KRS-ONE - LEGEND
Monday 29th April 2013 | Mark
KRS-One, the 47 year old Bronx native is a legend in the game, a huge influence to most of the biggest emcees in hiphop, and a pioneer for the genre as a whole. As one third of Boogie Down Productions aka BDP, ‘The Blastmaster’ burst onto the scene in 87’ with the classic album ‘Criminal Minded’, the track ‘9mm goes bang’ was a huge East Coast anthem, so much so 50 Cent used the track in his movie ‘Get Rich or Die Tryin’.
The beauty of KRS’s discography is that of discovery, every hip hop fan will find tracks they love within his vast collection of tunes, for example ‘MC’s Act Like They Don’t Know’ has always been a favourite of mine. His word play is exquisite, top level of the game, his intellectual off the wall style is unique, and the natural rhythm in his flow educated many an emcee since.
KRS-One is such a huge artist that you’d need thousands of words to summarise his career to date
