News: Krs-One Pens The Gospel Of Hip-Hop

While many of us anticipate his upcoming release with Buckshot "Survival Skills", others no doubt will be looking forward to the Teacha's new book "The Gospel Of Hip-Hop First Instrument".

We all know that Kris frequently blesses many a Hip-Hop and non-Hip-Hop head alike, but a book about the spiritual side of the music? Well now that's a horse of a much different color isn't it...

The 600 page book is the first publication on Krs's new imprint I AM HIP HOP that is run through the publishing company PowerHouse Books as a joint venture. The book is set in the format of the Christian bible and aims to "explore the spirituality of Hip-Hop, the divinity of Hip-Hop", states Krs. Among the many themes and philosophical teachings contained, the overlaying idea is that Hip-Hop can become a nation free of color, race or nationality and bound by a single belief system, ya know, kinda how it is now...

Deep right?

I happen to think so, and as a long-time fan of Kris's views and music you can bet I'mma be bugging someone at Barnes and Noble when this drops to help me locate it. Many might rush to criticze (especially the religious nuts on the far right) but few will stop to recognize that this will be the third book Krs is getting published and that it's rooted, primarily in bringing about awareness within people about a lot of super important topics. So before you hate realize that the man is trying to do something positive....
