You Can Kiss KRS-1's Career Goodbye

7even:
hm, weird. I could understand justice for arabs. But justice for black people? That doesnt even make sense lol. Punk.

what he says in his elaborate response is not too far off though... fuck the media

Kill:
while he might have some points, there is no excuse for the shit the Daily News quoted. And his fuckin response as to how he was 'taken out of context' doesn't provide any excuse either. It's not only cynical, but also straight up dumb to claim 9/11 was 'justice for black people' especially when your main point is racial prejudice towards blacks by WTC security. that's so fuckin blown outta proportion, think about it, 6,000 lives were lost and that includes several black lives from what i know. again, that is cynical and fuckin stupid at the same time. And it still is if you consider it 'retaliation' for the black people and injustice towards them not particularly related to the WTC, because saying that goes against christian beliefs and promoting peace and unity and seeing any kind of 'justice' in such an act (when you consider yourself a religious or religiously inspired 'spiritual minded' 'preacher') is HIGHLY ambivalent, contradictory and fuckin stupid. KRS is a punk

and what bothers me too is his incredibly presumptous and self-righteous approach to everything. He seems to be absolutely incapable of getting rid of his cockiness for a second (let alone reconsider his views instead of attacking anybody who might not share them), pointing out what a truth-speaking poet and philosopher he is various times. "I'm no. 1, oops sorry i lie, I'm no. 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5". He already gets on my nerves compulsively including shit like that in political songs and messages, but in this context it gets sickening. Cocky ass bastard

i'm not even defending the media, nor the way blacks are treated or anything. KRS points out true things, but 9/11 was/is not justice for anything or anybody (on a side note, DEFINITELY not for muslims as they suffered most from the consequences) and anybody within the hiphop community of a halfway decent intellect who really wants peace should agree on that. if not, he/she'd have to come up with hella better points than KRS. It's a shame

T-Dogg:
The man must be out his muthafuckin mind to think 9/11 did justice to anybody. :loco:

The Watcher:
id like to see how many copies his next album sells

On The Edge of Insanity:
In his response he did raise some valid points, but the quotes that were used either in or out of context in the newspapers do inplicate him. Quite why anyone thinks this is going to have an effect on his next album sales though I don't know. The people who actually still buy Krs albums aren't gonna stop going to just because of this speech, most of them (probably 9 out of the 10 remaining fans) have the same views anyway.
