Boogie Down Productions

Boogie Down Productions was a hip hop group that was originally composed of KRS-One, D-Nice, and DJ Scott La Rock. DJ Scott La Rock was murdered on August 27, 1987, months after the release of BDP's debut album, Criminal Minded. The name of the group, Boogie Down, derives from a nickname for the South Bronx section of The Bronx, one of the five boroughs of New York City. The group pioneered the fusion of dancehall reggae and hip hop music and their debut LP Criminal Minded contained frank descriptions of life in the South Bronx of the late 1980s thus setting the stage for what would eventually become gangsta rap. more »

[Ms. Melodie] 
Extra extra  read all about it! 
KRS One's rhymes  have been doubted 
Suckers stepped up  and got MURDERED!! 
[KRS One] 
Pump pump pom pom POING! 
Yo  this goes out  to George Bush 
Get off my... diggi diggi diggi dick  diggi diggi diggi dick 
Diggi diggi diggi dick... Margaret Thatcher 
Get off my... diggi diggi diggi dick  diggi diggi diggi dick 
Diggi diggi diggi dick... Bensonhurst 
Get off my... diggi-diggi-diggi-dick, diggi-diggi-diggi-dick 
Diggi-diggi-diggi-dick... De Klerk 
Get off my... diggi-diggi-diggi-dick, diggi-diggi-diggi-dick 
Diggi-diggi-diggi-dick 
It feels good to grab the mic and just allow yourself to chat 
The master of the microphone is here and he's black 
Recitin poetry, beautifully articulated 
Demonstrated by the never faded strong facial feature 
of the teacher, I am the teacher, you can check it 
The styles they're doing, is from my old record 
They bought my album, for $8.99 
Studied the style, then wrote they own rhyme 
I don't mind because I'm here to show 
The lost MC's which way to go 
So here's my rep, to those that slept 
And didn't get the first concept in depth 
I am the manifestation of study 
NOT, the manifestation of money 
Therefore I advance through thought 
Not what's manufactured and bought 
Concentration, and calculation 
Goes into every song creation 
The first and second album rocked you 
Third album made you think and got through 
Didn't you think I knew? 
Number three, wasn't for the dance crew 
But it gave me a chance to see 
Who was REALLY down with BDP 
I set the warm milk, in the glass 
And the snakes came out the grass 
They don't realize I'm not confined 
Nor trapped by space and time 
I am a rebel, an overthrower 
Descendant of the black man Noah 
Radio DJ's, all around 
Constantly tell me how they are down 
To uplift Africa and unite black 
Yet they fronted when I dropped _Why Is That?_ 
It's a fact, I don't beg for juice, I just get loose 
And demonstrate the truth 
Many MC's can only rock the many 
But I rock a few with my brother Kenny 
>From twenty-thousand to ten I'm housin 
African culture is what I'm arousin 
In your consciousness, soul and body 
Pay attention while I rock the party 
Cause now I'm gonna show ya how the East Coast rocks 
Bumpin sucker MC's out the box 
Rockin the dreadlocks and the flattops 
I like these ops, so I'll try not to stop, but drop 
The new hip-hop, and get props 
Scott La, Scott La, Scott La, Scott LaRock 
Spins in heaven, while the earth I rock 
MC's adopt, the styles I drop 
They got no direction, they got no direction, they got no direction 
So they want to go pop 
Chasin the charts up and down like suckers 
Totally ignoring their sisters and brothers 
They're the ones to say you're number one 
Not chart position, so pick up the drum and hum 
Sing along, it's a poetry session 
Mathematically applied, no guessin 
I'm fresh and dope and wild and wicked 
get your ticket, come straight to the jam I'll rip it 
Original lyrics, original lyrics, original lyrics, Kenny Parker on the 
mix! 
[Special K] 
Yes yes I'm Special K 
On New York's Two show on WBDP 
This is the brand new one by KRS-One of Boogie Down Productions 
And it's off the Edutainment LP 
want to send a shout out to the BDP Posse 
Of course to Teddy Ted, Nice and Smooth, D-Nice, D-Square 
And my man Fish, Sidney Mills, Ms. Melodie, Willie D 
And of course me... seeya!
