KRS-One has published a 600-page Gospel of Hip-Hop dedicated to the "spirituality" and "divinity" of hip-hop culture. He believes that in 100 years his book, which took him 10 years to write, will become a new sacred book like the Bible and The Holy Qur’an.
When it comes to hip-hop, KRS-One has always thought big. "I am not just doing hip-hop," he said, "I am hip-hop." But with his new book, tries to bring the cosmic philosophies to the new culture, Hip hop. The Gospel of Hip-hop sets its sights on the meaning of life.
The Old Testament has been around for about four millennia now. The New Testament is not ‘new’ either, it has been around for almost 2000 years old. The Qur'an on the other side has been around for almost 1400 years now. And now KRS tries to bring another new religion to the world, The First Instrument, which takes Hip-Hop to another new aspect/dimension of Spirituality and divine intervention.
