KRS-One has always been sort of an arrogant prick to me. BUT, no one embodies the negative and positive in hip-hop more than Kris Parker. He is what hip-hop is truly all about. And that's why I have mad respect for this dude. He is the living, breathing dichotomy of what Hip-Hop and Hip-Hop MUSIC is and what it was intended to be. And the fact that he is STILL one of the dopest MC's around and has been since he stepped on the scene, only bolsters his position and stature. If there was ever of President of the Hip-Hop Nation, he is it.
