Boogie Down Productions - By All Means Necessary

Boogie Down Productions - By All Means Necessary


That's why I love KRS ONE. "Criminal Minded" already caused such a great change in hip hop. His second album is as influential if not more. After seeing what actually "Criminal Minded" had done, he decides to lead a new movement - to stop the violence in hip hop. This style I love the most - he starts his philosophies, and actually sets off conscioussness in rap.

Boogie Down Productions - Criminal Minded (Deluxe Edition)

Takin you waaaay back. If it wasn't for this album, your favorite gangsta rapper would either be in jail or dead. Besides that this album caused one of the greatest beefs in hip hop history: KRS-ONE vs. MC Shan. A must have. On the deluxe edition apart from dope remixes and songs you get interviews with gangsta rap icons talking about this classic.
