    He didn't mean physical suicide, Glenn. Ever heard of symbolism?

    For how much of a hip-hop legend this guy is, I dont even know the fool. He was honored in VH1'S "Hip Hop Honors" and I don't even know one song he wrote.

    If he supported 9/11 he should move out of the country to where people will actually support his misguided and ignorant views.

    I hope his reputation is tarnished after that comment. He'll never stack up against TRUE hip-hop legends and innovators like Run DMC, The Beastie Boys and 2Pac.

    Tell me one song that this clown made. I'm having a lot of trouble figuring it out.

    And the lesson here is never trust what the media has to say. Damn bastards only care about themselves, and I highly doubt they (the media) actually gave one when the towers went down.

    They probably thought "Well, it looks like we'll be in business a little bit longer then".

    Yeah I think that was too extreme! A bit cynical and ignorant for him to say that.

    As for America has to commit suicide to make the world a better place...it wouldn't matter because another group of elites and another country will control people and have all the power.

    Very misguided, in a way as destructive as Bush.... :unsure:

    That's a really interesting point of view... I can see their thought process behind it. Though maybe considered extreme.

    I know what you mean about what the guy was thinking, but I think he took it a bit too far.

    I believe KRS One is/was Canadian? I dunno but he did some stuff with the Rascalz and those guys are really bright when it comes to looking at the world, great vibes and great messages, KRS One sounds too ignorant to me:

    "Yo survival of the fittest, to survive you need dough
    But once you got dough, got to maintain a steady flow
    And let it grow you know, add another zero
    Yo from down in the ghetto, we bust through the door
    Now accustomed to things, you wasn't before
    Money showed you power you never felt when poor
    To say money bring power, power with corruption
    'Til corrupted to the point paralleled to destruction
    Disgusted, mind full of lusting
    Got mixed priorities, family love first thing
    Praises due for life, from one morning
    Because tomorrow's a site, not a guaranteed thing
    So live to the fullest, make your moves to win
    Cherish your brethren, nourish and love the children
    Throw them positive, negative will kill them
    Drafted to war for arrogant wicked men
    But it's all unity, one world community
    To divide is the recipe for our tragedy
    So adequately you get yours I get mine
    Take nothing for granted and walk a righteous line"

    - Rascalz "Priceless"

    Nope. Bronx, NY native. Do you mean K-Os?

    edit: Kris is far from ignorant. I assume it's everyone else that is ignorant to what he knows, has seen and experienced.
