KRS-One Lawrence Krisna Parker (born August 20, 1965), better known by his stage names KRS-One, and Teacha, is an American rapper and occasional producer from The Bronx, New York City, New York. KRS-One rose to prominence as part of the group Boogie Down Productions, which he formed with DJ Scott La Rock in the late 1980s. Following the release of the group’s debut album, Criminal Minded, La Rock was shot dead, but KRS-One continued the group, effectively as a solo project. He began releasing records under his own name in 1993.

ensue with Shan’s “Kill That Noise” and BDP’s “The Bridge Is Over”. KRS-One, demonstrating his nickname “The Blastmaster”, gave a live performance that devastated MC Shan, and many conceded he had won the battle. Many believe this live performance to be the first MC battle where rappers attack each other, instead of a battle between who can get the crowd more hyped.[1] Parker and Sterling decided to form a rap group together, initially calling themselves “Scott La Rock and the Celebrity Three”. That was short-lived, however, as the two peripheral quit, leaving Parker (now calling himself KRS-One) and Sterling. They then decided to call themselves “Boogie Down Productions”, “Success is the Word”, a 12-inch single produced by David Kenneth Eng and Kenny Beck was released on indie Fresh/Sleeping Bag Records (under the group name “12:41”) but did not enjoy commercial success. Boogie Down Productions released their debut album Criminal Minded in 1987. The album, whose cover pictured BDP draped in ammunition and brandishing guns, is often credited with setting the template for the burgeoning genres of hardcore and gangsta rap. Scott La Rock was killed in a shooting later that year, after attempting to mediate a dispute between teenager and BDP member Derrick “D-Nice” Jones and local hoodlums.

KRS-One is noted to be a politically active musician having started the Stop the Violence Movement, after the death of Scott La Rock, and the Temple of Hip Hop, as well as addressing political issues in his music.

Biography

Lawrence Parker was born in the Bronx, New York in 1965. Parker left home at 16 to become an MC, coming to live at a homeless shelter in the South Bronx where he was dubbed Krishna by residents because of his interest in the Hare Krishna spirituality of some of the antipoverty workers. By the time he met youth counselor Scott Sterling, he was also writing graffiti as KRS-One (Knowledge Reigns Supreme Over Nearly Everyone). Together he and Sterling, a.k.a. DJ Scott La Rock eventually created Boogie Down Productions, releasing their debut album, Criminal Minded, in 1987.

During this time KRS-One also gained acclaim as one of the first MCs to incorporate Jamaican style into hiphop, using the Zung gu zung melody, originally made famous by Yellowman in Jamaican dance halls earlier in the decade.[2] While KRS-One used Zunguzung styles in a more powerful and controversial manner, especially in his song titled “Remix for P is Free”, he can still be credited as one of the more influential figures to bridge the gap between Jamaican music and American Hip-Hop.

Boogie Down Productions

Main article: Boogie Down Productions

Following the fatal shooting of Scott La Rock in 1987, KRS was determined to continue Boogie Down Productions through the tragedy, releasing the album By All Means Necessary in 1988. He was ed by beatboxer D-Nice, rapper Ramona “Ms. Melodie” Parker (whose marriage to Kris would last from 1988 to 1992), and Kris’s younger brother DJ Kenny Parker, among others. However, Boogie Down Productions would remain Kris’s show, and their content would become increasingly political through its subsequent releases Ghetto Music: The Blueprint of Hip Hop, Edutainment, Live Hardcore Worldwide and Sex and Violence.

KRS-One began his recording career as one third of the hip hop group Boogie Down Productions, or BDP, alongside DJ Scott La Rock and Derrick “D-Nice” Jones. After being rejected by radio DJs Mr. Magic and Marley Marl, KRS-One would go on to diss the two and those associated with them, sparking what would later be known as The Bridge Wars. Additionally, KRS had taken offense to “The Bridge”, a song by Marley Marl’s protege, MC Shan (later on, KRS One produced an album with Marley Marl in 2007); the song could be interpreted as a claim that Queensbridge was the monument of Hiphop, though MC Shan has repeatedly denied this KRS-One was the primary initiator behind the H.E.A.L. claim. Still, KRS “dissed” the song with the BDP record compilation and the Stop the Violence Movement; for the “South Bronx"; next, a second round of volleys would 1

latter he would attract many prominent MCs to appear on the 12-inch single “Self Destruction”. As Parker adopted this “humanist”, less defensive approach, he turned away from his “Blastmaster” persona and towards that of “The Teacha”, although he has constantly used “Blastmaster” throughout his career.

