[illosinob]

when Geithner ran for treasury office he honestly said

"don't be suspicious, my interest isn't conflicted, honest to death"

a fear mongered congress nodded their heads

and let another dishonest con artist hop into bed

with washington, main street lost again

@TheTrakkOursoniss Krs writes a new album every three months, and releases one almost each year :) "Back to the L.A.B." is his 2010 one.

[dagreatcapri82]

A man of true words and great wisdom!

[TheTrakkOursoniss]

i love how krs stays completely unknown to mainstream media and sells his stuff to the underground/old school heads, then pops out of nowhere for these award shows. like anybody watchin BET awards even knows who he is. his mistake is that he's a deep-thinking philosopher talking to a shallow-minded audience. all they know is money, money, money. but i dont mean to sound like i'm dissin if i do. word up to the blastmaster. i wonder if theirs an album in the works...?

[mjscarousal]

I love this man he speaks the truth. This is the reason why I dont watch award shows anymore. Its not an accurate representation of good music. They award artists who SELL and who are POPULAR not artists who put out good quality music for the people. Music whether it hip hop, soul, funk etc is about expression and speaking to you and when that is lost what is left? A beat? Nothing. I think its sad how much popular music has changed especially rap. Hip Hop is underground now.
