jay-Z vs. 50 Cent Battle!

Yo... now THIS is an ill idea. Get the two biggest MC's in the game to battle it out for supremacy of New York! KRS has the idea that if they engage in a Hip-Hop battle it would benefit the entire culture of Hip-Hop. Plus, he feels that money could be raised to help combat many of the ills in the world (including breast cancer, poverty, etc.)

I think Hip-Hop culture NEEDS this battle to happen. For so many years MC's have talked a lot of shit about PPV battles and tournaments, but nothing has ever materialized. I know that if this happens and independent MC's are allowed to try out for the undercard battles, I'm definitely signing up!

Mos Def Challenges Jay-Z, Lil' Wayne, Kanye, Andre 3K, and ALL To A PPV Rap Battle!

If this ever goes down I'd easily pay the $50 bucks to watch it! Between him, Hov, Weezy, Kanye, 3K, Freeway, Beans, and if Talib (and Black Thought) showed up?!?! Who knows who'd end up with the crown after that... I say it'd be a finals between Andre 3K and Talib to be honest. What do you think?

With firmly established business ventures like Roc Nation, 40/40 Clubs worldwide, NJ Nets, Rocawear, and potentially the NY Yankees, Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter has really come a long way. I’m not talking about the rags-to-riches story that everyone knows about. I mean the riches-to-wealth story that he’s still in the process of writing. No one else in the Hip-Hop game has turned their financial successes as a rapper into investment capital as an entrepreneur quite like Jay-Z has. Yes you can say 50, Diddy, & Russell should be mentioned as well, but Diddy & Russell weren’t rappers, and 50 Cent has always been more business minded than artistically gifted.

The fact is Jay-Z is creating a new trail for young Hip-Hop brothers who want to be more than just a record deal or a fashion icon. He’s laying down a true blueprint of success showing individuals how to focus on your vision, brand your ideas, and market yourself to a worldwide audience. He is becoming so well established in the financial fabric of our country that he can now create music simply for the love of art, rather than relying on it to pay the bills.

Because of the path he has chosen, young people can now look at the Hip-Hop industry and realize that being an artist can also be a platform for you to pursue bigger & better dreams. Essentially, if you’re good enough with the right mentality and can establish, brand, & market yourself, if you stay relevant the sky can be the limit. It also doesn’t hurt if you’re name’s Shawn Carter too, haha.
