Yes, you read correct. The “Teacha” is embarking on a month long boat cruise from the United States to school Aussie’s on the true origins of the urban-street culture known in the world today as “Hip Hop”.

It was KRS-One who first argued that “rap is something we do; Hip Hop is something we live”. Appearing on the rap scene in 1986 as part of Boogie Down Productions, with the late DJ Scott La Rock, KRS made it clear that he was “the Teacha” with the release of his first hit single “South Bronx”. KRS, an acronym for “Knowledge Reigning Supreme”, is not only Hip Hop’s first true philosopher, as an emcee/rapper, he is considered the best live Hip Hop emcee of all time. With abilities covering rap, reggae, spoken word, and even classical music, KRS-One reminds you as to why you fell in love with Hip Hop.

With twenty published albums to his credit, KRS-One has literally written the most rhymes in Hip Hop’s history. From establishing Hip Hop as an international culture at the United Nations (2001), KRS-One has single-handedly held the history and original arts of Hip Hop together now for over two decades.

In addition to lecturing at over 500 universities in the United States and publishing three ground-breaking books; KRS-One has also established the Stop The Violence Movement, influenced the creation of the “West-Coast All-Star”’ anti-gang anthem “We’re All In The Same Gang”, warned the Hip Hop community against giving up their humanity for technological advancement (H. E. A. L.—Human Education Against Lies), and has established the Temple of Hip Hop for the spiritual exploration of Hip Hop’s culture.

Always a refreshing break from mainstream rap content, KRS-One delivers an intense street-poet performance that leaves any audience rethinking their approach to Hip Hop and its culture. KRS-One is a must see concert and a mandatory lecture for anyone really interested in the true essence of Hip Hop and how to successfully live the culture. Australia, classes and concerts are now in session.

KRS-One has been called:

“… the conscience of Hip Hop”
ROLLING STONE

“… the greatest live emcee ever”
THE SOURCE

“… the spokesperson for Hip Hop”
WALL STREET JOURNAL

“master teacher”
ZULU NATION

second adelaide show announced

http://www.onion.com.au/article/5159

Due to popular demand, KRS-One will be playing a second show in Adelaide on Thu Mar 29 at HQ.

With 95 percent of tickets for the first show selling out within a few days at most outlets, it’s expected that the second show will sell just as quickly. Those who purchased a ticket the first time around will be rewarded by having the chance to buy a ticket for KRS-One’s second show at just $50 at the HQ Cloak Room on the night of the first show only, but bulk ticket purchases are not allowed. You can also buy tickets at Venuetix, Oztix.com.au, Da Klinic and Clinic 116 from 9am Fri Feb 24.

KRS on the JJJ Hip Hop show tonight

And screw Tim Dog, he should bring Channel Live for this reason alone

Would love if he brought Channel Live and did Free Mumia!

KRS 1 - 0 SKETCHY HIP HOP JERKFACE CROWD. fuck me just about the worst crowd i have witnessed in Adelaide. embarrassing. 



put a downer on a great night really.

Say what? Everyone seemed pretty friendly, give or take.


the feed back was fucking shite though

fuck me just about the worst crowd i have witnessed in Adelaide. embarrassing.

I've seen some pretty sketchy crowds in my time. What was happening?

wow. the man is a genius.

I've seen some pretty sketchy crowds in my time. What was happening?

Just the usual getting anywhere in the club felt like you were in the movie 300.  Fighting and stuff, guy threw his drink in my mates face at the bar for no reason. Some of my girlfriends had a messy chick spilling her drink on them and stamping hard on their toes but being a cow about it when they said to her to watch what she was doing. I had another girl walking through the crowd not watching where she was going spill her drink all over and then try and kick me saying it was my fault.

No plur at all.

ahh the kids of today.
i lost count of how many drinks got spilt on me. filthy pigs.

Yeah heaps of drinks going everywhere and people forcing their way through crowds.

krs smashed it - might goto his 2nd show

heaps of cops there after even using the horses

 haha they probably seen all the sketchy fuckers..


that was the worst crowd i've seen since rise..

 The best hip hop show I have been too.

 KRS is seriously the man!

[video: www.youtube.com]

Yeah was kinda sad there were so many ferals there. However, KRS reigned supreme and before you knew it the show was over. It was an awesome performance, vibe and message once he was stage.

Delta & Staen 1 were fuckin brilliant too. It was just a few hip hop bogans full up on Piss taking off some shine. Think it might even be worth braving a 2nd show .

Ways are. The rut is one if my favourites

This is it whats the mayday shout BAIL OUT BAIL OUT!

bonus cos im pretty sure reflux played 'sweat of my balls' from cb4

krs was seriously next level. straight into my top 5 hip hop acts i have seen.

awesome night all round... quality time with some mates, quality tunes, found $50 at the bar, another mate found $50 in the maccas car park, got my krs jersey signed, my mate got a tennis ball and a tee shirt too.

 

Crowd was definately rowdy

Too many skinheads from Salisbury.

Seems kinda right that it was hoods from the north and south
They probably resonate with a lot more with a majority of the content

 Not really man, of course the Criminal Minded BDP days were a bit more gangsta, but KRS has been all about Stop the Violence for 20 years.

 Fighting at a KRS show is seriously the most retarded, disrespectful WACK thing you can do in hip hop.

 I spent last night watching the vids from the show, I got a wicked vid of a freestyle. Will up it to FB sometime.

 

 It was so good

Whaaat lol

People in the crowd sitting on their phones during a show sitting on facebook "checking in" with each other etc etc irritates the shit out of me. Just watch the goddamned show and get off your phones!

People who check in constantly do my head in. No one cares where you are.

People who use phone as camera is okay, but spending their lives on facebook when they have paid $$ to see a show, I dont get. And I use facebook a lot. But only when I have nothing else to do! Not when I am out and about with my friends. Its rude

I agree
Im not advocating any violence. From where I was life was peachy. Few wankers but for the most part I found people to be fine considering the joint was rammed.

why does it bother you? surely they are free to do what they like. I personally would rather watch the show but I dont really care if someone wants to upload their life.
