KRS-One Calls For Boycott of National Museum of Hip-Hop

Legendary rapper KRS-One, known widely as one of the originators of conscious hip-hop, took a stand recently to lead a boycott against the National Museum of Hip-Hop.

At an event last Thursday (April 8), commemorating the launch of the National Museum of Hip-Hop in the Bronx, KRS-One stood up at the podium and voiced his opinion about why people should not support the museum's movement, explaining that they will honor the genre's forefathers.

To elaborate on his views, KRS-One stated, "The reason that it's not going to happen is because Afrika Bambaataa has said this event is illegitimate and should not happen."

"None of the pioneers are in support of this event. None of them will be here tonight. I am here on behalf of the Temple of Hip-Hop as an observer. We are observing," he added.

KRS-One had originally been a part of the project as a member of it's planning board, but decided to remove himself altogether after the direction in the planning and organization changed drastically.  full story
