  1. @slevelt

    Been relistening to Willie's discography since he died last week, great to also hear this track that samples him.

    (Even if both Willie & KRS-One got... problematic later in life. I wish someone had "soundbombed" KRS's performance for Eric Adams by playing "Black Cop" over a huge sound system.)

  2. Boogie Down Productions, By All Means Necessary, 1988 on Jive

    Second album from KRS-One under the Boogie Down Productions moniker, after the 1987 killing of Scott La Rock. Arguably the birth of socially conscious hip-hop, undeniably a key album in it.

    So, you’re a philosopher?

    Yes, I think very deeply

    In about four seconds, a teacher will begin to speak

    Let us begin, what, where, why or when

    Will all be explained like instructions to a game

    Did not know in listening to this back in ’88 that all these years later I’d be vegan and KRS-One would be 60 years old.

    My copy is the 2024 Vinyl Me, Please reissue on 180g orange vinyl, with listening notes by Elijah Watson. Sounds great and has solid packaging – I hope VMP’s return under new ownership can keep the quality high.

  3. KRS-One’s keen street smarts, lyrical prowess, and superlative flow, as well as his knack for blending a catchy rhythm with hard-hitting observations, make “Uh Oh” a standout track that is as entertaining as it is insightful.

    Take the Power Back - #RATM

    After #ChollaHighMagnetSchool teachers used this song in a #MexicanAmerican history class, Superintendent John Huppenthal issued a “notice of noncompliance” to the #Tucson Unified School District. So in January 2015, over 20 years after the song was released, #RageAgainstTheMachine’s #lyrics–along with #KRSOne’s #HipHop teachings– were deemed to be against #Arizona state law, which states that schools cannot “advocate ethnic solidarity instead of the treatment of pupils as individuals.”
