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 »

Yeah, whoo! Aiyyo Will? 

Whassup Kenny? 

I got a serious problem man 

What's the problem? 

Yo after all these years of rippin' shit 

These suckers still try to front! 

But check this out we've been on tour 

with everybody so I don't know why they frontin '

Everybody! 

y'all be in every party I be in every jam 

I see they faces and they look at me and front 

They come to every show and know we 

break shit up all the time 

You know what, yo Kris, what's your opinion? 

 

Yo, I love the way I am and can't nobody out here change me 

Rearrange me, tame me, try to game me, you don't play me 

When I grab the mic then SHOCK the party spot 

Your rhymes are flip-flop, I'll rock, hip-hop 

Non-stop, me nah stop rock 

You CAN touch this, but you'll get shot 

Now what's this all about? Kris and humanity 

In my face you're happy, on vinyl you're mad at me 

Yo, pro-blackness is your solution 

But I don't really know about that style you using yo 

Too many Teachers in the class spoil the class 

After awhile you got blabbering fucking fools 

That's worse than always talking about sex, let's build 

It ain't enough to study Clarence 13X 

The white man ain't the devil I promise 

You want to see the devil take a look at Clarence Thomas 

Now you're saying, "Who?" like you a owl 

Throw in the towel, the devil is Colin Powell 

You talk about being African and being black 

Colin Powell's black, but Libya he'll attack 

Libya's in Africa, but a black man 

will lead a black man, to fight against his homeland 

An accomplice to the devil is a devil too 

The devil is anti-human, who the hell are you? 

I lecture and rap without rehearsal 

I manifest as a black man but I'm universal 

The capital K, small R-S 

Capital P, small A-R, capital K, small E-R 

We are, the star 

Without the use of a car we go far 

I build and destroy! 

Yeah Kris, serve em man, serve em! 

Yo why are they so jealous of BDP? 

I don't know Will, yo don't get mad, get fresh man! 

Word 

Don't ever try to challenge BDP! 

just shut the f*ck up and listen! 

This shit is crazy! Your remarks don't faze me! 

People have a problem with me, cause I ain't lazy 

I talk on vinyl then I act 

What have you done, besides critique KRS-One? 

I create organizations 

Without organization, there'll be no black nation 

What the f*ck are you really saying? 

You ain't a human while your music's boomin' anti-human 

I'm assumin' if you ain't human you're a beast 

The white man could be the devil all the day, that's the least 

What are you doing for yourself black man? 

Trying hard to be the original man, who? 

The first man, with the first tan, on the first land 

with the first clan, who gives a damn?

In history KRS is WELL advised 

But it's something that my brain won't memorize 

I don't base my whole life on memory 

I base my life on my spirit and body chemistry 

Africa is the home of humanity 

Which makes the African a humanist, challenge me 

You gotta learn not to be so concerned 

with the original man, and see the criminal man, yeah! 

The now man, with the now plan, with the now tan 

with the right now genocide master plan 

Damn! We gotta think about stopping this 

God is not any black man on the land; God is consciousness 

When you understand this you'll see Kris 

Until then, you can get dissed 

I'm not your prophet, messiah, minister, or savior 

Chill with that ill behavior 

I zero in like a laser 

You're cuttin' your wrists with a razor 

I got all type of flavors 

Yes I am the original teacher 

You gotta study the Qu'ran, Torah, Bahavaghita 

The Bible, Five Baskets of Buddha Zen 

And when you've read them shits, READ them shits again! 

But watch what you're repeatin' 

If you don't know the history of the author 

you don't know what you're reading! 

Yeah I'm still the original 

Leaving MC's lyrically miserable 

Their criminal syllables are minimal, show me respect BOY 

Cause I build and destroy! 
Now.. after all that 

if anybody out there STILL got beef, check it out 

We rip the lecture tours, we rip the beats 

we rip the jams, we'll straight up rip that ass 

know what I'm sayin' Will? 

Word! 

Yeah it seems they all forgot 

On the mic you'll get fucked up 

In the clubs you'll get fucked up 

Anywhere Bronx Brooklyn Queens Manhattan 

Jersey Japan Staten Isle.. yo anywhere you'll get fucked up 

Don't you know we live for the battle? 

I'm outta here 

Yo cut that beat off
