First up ‘Sound of da Police’. A song that spoke out against the long running history of the Black community experiencing police brutality, violence and racism at the hands of those that were meant to be protecting them. The hard-hitting words from KRS touch on the history of slavery and it’s manifestation into systemic racism throughout the ages since.
“Change your attitude, change your plan there could never really be justice on stolen land”
Couple that with a rough breakbeat, chopped through the MPC, alongside choice funk samples and that legendary police siren ‘Whoop, Whoop’ and you had a certified golden era rap classic that ignited the fire in the belly of many across the globe.
On the flip, ‘Hip Hop Vs Rap’. A bumping hip hop loop lays the foundation for KRS to work his genius melding all manner of classic hip hop lines that are the perfect ammunition to cut up on the decks and results in a flow that certifies that hip hop is the culture that you live and breathe.
“Rap is something you do, Hip-Hop is something you live!”
It’s a true, headsy b-boy gem which deserves a place in every collection.

Last FM Information on KRS One
Please note the information is done on a artist keyword match and data is provided by LastFM.
Lawrence Christopher Parker (born August 20, 1965), better known by his stage name KRS-One is an American MC and producer. At the 2008 BET Awards, KRS-One was the recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award for all his work and effort towards the Stop the Violence Movement as well as the overall pioneering of hip-hop music and culture.
Lawrence grew up in the Southview and Mott Haven neighborhoods of the South Bronx (A borough of New York City). As a teenager, he frequently accompanied the Hare Krishnas and was subsequently given the nick-name Krishna (also where the nick name Kris comes from). First using the name as a graffiti tag, it was originally KRS, but seeing as there was another tagger using the tag he added the the number one, thus becoming known as KRS ONE. The moniker originally stood for “Kris Number One”. Once he developed it into his stage name, however, he developed a new acronym for it. “Kris Number One” transformed into something deeper and more meaningful. His new message to the world? “Knowledge Reigns Supreme Over Nearly Everyone” or ” Knowledge Reigns Supreme Over Nearly Everybody”. Just like that, a Hip Hop Icon was born.
