This album is THE definition of hip-hop. The appex, the pinnacle and one of the most important albums of the boom-bap era. KRS-ONE's Return of the Boom Bap is his first effort as a "solo" artist. With such legendary producers such as DJ Premiere, Showbiz and Kid Capri on board, this album top to bottom is a classic. Since it was released on Jive Records in 1993, Return of the Boom-Bap has been regarded by fans of the Golden Era as a top 10 all-time great. It has garnered accolades from Rolling Stone to The Source with high critical marks.
Besides Primo's ridiculous production, Kris Parker's delivery and lyrical athleticim are showcased in nearly every track. Cuts like "Black Cop" "Sound of da Police "and "P is till free" not only standout from an artistic standpoint, but more than anything they tell the tale of racism, police brutality, drugs and everyday hardships in a way to does not glorify them. KRS's lyrical gift is not only entertaining but serve the purpose of educating. Knowledge Rules Supreme Overly Nearly Everybody!!!
Zo's rating 5 out of 5 mics
