KRS Keeps the Boogie Down after Smackdown

KRS Nothing like a little flying glass to help preach non-violence!

Old-school rap legend KRS-One was hospitalized in New Haven, CT with a fractured hand last night when a "fan" threw a bottle on stage, striking the rapper in the head and hand. And get this: KRS was performing in New Haven on his Stop the Violence tour. Jesus take the wheel!

The concert-goer was upset because club security had removed him from the stage, according to AllHipHop.com. The rapper had to cancel several upcoming appearances due to the severity his injuries. The best thing, though? He kept rappin' even after getting hit!

Instead of going all Lil' Wayne on the fan, KRS-One practiced what he preached and asked that the offender not be prosecuted, telling fans after he was hit, "Let it go. Let it go. When negativity comes your way, let it go." Of course he was probably delusional from all the blood he lost.

As of today, New Haven police have no file reported of the incident.

31. Its Your Own Fault Now raises a valid point. OUR African American/Black leaders are strictly out for their own financial gain. Some of them , while in the process of fighting devils; and dragons have become developed demons themselves. Others of them are in love and are so eager to please Our ex-slavemasters, they fall over eachother trying to to meet their approval. These self serving House N*%##^%^ have always been an overlooked and underestimated liability. It is time to address the issue of house ("n" words), uncle toms and aunt jemima's with perms because they are not harmless; and never have been.

#35, cooklady;

you named mass murderers;

not ALL serial killers
are of the lighter skin;

just the sick ones.

in magnification within the prison system,
you will find the violent offenders to have done
something horrific to someone out of pure
emotion or over money and/or territory.

when firing up your stew, it's NOT
the ingredients that make it good;

it's the time and attention towards love from
the very beginning, that makes it all worth while.

35. How did a postive post turn into a race thing, it's not even the point. The point was that KRS has class and did something positive by setting example about walking away from volience. Then all of a sudden it's black people are so dangerous. They didn't even say if he was black or not, and i go to tons of concerts and from the south and Rednecks throw bottles, In Mobile, AL bay fest I remember the lead singer of volient femmes getting hit with a bottle really bad from a white guy. We can stereotype all we want, but anyone can point out things bad about a race, Everyone is like look at the facts about black people well I wonder how many of them molest children, because anytime you hear about that it's from a white person so you can say we are oversex. I'm proud of KRS_one he didn't act like Akon!

37. Ex-slave masters?!? I challenge you to find anyone on this blog who was ever an ex-slave master. They're all long dead, oh time traveller. How about staying in this century? You have never been anyone's slave, either. Then again, you can dwell on what you want all you want, and then you will never have to be accountable for your own success or failures in this time and place. You can blame the ancestors, lol.

Ancestors don't struggle and suffer for their great grandchildren to remain obsessed on their past. You insult everything they struggled for. They want you to have a good life, now. Obsession is destructive for the obsessed.

40. Yes. The hour has long since passed for blacks in the U.S. to get our act together. Us. No one else, and I believe we should start with our so-called black leaders and organizations that are self serving and have mis-placed their priorities.

Their audacity in sitting quietly and watching while poor black children are left so far behind, they aren't even a blur anymore, makes it apparent to me; that these so-called leaders duties, loyalties and responsibilties are with those of Our oppressors (canI say oppressor mi doll?). We must always remember the lesson of our REAL (slain) leaders; and that lesson is... House N**%^&^s and Jemimas are not harmless; and they never have been. Wake-Up!

42. Over this past year, where I live, one company hung 3 nooses and the Scotland flag (still no U.S. flag), yet the President of the town's NAACP accepted a job with the company... She resigned only after the story made the front page. The Mayor of my towns high school age son helped to commit a hate crime against a black student because she dated white boys. The mayor, the police, nor the school department did anything while the girl stayed out of school for 6 weeks (they said they'd kill her like King), Meanwhile, all of the white students (mayors son included) continued their classes. She went back to school during the 7th week only after being escorted by the NAACP. So, do not attempt to tell me I am living in another Century because I am very grounded in the present. 4000+ Dead Soldiers; 300,000+ Injured (on our side alone); and yet I still have nooses and segregation in my back yard. Your right, I am no ones slave.... I am an abolitionist.

44. Bobby you haven't heard of Drew Peterson, or the little cheerleaders that beat the crap out of that poor girl in Florida? The truth is that crime is multi cultural. Who would have thought an asian kid would kill more people at a school in the history of this country? Whites committ crimes too. Trailor parks are full of stories of incest, child molesting, and alcholism fueled domestic violence. Just one more thing Polygamy in Texas! Stop spewing racist comments because I can match you crime for crime about whites in this country.
