If Osama bin Laden ever buys a rap album, he'll probably start with a CD by KRS-One.

The hip-hop anarchist has declared his solidarity with al-Qaida by asserting that he and other African-Americans "cheered when 9-11 happened," reports the New York Daily News.

The rapper, real name Kris Parker, defiled the memory of those who died in the terrorist attacks as he spouted off at a recent New Yorker Festival panel discussion.



"I say that proudly," the Boogie Down Productions founder went on, insisting that, before the attack, security guards kept Blacks out of the World Trade Center "because of the way we talk and dress.

"So when the planes hit the building, we were like, 'Mmmm - justice.' "

The atrocity of 9-11 "doesn't affect us the hip-hop community," he said. "9-11 happened to them, not us," he added, explaining that by "them" he meant "the rich ... those who are oppressing us. RCA or BMG, Universal, the radio stations."

Parker also sneered at efforts by other rappers to get young people to vote.

"Voting in a corrupt society adds more corruption," he added. "America has to commit suicide if the world is to be a better place."

:helpme

:ak47:

Why is this guy still in the news anyhow?

The really ssad thing about that guy KRS1 is that he us educated.

I mean really educated.

His name stands for " Knowledge Reigns Supreme over every 1"


But then because the majority cause porblems for the minority, he says something stupid like this.

Did they keep blacks out? or they kept n1ggas out?

There's a difference

Freakin spear chuckers

Gee, that's funny - I've been to the WTC twice and I remember seeing blacks and all races up on the observation deck. In fact, lots of Orentals.

Stupid is as stupid does.

Stupid fucks but oh well what goes around comes around...

Now thats stupid.

i found it quite comical

:ak47:
:BangBang:

they probably kicked him out when he was begging for quarters and mistook that as some crackers trying to keep the black man down.

I am willing to die to bring back what America once was...

The man is correct, though a little improper in context I understand what he is saying clearly.

If you can not see why American's are not pissed about the Corporate domination and the special interests in America taking control you may as well have been in them buildings on that day....

Then....
Your already dead.
America has sufferered a Fundamental change and this sort of expression comes with the understanding that what has happened to America is not just 9/11 its about what happened afterward and the freedoms we have lost for the sake of Exploitation.

The guy is saying something contrevercial to get his name in the paper. It's called "Publicity"

And the media react to it exactly how he wants.

Thats the old view, or a phrase used by popular media to play down the admonishment marking the loss of freedom Americans are suffering. Things are getting VERY real in America.

VERY and its a more than being an attention whore.

when I read the article in question, with all the paraphrasing... my first reaction was they have taken something out of context... thanks for the link.

KRS-1 is just pissed that his career is over. He was looking for an angle to get some publicity and that was it, apparently the educational video he was in didnt turn the results he expected.

The politically correct term is "porch monkey".

sounds like his record label isnt doing so well. time to stir up some attention. when your hanging on by a string what do you have to lose.

I thought it was Jigga Boo...not that I'm racist

yep - just like on GFY - drama sells.

Yes, people live to digest the latest "Story" when they are not willing to digest the latest "Reality".

i hope that stupid n igger gets stabbed to death
