	Flashback: KRS-One - Tempo
		KRS-One and Scott LaRock used their victory to launch their careers nationwide, creating Criminal Minded, which created huge controversy when, aside from the music itself, the duo posed for the cover with guns - something unheard of at the time.
		Boogie Down Productions (BDP), the combination of KRS-One and DJ Scott LaRock, released Criminal Minded in 1987, the 11-track debut that made a legend out of Kris "KRS-One" Parker and resurrected the birthplace of hip-hop.
		KRS made headlines in 2001, when he criticizied rap star Nelly for being a product of marketing and promotion to a mainstream, MTV-fed generation that ignored the history and basis on which hip-hop was founded.

	KRS One
		KRS One waxes lyrical with Rascalz and Shades of Culture on Saturday, May 17 at Spectrum.
		He's become known to most rap partisans as simply "The Teacher." And while KRS One (an acronym for Knowledge Rules Supreme Over Nearly Everyone; he was Bronx-born as Krisna Parker) has an obvious penchant for shock tactics, he also has a affection for verbose lecturing quite fitting his title.
		The Mirror seized 20 minutes out of Jive Records's crammed KRS interview schedule to talk to the man who says he's "the greatest MC in the world." And talk he did, right up until the record label cut the phone line after the interview surpassed the allotted time.

		It’s easy to tell KRS is behind the boards here; he puts together one of those BDP beats that’s nothing but a hard kick drum, a little snare and high hat, and meager synth horn accompaniment.
		One of the concerns I had when I first heard about this project was that KRS was going to sacrifice his usual onslaught of social and political messages blazing over a hardcore beat for this spiritual release, but luckily this didn’t happen.
		While the majority of Gospel rap has traditionally been just a very diluted Christian version of Hip Hop music, KRS, being the proponent of Hip Hop culture and awareness that he is, made sure that the spirit of the hardcore rap music he helped to spawn remained intact on this project.

		He also realized that in the position of being Vice President of AandR, such a position attracted people that were only interested in money and what KRS could do for them.
		In 1995, KRS-ONE recorded and published his seventh album "KRS-ONE," which established KRS as a Hip-Hop spiritual leader with the song "Ah-Yeah." "KRS-ONE," the album, sold over 300,000 copies.
		"By All Means Necessary" sold over 500,000 copies and put KRS-ONE on the mainstream map.

	The South End Newspaper - Hip-hop forum a success - A&E - News
		KRS-ONE told the audience that it was important to know the history so one can see how an impoverished community scene transformed itself into a multi-billion dollar a year industry.
		According to KRS-ONE and his organization, The Temple of Hiphop, there are nine elements of hip-hop culture: Emceeing, Djing, B-Boys and B-Girls, Graffiti, street knowledge, street language, street fashion, beat boxing and street “entrepreneurialism”.

		KRS-One is the first artist to rap in a off beat style, influencing hundreds of rappers to do the same since.

		The KRS ONE concert was put together at the last minute through the same personal connections used to get Ice-T, Reiff said.

	RapReviews.com Feature for April 24, 2001 - KRS-One's "The Sneak Attack"
		When KRS-One first came on the rap scene, he was a breath of fresh air in a world made stagnant by too much materialism and negativity.
		If KRS-One had rapped for the entire two minutes and thirty seconds and left out the Choir, this beat and his rap combined would be a hip-hop classic.
		There are plenty of worthy songs for any KRS-One fan to listen to, and this album is clearly meant for those who know him and his track record best.

	Metroactive Music KRS-One
		KRS-One flips multiple styles--fluttering his voice and tempo, stressing certain words, especially verbs, and launching another classic KRS line that will probably be sampled in 2010: "I'm not saying I'm number one," he boasts.
		KRS-One: teacher; ambassador of revolutionary rap music; co-creator of the hip-hop classics Criminal Minded and By All Means Necessary; Boogie Down Productions' voice of power on "Stop the Violence," "South Bronx," "I'm Still #1" and "My Philosophy"; a guiding light in a hip-hop world plagued by violence and greed.
