Today is a rather auspicious day in music history:
- Led Zeppelin‘s Robert Plant turns 74
- Isaac Hayes was born 80 years ago today.
KRS One, one of the greatest emcees to ever spit truth to any and all comers turns 57 — 57! — today. KRS One’s influence and importance to hip-hop is immense and towering. Simply put, if you don’t know KRS One, you don’t fucking know hip-hop at all.
Happy birthday, brother! May there be many, many more!
