KRS-One’s real name is Laurence Krisna Parker, or simply Kris Parker; some accounts hold that he was born with the “Krisna” moniker, while others suggest it was a nickname given to him during his youth for his interest in spirituality. Born in Brooklyn’s Park Slope area in 1965, his Trinidad-born father was deported not long after his birth, and he later adopted his stepfather’s last name of Parker. Early in his teens, he dropped out of high school and left home, migrating to the South Bronx; although he survived mostly on the streets and in homeless shelters, he continued his education by studying extensively in public libraries. During this period, he became interested in hip-hop culture, writing his own raps and tagging graffiti under the name KRS-One (originally an abbreviation for “Kris Number One” but later turned into the acronym “Knowledge Reigns Supreme Over Nearly Everyone”). At 19, he spent a brief time in jail for selling marijuana; after his release, he met social worker Scott Sterling at a Bronx shelter in 1985. Sterling was also a DJ who performed under the name Scott La Rock, and when the two became friends, they decided to form a rap group, which they called Boogie Down Productions.

"The most solid advice … for a writer is this, I think: Try to learn to breathe deeply, really to taste food when you eat, and when you sleep, really to sleep. Try as much as possible to be wholly alive, with all your might, and when you laugh, laugh like hell, and when you get angry, get good and angry. Try to be alive. You will be dead soon enough."

Some of the most excellent advice we’ve heard in a long time!

Tattooed lady,

note to self.
It doesn’t matter if you quit Facebook, the Internet will keep you on it like you are Tiger Woods on white women. ( I understand Tiger Woods analogies might be getting old to some, but 1. I have only 12 followers 2. its a great analogy.) The Internet is a hell of a drug.

SHEILA: Well, behind every joke there’s some truth.
JERRY: What about that Bavarian cream pie joke I told you? There’s no truth to that. Nobody with a terminal illness goes from the United States to Europe for a piece of Bavarian cream pie and then when they get there and they don’t have it he says ” Aw, I’ll just have some coffee.” There’s no truth to that?
SHEILA: Well, I guess you’re right.(via The Soup Nazi)
