Has an on-going battle with Nelly over what real hip-hop is.
The name "KRS-One" stands for Knowledge Reigns Supreme Over Nearly
Everyone.
Provided backing vocals to REM's "Radio Song" from the album "Out of Time.".
Was homeless from the ages of 13 to 20.
He was nicknamed "Krishna" as a youth because he enjoyed discussing
philosophy with Hare Krishnas who gave out food near the homeless
shelter he was living in. He sometimes claims "Krishna" as his legal
middle name.
Krs-One's first album with a parental advisory was A Retrospective in 2000, but was not the first album to have profanity in it.
