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 »

Again we start  let me say my part 
About the only guy who has some heart 
It took some time for the heart to come 
But it's HERE  and everybody's in fear 
Crashin through the door of that WHORE 
Bringin a end to this gold chain WAR 
What you saw  KRS One is now seeing 
Another fly human being 
Making, no excuses for the losers 
Chain-snatchers, pimps, drug abusers 
You don't like it but you gotta keep PUSHIN 
Until somebody starts MUSHIN 
All these suckers, claimin to rule the environment 
(Nah man, I ain't buyin it) 
You seem to think that everybody can be taught 
That everyone else can be bought 
But, you took a short, cause one guy hasn't been paid 
He is the Jack of Spades! 

He's a, calm kind of guy, courageous and loyal 
But don't let the temper boil 
Cause just like a pot when the whistle blows 
(That's right boy, anything goes!) 
The crime is committed and he's right on your tail 
There's no bail, not thinkin bout jail 
All the ends, are justified by the means 
When Jack's on the scene 
Track the movement, don't lose it 
Cause if he come through the back, he ATTACKS 
CRACK, cocaine, cops, and more fiends 
Who all get the same in the heat of this gold chain GAME 
Here is the aim 
Destroy all the stereotypes, hypes, and crack pipes 
We don't like, criminals, and crime 
But we don't pay it any mind 
So here comes Kung-Fu, Joe, and Fly Guy 
Slade, Hammer, and Slammer 
I, am a, renegade teacher and scholar 
If you ain't up on it you GOTTA 
Fall to the back of the line 
Hear this rhyme, cause I'ma say it one more time 
It's JACK'S theme song that KRS made 
It's called the Jack of Spades! 

You know, the Jack of Spades is now down with the BDP Posse 
If you want to see more, just watch me 
MAN, do what I do, throw your hands in the air 
And scream it out, ohh yeah "OHH YEAHHH!!" 
One more time! "OHH YEAHHH!!" 
(Flash the rhyme!) 
Cool, guy, loud and quiet 
If your head's in the way, he'll FLY IT 
Don't try it, cause Jack of Spades doesn't BUY IT 
He's a one man riot 
Cleanin the community, of all it's debris 
The see-are-I-M-E 
The road was long and scary and some didn't make it 
The average guy couldn't take it 
But JACK, is not, the average guy 
He took a piece of the pie and BIT IT 
Got with it, for his brother he DID IT 
So you gotta admit it 
This is a martyr, a soldier, a hero 
WHY? Because he started from zero 
In this battle he clearly understands their power 
They're payin people by the hour 
To sell, to lie, to try, to stand up and deny 
They are gettin everybody HIGH 
High on a cable, cash under the table 
Currency is how they're able 
To buy the cops and props and keep the law PAID 
But here comes the Jack of Spades! 

Break it down! 

Fresh, for Jack of Spades, you SUCKERS 
Ha ha ha ha ha ha hah
