KRS One interview in Straight From The Lips (1993)

Great minds think alike. Just when I was posting “What I Know” along the review of KRS One’s second “solo” album, Elliott Wilson was posting the same song (under a different title) on the XXL blog. His rip sounds better than mine, so go check it and the other unreleased songs from the same session. Anyway, KRS later recycled part of this song on the soundtrack of Ma 6T Va Crack-er, under the name “French Connection”.
The short interview here is from Straight From The Lips, in 1993, where you understand how his sex life can have an effect on his choice of beats.

Say What ? Rap artist speak out : KRS One in The Source (1991)

I have tons of interviews where KRS talks about music, but what’s a KRS appreciation month without some of his comments on world politics ? Here he discussed the war in Irak with Jon Shecter in may 1991. The mp3 is from 1989 with 45 King on the turntables.

Classic Review : Return Of The Boom-Bap in The Source (1993)

Today marks the beginning of KRS One appreciation month. Why ? Just because. And if I believed the stats of this blog, a lot of people google his name and end up here, so I guess he’s more popular than what the last ten years of his career would make you think.

Livin Proof review, The Source (1995)

You know you suck when the guy who review your album can’t find one decent line in your rhymes and can only quote an interlude ! You gotta appreciate how the writer tries hard not to make fun of their lyrics. Lyrical enthusiast will surely appreciate the demo version of Supa Star, with different lyrics ! Have fun.

Holder Of The Rock : LL Cool J interview in The Source (1993)

Great interview where LL Cool J answers the questions of Reginald C. Dennis. Unfortunately I don’t have a copy of the Dangerous practice session that he played for him, so instead the audio is a live recording of LL dissing Ice T over the Keni Burke instrumental.
