KRS-One, What's the Frequency?

The rapper they call "The Teacher" knows the medium is the message

A A A Comments By Danielle Hollomon Thursday, May 29 1997

...continued from page 3

NT: Are you looking forward to coming to Phoenix?
KRS-One: I am looking so forward to coming to Phoenix and representing with the real hip-hop community. I know a lot of people are out in Phoenix and getting these wishy-washy shows coming to town, with people spending their money and artists doing 15 minutes and getting offstage. Phoenix is about to see a veteran. You are about to see something you have never seen before in your life. We are about to bring it to Phoenix's back. When you leave there, you are supposed to feel proud to be a part of the hip-hop culture and a part of the hip-hop nation. And all we ask is that you come in peace. You come prepared to be a part of a unified culture and let me take you from 1986 to 1997, and we can get it on for real. That's that!
