It's Edutainment!

Kris Parker ... The Blastmaster ... The Teacha ... half of Boogie Down Productions ... KRS-One

KRS-One is bringing his lesson plans to Cleveland. How awesome is that? Yeah, get ready to learn a little, groove a little and have a good time and only in a way that KRS can maneuver.

So, he is set to rock the Beachland Ballroom on Sunday, September 23, 2007. Is that the day before The Roots do it up at the HOB? Yes, indeed ... yes, indeed. This dynamic dosage of hip hop is fatal. Not everyone will be able to digest it ... but if you have to miss it for any official, emergency family-type business, you will not forgive yourself (or your relatives).

Doors open: 6 p.m.

Showtime: 7 p.m.

Tix are $22 in advance and $25 the day of the show (DOS)

KRS-One has often referenced hip hop as a form of edutainment: it is meant to educate as well as entertain. I'm signing up for that ...