Solo career

KRS-One performing in Belgium in May 2006.

After five largely solo albums under the name “Boogie Down Productions,” KRS-One decided to set out on his own. On his first solo album, 1993’s Return of the Boom Bap, Parker worked together with producers DJ Premier, Kid Capri and Showbiz, the latter providing the catchyyet-hardcore track "Sound of da Police". His second album, 1995’s KRS-One, featured Channel Live on “Free Mumia”, a song in which they criticize Black Civil Rights Activist C. Delores Tucker among others. Other prominent guest stars on KRS One included Mad Lion, Rimo, Busta Rhymes, Das EFX and Fat Joe.

by a remix featuring commercial rap icon Puff Daddy; another track was essentially a rock song. While the record would be his best-selling solo album (reaching #3 on the Billboard 200), such collaborations with notably mainstream artists and prominent, easily recognizable samples took many fans and observers of the vehemently antimainstream KRS-One by surprise. However, in August 1997, Parker appeared on Tim Westwood's BBC Radio 1 show and vociferously denounced the DJ and the radio station more generally, accusing them of ignoring his style of Hip Hop in favor of commercial artists such as Puff Daddy. Although having not been in the UK since 1991, due to the fact he does not fly, he claimed “to be in touch with the people”, and said that “they weren't feeling Westwood, he’s a sell out and has sold his soul to the dark side.” This sparked controversy in the UK since Radio One was one of the main ers of the single “Step Into My World” and caused the album to be his best selling. Parker has since visited the UK, most notably in May 2007, in a performance at the Royal Albert Hall where he once again dissed Tim Westwood in a freestyle. In 1999, there were tentative plans to release Maximum Strength; a lead single, “5 Boroughs”, was released on The Corruptor movie soundtrack. However, Parker apparently decided to abort the album’s planned release, just as he had secured a position as a Vice-President of A&R at Reprise Records. The shelved album was again scheduled to be released in 2008, but ultimately an unrelated album entitled “Maximum Strength 2008” was released in its place. He moved to southern California, and stayed there for two years, ending his relationship with Jive Records with A Retrospective in 2000. Parker resigned from his A&R position at Reprise in 2001, and returned to recording with a string of albums, beginning with 2001’s The Sneak Attack on Koch Records. In 2002, he released a gospel-rap album, Spiritual Minded, surprising many longtime fans; Parker had once denounced Christianity as a "slavemaster religion” which African-Americans should not follow. During this period, KRS founded the Temple of Hiphop, an organization to preserve and promote "Hiphop Kulture". Other releases have since included 2003’s Kristyles and D.I.G.I.T.A.L., 2004’s Keep Right, and 2006’s Life.

and New York producer Domingo among other. He and Domingo publicly squashed their beef that started over financial issues and released a digital single to iTunes on November 25. The single titled “Radio” will also feature Utah up and comer Eneeone and is dedicated to underground MC’s that don't get the radio airplay they deserve.[3] In 2009 KRS One guest starred on several albums including Arts & Entertainment on the song “ the Mic” by fellow Hip Hop veterans Masta Ace & Ed O.G and featured on the posse cut “Mega Fresh X” by Cormega (alongside with DJ Red Alert, Parrish Smith, Grand Puba, & Big Daddy Kane) on his album Born and Raised. KRS One and Buckshot announced that they would be collaborating on an album set to be released in 2009. The first single, ROBOT, was released on May 5, 2009. The music video was directed by Todd Angkasuwan and debuted as the New t of the Day on 106 & Park on September 4, 2009. The album leaked on the Internet on September 9, 2009 and released album was released on September 15, 2009. It debuted at #62, making it on The Billboard 200 selling around 8,500 copies its first week and was met with generally positive reviews. Steve Juon of RapReviews.com gave the album a flawless 10 out of 10, claiming “Buckshot and KRS have achieved something rather remarkable here – an album I can't find a single fault with. There’s not a bad beat, there’s not a whack rhyme, there’s not a collaborator on a track that missed the mark, and the disc itself is neither too short nor too long.”[4]

