KRS-One shouts out wrong Beastie Boy in Song dedicated to dead rappers

[Bernard Goetz]

Jay Z also mixed up the two when talking about filling in for the Beasties in his Decoded book. wtf

In 2008 I headlined at another big rock festival, the All Points West show in New York. Unlike Glastonbury, there wasn’t any real controversy. I wasn’t even supposed to be on the bill. I was filling in at the last minute for the original headliners, the Beastie Boys, because Ad Rock, one of the Boys, had to drop out for cancer treatments. In their honor, I opened my show with a cover of their classic Brooklyn anthem, “No Sleep Till Brooklyn.”

I always maintained krs-1 was a fraud and didn't know shit about hip hop. I now rest my case.

What made you think that in the first place? His music, or was it something he used to say?

He can be pretentious and snobbish about Hip Hop but I think he knows plenty about it. And the explanation for the mess up is almost decent (rushing through it and releasing it without thinking about it) and most importantly he's fixing it (and released a lengthy apology).

FOH. KRS is hip hop. You can be mad about him mixing up Adrock with MCA all you want but you can't discredit what KRS has done for hip hop culture.
