KRS Keeps the Boogie Down after Smackdown

1. Incredibly stupid.

2. The genre is, of course, imploding.

3. Why, y'all, that fan was ENTITLED!! Bear Witness! Yea-ah.

KRS needs to come over to the white side.

4. To the poster who commented "the natives became restless?," this just goes to show that it doesn't matter to some people whether KRS -- and by extension young black people in the hip hop movement -- react negatively or positively. People like FlBiker will attribute animalistic stereotypes to us "natives" no matter what. Sad. Nonetheless, I take comfort in the fact that a generation ago, Dr. King, Muhammad Ali, Nelson Mandela, Jazz Music, et al. were similarly vilified, yet today, they've all become respected cultural icons. When we (rightly) criticize young people of color for doing the wrong things, why not praise them for doing right too? Shame on you FlBiker.

6. First of all, Kris is an amazing guy. I have had him over to my house many a times and he is so polite and fun to talk to.
His wife Simone, is a lovely lady and i love her to death. this happening to Kris is an outrage, especially beacuse he is such a wonderful person.

7. KRS-One is one of the few class acts left in the music industry. It's cool that he didn't make a big deal out of this. but the guy who threw the bottle is an asshole.

9. When will the entire Black Culture band together to stop the violence? Not just the bottle throwing event, but the real violence that is killing their youth off. Black on Black Crime, particularly of the physical assault, rape and murder kind are at levels never seen before. Quit blaming the White Man, waiting on the Government, or Programs, subsidies, or whatever and get the entire Black culture to rally and change this...Sports stars, Movie stars, the Rev Wrights/sharptons/jacksons all must make this a priority...otherwise say goodbye to black youth...you all are dying and getting imprisoned at rates that only you are responsible for---not the white man, not the govt, not your teachers.

Most White folk have given up on believing this will change---we've seen it go on too long and your "heroes" not doing anything about it except getting richer for themselves.

It starts at home and most of you all dont have fathers in your lives. my god is this what MLK had in mind for "eyes on the prize"?

Shame on all of you who remained stoic and silent as the Black culture morphed into one that honors Prison culture, hates women and detests education. NO wonder you want to hurt each other and others who are stupid enough to venture into your black neighborhoods.

10. Yeah to #9, when was the last time any of you, black or white, rolled up your windows and locked your doors as you approached a supposed "bad" white neighborhood? Thats right----never. Because there isnt a bad white hood in the whole US.

The stop the violence needs to be addressed to who and where it is. Black People, Black Hoods. Period.

Let Them fix their own problems. they've blamed everybody else around them for decades, now let them fix it.

11. Yeah, he was supposed to perform at my college the day after that concert. BOO. It's okay, though—we ended up getting Sugar Hill Gang instead!

14. # 10 has never been to a all white trailer park. That place is the same as any project or hood in any inner city. Drugs and drinking are rapid. I will agree they usually don't kill one another.
