Peace. This is KRS-One! I "d like to personally thank everyone
for their show of support toward the release of the "Just Like That"
video. I "m not really a big Internet guy myself, but I had to respond to the
enormous amount of love we "ve experienced since the release of the "Just
Like That" video. MAD LION ROCKED IT! However, the best is still yet
to come.
As you may know, I often use my talents to edutain my listeners
and inspire the international Hip Hop community. 2012 will be no different.
I feel sorry for those who already think that I preach too much in rhyme,
or that I need to retire. On the contrary, I "m just getting started.
Turning the flame up a little more, my next video presentation
"Aztecnical" will deal with the myths of 2012, particularly the
December 21st 2012 Mayan Calendar "end date". Too many of our people
are being led astray by movies, lectures and hype mostly regarding the celestial
calculations of the Mayan Calendar. And while other cultures also predict
the same "end date" calculations, it is important to point out that
all cosmic alignments, shifts and even changes are occurring RIGHT NOW! The
question is, how might this affect Hip Hop worldwide? I believe we are about
to finally have our "say" in the world. The key word in the next
few upcoming months will be "courage", and true courage comes from
living rightly. As an international culture, Hip Hop is poised for a great
opportunity; my goal is to get us prepared for it, and fear has no place in
our collective future.
I am sending this "Aztecnical" video out in hopes
that it sparks discussion and dispels fears. The first verse deals with the
actual Mayan calculations themselves and shows how governments and corporate
entities of all sorts use the fears of the public to their own economic and
global advantages. The second verse deals with the conquest of Cortez over
the Mayan People and how it was the Mayans " own cultural beliefs that were
used against them to cease their lands and resources. The point being, do
not allow hype and your own view of the world to lure you into the hands of
those only out to exploit you. BE STRONG! BE COURAGOUS! And yes, Knowledge
Reigns Supreme. There It Is,Just Like That.
