The Gospel of Hip Hop: The First Instrument QUOTES

1 " This is how many today treat GOD and Hip Hop. They seek the hand and not the face. They seek the luxury but not the culture, the food but not the appetite, the house but not the home, the medicine but not the health, the bed but not the rest. They would rather use GOD/Hip Hop than live GOD/Hip Hop. "

― KRS-One , The Gospel of Hip Hop: The First Instrument

2 " The universe thinks and responds to your thinking, and this is the essence of what Hip Hop is for us; it is our relationship with divinity. Hip Hop is what we are doing with our portion of GOD. "

― KRS-One , The Gospel of Hip Hop: The First Instrument

3 " At its core, Hip Hop is not just an art form; it is the pursuit of one’s authentic being through the Arts. "

4 " Hip Hop is GOD’s response to our suffering and this gospel celebrates that response and the personal character that caused such divine responses to occur. "

5 " But as for us, as for our group commonly known in the World as “Hip Hop,” this gospel acknowledges and celebrates the Love that has saved OUR people from self-destruction. It is time to repent and grow up! Rapping about crime and murder may sound good amongst those who have never committed such acts, but for those of us who are REAL IN THE FIELD, we send this message to our young people—YOU DON’T REALLY WANT IT!
