KRS is not Jamaican ! same with smith and wesson , same with a tribe called quest , Rappers would and upto this day promote their west indian heritage , esp if it is Jamaican , and it is because of the link Jamaican rappers have always promoted as being an essential part of rap or maybe its just a love for the musical culture or the culture.
Having a linguistic barb to that effect was /is common in a verse or two.But it speaks to your error in stating rappers were ashamed or hiding their Jamaican links, would not KRS 1 hide it , if he were Jamaican?

The bridge is over went to # 1 in NY when he rebutted MC marley Marl for lying that hip hop began in Queens bridge , he sampled Super cat boops , which is a ska sampled song from the Ethiopians "train to skaville" , interesting about KRS 1 , is he also sampled Don drummond man in the street to do " edutainment "
