The true word of God is written in our heart.
KRS-One
Believers of Jesus be denouncing Satan on every level, But every Halloween they're dressin' like devils.
KRS-One
I'm not an executive. I can do it, I have the mind for it, but there's a life that you have to lead, and you have to give up your creative freedom. That's what I don't want to give up.

If you're true to the upliftment of people and the unity of people, raising the self-worth of people, then you live within your means. But the problem is that we're looking at the grass on the other side, saying, That's greener. I want to be in the thug market, but I want to be a conscious rap artist. It doesn't work like that.

Trust in God, that's where the crown is at. It's not in what you get, it's what happens after that.

Rap is still an art, and no-one's from the Old School Cuz rap is still a brand-new tool

The courage to be yourself is the essence of hip hop

I make intelligence cool. I make spirituality cool. If we can make one's devotion to God cool, then I think I did a great thing. I can rest in peace.

Are you tired of lyrical liars, passing fliers, Wannabe MC's, but really good triers, Tripping over mic cords, getting you bored, A total fraud, this kind of thing I can't afford!

Kings lose crowns but teachers stay intelligent

I told Wayne to his face he was the dopest MC out. MC, not rapper. I told him to his face because I believe that, Wayne is nice! Wayne is bananas with his lyrics, with his whole delivery, with his whole thing. Lil Wayne is the man!

Hip-hoppers are not interpreting what hip-hop is, and when we do interpret it, we interpret it as something immature, unorganized, and outlaw.
KRS-One
Hip-Hop is being spoken through spirituality... Meaning that you'll be able to listen to it spiritually for yourself.
KRS-One
Teach the student what needs to be taught. 'Cause black and white kids both take shorts When one doesn't know about the other one's culture, Ignorance swoops down like a vulture.
KRS-One
I am the manifestation of study, NOT the manifestation of money. Therefore, I advance through thought, NOT what's manufactured and bought.

Deepak Chopra, look at him. He's probably the most successful self-help guru in the world. I don't think he's struggling for any marketing or exposure. You've just got to know where your audience is.
KRS-One
If I were to critique myself - step out of KRS objectively and look at him - I would say that KRS has introduced the concept of being hip-hop, not just doing it. The concept of rap as something we do, while hip-hop is something we live. The concept of living a culture. Don't just look at hip-hop as rap music, see it as a culture.
KRS-One
There's a Universe Instrument, where we apply Hip-Hop to astronomy, and we flush out the chemistry of Hip-Hop. We also flushed out the astronomy, to see where Hip-Hop is read in the stars.

Rebel, renegade, must stay paid.

Too many MC's take that word 'emcee' lightly They can't Move a Crowd, not even slightly.
