Sex & Violence appreciation (BDPR)

Last time I went back to my folks place I pulled this album out of the archive because I wanted to remind myself what it was like. So last night I fired up the gas stove and cooked while listening to this album all the way through, and I have to say, in the spirit of recently popularised terminology, I RIDE 4 THIS record HARD. The production is really tough, IMO. KRS's rhymes probably aren't the best of his career, but I gotta say I enjoyed almost every track on this record. Anyone else feeling this record?

    I just did a top 5 KRS or BDP with some of the homies....

    Ruff Ruff is one of my favorites...

    I'll admit it: I kinda hatted on this album (except for "Duck Down") when it first came out. One of my friends in college convinced me to revisit it, and I was on some shit. Nowadays, it very closely competes for Best BDP Album honors. Love it.

    I likes.

    He doesn't even seem like the same person these days, but back in the day he was pretty unfucwkitable. He's rocking a hat, t-shirt, and plain sunglasses in that video and shit is

    I always slept on this album too. I think partially because of the album artwork.

    This is a psychologically, historically, and spiritually ill album. Cover art couldn't have been worse though.

    Useless info: The concert footage in "we in there" video was shot at the Roskilde Festival in Denmark.

    Maggie I wish that vid used the Ali Shaheed remix track! So dope...

    This is another great record from the 90s that was only released on scarce promo vinyl.

    I've got a copy, but it's a tough one. This record got kind of dissed when it came out, but I always thought it was dope.

    I was just talking with one of my best friends last week about that album,and how underrated it was.

    That one,"Return Of The Boom Bap" and the self titled release(also a little underrated) from 1995,have been in heavy rotation lately.

    From memory that's the only track that really done it for me. Ain't listened to it for years perhaps it's time to dig it out then...

    cool memory about checking a flick with him too.
