Produktbeskrivning: - One of the most influential lyricists of all time --Rollingstone.com
Customer Ratings: - questions. I d like to read this book, but my question is why does it cost 100 dollars? It seems like the people it was intended for will be the ones not able to read it.
- great read. The Blast Master has once again brought forth an education in Hiphop. KRS-ONE s love for the Hiphop culture and movement is best described in his book Ruminations. I found it to be a very interesting and dynamic read. For those that doubt the skills and knowledge of an Emcee that has been laying vocals from Street corners to world stages is mistaken when you claim his albums are crap and patrons demanded thier money back at live shows could be further from the truth. I have been to several KRS-ONE shows(from Chicago, New Orleans, New york, Los Angeles, Austin, Houston and beyond) and in my experience I have never seen a crowd so enthused or invigorated. Over the past few years his rhyme styles have elevated. A truly great Emcee never has to rely on GREAT BEATS but moreso on lyrical content. KRS writes rhymes for the educated and enlightened listener. HIP-POP music lovers need not apply, this style the KRIS style is way beyond your level of thinking.
- One Step towards Understanding. One Giant Leap towards Univerisal Consciousness. For those of you that do not read Ruminations and listen to the person that gave the book one star, obviously you are afraid of improving yourself as well as your community. To read this book, one does not need prior knowledge of spirituality, reparations for African Americans, or even Hip-Hop history. However, this book is not for people that are stagnant and unwilling to learn. Nevertheless, if you are living in the Dark Ages and want to partake in the Hip-Hop Renaissance, then expand your mind to Ruminations and digest the smorgasbord for thought by KRS-ONE. On the contrary, if you are believing life is one big bling, bling party and don t take the time to think beyond one s needs, then continue a life of selfishness and at the moment lifestyle and there will come a time when you will wind up looking for such insight whether it be from KRS-ONE or other philosophers, teachers, scholars, meta-physicians to regain mental stability and repentance for one s negative thoughts and actions. Like they say, If you think education is expensive, try ignorance. Buy the book and invest in the common good as well as yourself. You will be glad you have taken this positive step. Like Rakim stated on Follow the Leader, I guess nobody told you a little knowledge is dangerous. One Love.
- Dope, insightful. A book that really makes you think. A good beginning as a published author for Kris. As to the klowns that gave KRS 1 star, quit being a hater and realize that kris still is and always be one of the greatest emcees in hip hop history. The kat that hated on kris last few album probably supports trash like Chingy and Nelly.
- KRS Zero. A book of lies... Look online for reviews of his recent shows. He s voted one of the most dissapointing acts, not to mention, listen to his last 3 or four albums. CRAP. KRS1 aka the Preacher needs to lay off the coke and turn down the sound at his shows and quit acting so self-righteous. Spiritual minded?! I guess you get to that level if you snort enough blow. I ve seen him before, and the whole crowd wanted their money back. You can turn down your sytem Kris. No one s listening anymore. Quit trying to get all mainstream. Haven t you made enough money? cuz now you re just stealing it from your old fans who are hoping that maybe you ll put out a dope joint. I got all your new cd s, and they went to the trash along with your career. Sincerely, someone who truly cares about hip-hop. Peace
