Hip-Hop veteran KRS-One is offering his 13th album for free download on his website, Templeofhiphop.org.

Registered members are downloading the album and some have called it some of the rapper's best material to date.

KRS is preparing for this year's "Hiphop Appreciated Week." The appreciation week is the 9th article of the Temple Of Hip-Hop's Declaration of Peace.

"Hiphop Appreciation Week" runs May 16th-23rd. Hip-Hop followers across the globe are urged to remember "its ancestors and appreciate the elements, principles and history of Hiphop."

The concept of faith pertaining to HipHop is defined by KRS' "Gospel of Hiphop."

"Those that live by faith need not an abundance of anything. They always have exactly what they need exactly when they need it. Never too soon, never too late, never too much and never too little, the faithful always have enough! For faith and the knowing that comes from righteous living eliminates fear and doubt. And likewise, fear and doubt caused by ignorance and unrighteous living eliminates faith. Choose right now which of the two you shall serve—fear or faith, doubting or knowing!"

Go get this... it's great...

Also, I don't have a direct link right now, but this article came from allhiphop.com. I just got this in my email alerts from them, so I decided to pass it along...

Kick ass. KRS One Rocks.

Yeah, and if anyone disrespects and shits on his music, you can just shut the hell up. He's one of the most intelligent hip hop artists in the world, and he's worked with great artists and inspired some of the greatest music ever...

But also Undeath he is ignorant and denounces a lot of music that is still a part of teh hip hop culture.

I don't like KRS1. His latest efforts have been garbage and his earlier work is classic.

But his ego is too big even for him.
