KRS One - There's Only One KRS

What made me buy that BDP cassette Ghetto Music that day as a teenager I don't know, but it was a lucky moment. I knew nothing about KRS at the time, and was buying a few tapes just by their covers, or maybe having read something in the liner notes. '88 was the year for rap music for me - I discovered albums like PE's Nation of Millions, De La's 3 Feet High, Jungle Brothers Straight Out the Jungle, The Great Adventures of Slick Rick, LL's Walking with a Panther and then Ghetto Music came along and blew me away (starting this mix with the opener from that killer LP).

For me KRS remains the greatest rapper of all time: master of delivery, heavy production, conscious and righteous lyrical content, and always showing real love for music, truth and knowledge. This is a little mix of some favourites (not sure how I missed Jack of Spades out). It would've been nice to put some newer tracks in as he still makes some smashers but I don't have them on vinyl. Oh, and I'm definitely no hip-hop deejay but I had to throw in a couple of scratches in there to keep it real! Big up KRS and thank you!
