KRS-One founds religion
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 27 August 2009
Legendary rapper KRS-One has founded his own religion based on hip hop. He’s even gone so far as to write a 600 page holy text for it, called ‘The Gospel Of Hip Hop: The First Instrument’. Which, if nothing else, is dedicated.
KRS-One told AllHipHop: “It explores the spirituality of hip hop, the divinity of hip hop. I’m suggesting that in 100 years, this book will be a new religion on the earth. Now you talk about controversy, there’s some Christian ministries if you go online, look up some ministers, they dissing right now. ‘Who the hell does he think he is?’ Well, 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. Respect [to] the Christianity, the Islam, the Judaism but their time is up”.And verily, I do say unto you, whoop whoop – that is the sound of the police.
