KRS-One was in a very talkative, insightful mood during this excellent interview that spans his history in Hip-Hop. Starting with the spiritual meaning behind his moniker, KRS goes into detail on some very previous unknown occurences behind the Self-Destruction and H.E.A.L. movements. Also, KRS reflects on why he felt battling (Poor Righteous Teachers, X-Clan, PM Dawn etc.) led to the end of his commercial/mainstream career in 1992. Over 90 minutes is a lot, but this piece is well worth your time.

If you like KRS-One, I think you might like my blog, Rhymes and Reasons. It is a series of interviews with hip-hop heads who discuss their lives in the context of a few songs that matter to them. The interviews tend to focus on questions of justice like racism, sexism, sexual violence, white privilege, etc. I hope you enjoy it.
