KRS-One (born Lawrence Parker on August 20, 1965 in Park Slope, Brooklyn, New York) is an American hip-hop MC. Over his career he has been known by several pseudonyms, including Kris Parker, KRS One, KRS-ONE (as given at his site), The Blastmaster and The Teacha. KRS-One is an acronym for “‘K’nowledge ‘R’eigns ‘S’upreme ‘O’ver ‘N’early ‘E’veryone”. KRS One is a significant figure in the hip hop community and is often referenced in works by other hip hop artists and critics as being the ‘essence’ of an MC and one of the greatest to ever hold the mic.
KRS-ONE, originally a member of the hip hop crew Boogie Down Productions, is known for setting the path for both hardcore rap and socially conscious political rap.
Youth and early career
Born Lawrence Parker in the Park Slope neighborhood of Brooklyn in 1965, the future KRS-One grew up with his brother Kenny and their single mother in assorted inner city neighborhoods of Brooklyn and the Bronx. According to interviews with The Source Magazine, one fateful day when he was 12 years old, he and his brother Kenny prepared a pan of flavored rice, which was to be the family’s dinner for the evening. The hungry pair ate the whole thing, and when their mother came home from work, she kicked them out of the apartment in a fit of anger. They stayed away for two days before younger Kenny decided to go back home, while Lawrence opted not to return. He spent the better part of the next seven years homeless, much of it at local libraries.

Ależ on jest brzydki!!!!!!!!! Na szczęście nie o urodę tu chodzi lesz o to jakim jest MC, a jest jednym z najlepszych. Kiedyś mi się nie podobał jako raper, ale od niedawna to sie zmieniło o 180 stopni!!!!!!!!! "Mc's act like they don't know" to jeden z najlepszych kawałków jakie w życiu słyszałem. PEACE.

no! no! no! i remember clearly it was krs featuring another mc (that i didn't know). my memory of the lyrics if REALLY hazy, all i remembe that in the beginning of the song krs starts spitting and says something like " it's a passion... caligraphy..." and he stops his part right before chorus saing "straight up autographing".... i know. this is doomed

hey can somebody help me out. i just remembered a song i used to listen by krs one, but now i can't remember the song's name or much of the lyrics. it was on some mixtape and he was featuring another artist. the beat sounded like it was sampled from a classical song, and the song was about graffiti. in the chorus they sampled ice-t's colors verse: I'M A STAR, ON THE WALL'S MY AUTOGRAPH. this is driving me crazy, please tell me the name of this song!!
