I have listened to KRS-One‘s latest single, “Black Black Black,” a few times now and every time I do I get a sense of euphoria. I am truly over joyed that this man is still making music with the kind of passion and intensity he had when he first started.

My fervent wish is that a lot of these young guys who claim to be hip-hop lyricists would start paying attention to artists like KRS-One and tune into the message in his music. I want them to understand that it’s content like this that got us – as a people – to where we are now, and it will take similar messages to get us even further.
