Ruminations

KRS-One, a.k.a. Kris Parker, is undoubtedly one of the most important and influential pioneers of hip-hop, and his ascent from homeless street kid to rap revolutionary to acclaimed lecturer and intellectual is the stuff of legend. In Ruminations, Parker's first collection of writings, he reflects on his musical and spiritual roots, the evolution of hip-hop culture, the music industry, and the most important social and political challenges facing today's Americans, black and white.
