New York City - New York University was the setting of an interesting Hip Hop lecture by the Teacha, KRS ONE recently. Hosting the event was coordinator Jason King, who provided the platform of discussion. The Teacha covered many topics but about music he said, "when we were coming up, music wasn't as important as it is today because communication wasn't as important as it is today. When the internet came out, suddenly the ability to communicate became very important even to presdiential campaigns."

 

 

KRS ONE: "The reason you would join the Temple of Hip Hop is so that you could get specialized knowledge. You need the facts in order to be successful in any part of Hip Hop. Whether you advertise it, perform it, be it, live it. You need the truth. The truth is not out there right now. The truth or what is being called the truth is techniquely rap music folklore. We're focusing on rappers and their schedule of releases and we're calling that Hip Hop history. That's cool for the public, so that the public has the freedom to call hip-hop what they want. But when you get serious, then you need to get specialized knowledge."

 

In NYC KRS ONE stopped by Sirius Satelite Radio studios to chop it up with DJ Premiere on his radio show. The session was ill with Primo playin exclusive bangas from Little Brother and Black Milk included in his mix. The legendary DJ said he was honored to rock with the Teacha at Madison Square Garden during an exciting set at the 2008 Retro Jam. After discusing future plans for the Stop the Violence Movement Tour coming up Premiere played some recent joints off the Teacha's latest album Maximum Strength. Passionate callers chimed in during the visit as well giving much do respect to KRS ONE for influencing their view of Hip Hop.
