"The Gospel of Hip Hop: First Instrument," the first book from the
"I Am Hip Hop," is the philosophical masterwork of KRS ONE. Set in
the format of the Christian Bible, this 800-plus-page opus is a
life-guide manual for members of Hip Hop Kulture that combines
classic philosophy with faith and practical knowledge for a
fascinating, in-depth exploration of Hip Hop as a life path. Known
as "The Teacha," KRS ONE developed his unique outlook as a homeless
teen in Brooklyn, New York, engaging his philosophy of
self-creation to become one of the most respected emcees in Hip Hop
history. Respected as Hip Hop's true steward, KRS ONE painstakingly
details the development of the culture and the ways in which we, as
"Hiphoppas," can and should preserve its future.
"The Teacha" also discusses the origination of Hip Hop Kulture and
relays specific instances in history wherein one can discover the
same spirit and ideas that are at the core of Hip Hop's current
manifestation. He explains Hip Hop down to the actual meaning and
linguistic history of the words "hip" and "hop," and describes the
ways in which "Hiphoppas" can change their current circumstances to
create a future that incorporates Health, Love, Awareness, and
Wealth (H-LAW).
Committed to fervently promoting self-reliance, dedicated study,
peace, unity, and truth, The "Teacha" has drawn both criticism and
worship from within and from outside of Hip Hop Kulture. In this
beautifully written, inspiring book, KRS ONE shines the light of
truth, from his own empirical research over a 14-year period, into
the fascinating world of Hip Hop.
