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 Hops 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 Hops 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.

What a valuable resource! Along with having a chapter about each of the genres of scripts I wanted to cover in class; the book also had chapters on foundational skills; such as writing for sight. As I told the students multiple times during the semester; this book was definitely worth the price. I suggested they keep it as a reference work rather than trying to get a few bucks by re-selling it.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