1.3 Stop the Violence Movement Main article: Stop the Violence Movement The Stop the Violence Movement was formed by KRSOne in 1988/1989 in response to violence in the hip hop and black communities. During a concert by Boogie Down Productions and Public Enemy a young fan was killed in a fight. Coming soon after the shooting death of his friend and fellow BDP member Scott La Rock, KRS-One was galvanized into action and formed the Stop the Violence Movement. Composed of some of the biggest stars in contemporary East Coast hip hop, the movement released a single, “Self Destruction”, in 1989, with all proceeds going to the National Urban League.[10] A music video was created, and a VHS cassette entitled Overcoming Self-Destruction – The Making of the Self-Destruction Video was also released. “Self-Destruction” was produced by KRS-One and DNice of Boogie Down Productions (Hank Shocklee of The Bomb Squad is credited as an associate producer).

1.4 Temple of Hip Hop The Temple of Hip Hop is a ministry, archive, School, and Society (M.A.S.S.) founded by KRS-One. Its goal is to maintain and promote Hiphop Culture. The Temple of Hip Hop maintains that Hip Hop is a genuine political movement, religion, and culture, as it has been accepted by the United Nations as a religion. The Temple of Hiphop calls on all Hip Hop fans to celebrate Hip Hop Appreciation Week. It encourages DJs and MCs to teach people about the culture of Hiphop, to write more socially conscious songs, and radio stations to play more socially conscious hip hop. Hip Hop Appreciation Week is celebrated on the third week of May each year. Hip Hop History Month (November), founded by the Universal Zulu Nation, is also recognized.

In 2010 KRS One was honored along with Buckshot by artists Ruste Juxx, Torae & Skyzoo, Sha Stimuli, Promise, J.A.M.E.S. Watts and Team Facelift to name a few on their mixtape 'Survival Kit' which is an ode to the 2009 album Survival Skills by KRS One and Buckshot. The mixtape was released for free on DuckDown.com. The album features new version of KRS classics 'South Bronx', 'Sound Of Da Police' and 'MC’s Act Like They Don't Know' as well as new versions of well known Buckshot songs and 'Past Present Future' from the Survival Skills album. The MC Fashawn stated in his verse on MC’s Act Like They Don't Know that 'I did it 1.5 September 11 comments to make Kris smile I figured he'd appreciate it'[5] KRS One was featured as the voice of Chris Cringle in In 2004, KRS engendered a controversy when he was the new Nike Most Valuable Puppets commercials.

The video contained actual news images of American atrocities throughout history while the song featured Krs-One coarguing that the United States is just as guilty of terrorism as are those who the country accuses of terrorism. The song & video caused much online controversy late in 2011. Sites like Vimeo saw it get over 50,000 hits in just a few days and YouTube refused to comment on the banning.

1.6 Gospel of Hip Hop comments 9/11), my response was “because it does not affect us, or at least we don’t perceive that it affects us, 9/11 happened to them”. I went on to say that “I am speaking for the culture now; I am not speaking my personal opinion.” I continued to say; “9/11 affected them down the block; the rich, the powerful those that are oppressing us as a culture. Sony, RCA or BMG, Universal, the radio stations, Clear Channel, Viacom with BET and MTV, those are our oppressors, those are the people that we're trying to overcome in hiphop everyday, this is a daily thing. We cheered when 9/11 happened in New York and say that proudly here. Because when they were down at the trade center we were getting hit over the head by cops, told that we can’t come in this building, hustled down to the train station because of the way we dressed and talked, and so on, we were racially profiled. So, when the planes hit the building we were like, “mmmm, justice.” And just as I began to say “now of course a lot of our friends and family were lost there as well” I was interrupted...

In an interview with AllHipHop about his book The Gospel of Hip Hop, KRS-One said: “I’m suggesting that in 100 years, this book will be a new religion on the earth... I think I have the authority to approach God directly, I don’t have to go through any religion [or] train of thought. I can approach God directly myself and so I wrote a book called The Gospel of Hip Hop to free from all this nonsense garbage right now. I respect the Christianity, the Islam, the Judaism but their time is up. ...In a hundred years, everything that I’m saying to you will be common knowledge and people will be like, 'Why did he have to explain this? Wasn’t it obvious?'"[13]

These comments have been referred to by numerous media outlets[14][15][16] such as the AV Club who comment that “KRS-One writes 600-page hip-hop bible; blueprint for rap religion”[17] and “KRS-One has never been afraid to court controversy and provoke strong reactions.
