I just came across an interview with KRS-ONE over at Vibe.com<\/a>. ( via Robotic Claptrap<\/a>) Some of my favorite parts:<\/p>\n

\n“Your hip hop conference is not a hip hop conference if I’m not there,”<\/p>\n

But I only hope that one day hip hop can become a university course. Because it’s that course at the university that will show you what to do with every other degree you got. This is why the university needs me. I will show their students what to do with their degree. That’s the one missing link that the university doesn’t have: you give a degree, but you don’t tell nobody what to do with it. The attitude of universities is, “You paid us for the degree, we gave you what you wanted, now bounce.”<\/b> But the university, whether I like it or not, is the think pool for America. You want to influence America, your ass better be in the university<\/p>\n

VIBE Online: Have you been asked by Bill O’Reilly to be on his show?<\/p>\n

KRS-One: Never! He’ll never invite me. When the Ludacris thing with Pepsi happened we called them right away to say, “There is another voice that you need to hear.” But they don’t want to hear it. They need to pull Cam’ron on there. But when they put Cam’ron on, 50 million people in the United States said, “Why don’t you have KRS-One? Why don’t you have Chuck D? Why don’t you have Talib Kweli?” That’s the un-knowing. That’s when you don’t do nothing and justice appears.<\/p>\n

I would ruin him. It’s beyond an interview. I would ruin his career. You don’t battle KRS-One<\/b>. You know what it is. I’m not just trying to win; I’m trying to destroy you. Period. And I will. So when I get in front of Bill O’Reilly record the show and label it the “Death of Ignorance.” They don’t want me on that show.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

You’ve gotta love Kris for telling it like it is. I’ll have to check him out next time he speaks in Atlanta.<\/p>\n

On a related note, I’ve been sitting on a huge KRS-ONE Radio.Blog post for a couple of weeks now. Hopefully I’ll get a chance to upload the songs by tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
