KRS-ONE on Cavuto today (once said he cheered 911)
Posted on 06/04/2007 2:07:44 PM PDT by james500
Cavuto had KRS-ONE on for a segment that was basically an infomercial for KRS-ONE's new business venture: a premium rap video cable channel to compete with BET.
I don't think Cavuto should be helping this guy get rich like RCA.

KRS-One has ignited controversy with his comments as a panelist at The New Yorker Festival on October 2nd, claiming that he and other African-Americans "cheered when 9/11 happened . . . I say that proudly." As reported in the New York Daily News and confirmed by a New Yorker spokeswoman, the rapper explained his views by saying that prior to the attack World Trade Center security guards prevented black people from entering "because of the way we talk and dress. So when the planes hit the building, we were like, 'Mmmm -- justice.' [9/11] doesn't affect us. 9/11 happened to them, not us. The rich . . . those who are oppressing us. RCA or BMG, Universal, the radio stations."

a premium rap video cable channel to compete with BET. Great business model. I can't imagine why he's the only one to have thought of plugging in to that golden all-day-rap-listener demographic. Absolutely dripping with disposable bling-bling. He'll make a killing.

WRONG! That was a dumpster, NOT the backseat of a car. And a man's simple, humble origin has nothing to do with how he conducts his life.
This bottom feeding shoe scraping is a gigantic, but colorfully flaming asshole of the first water and deserves to hold that honor all on his own, without blaming it on his crack head Momma and the scabby transient, guilty of fathering him.
