CRIMINAL MINDED by BOOGIE DOWN PRODUCTIONS

Repress of a hard hiphop classic

In listing the greatest albums in hip-hop history, one title never seems to stray from the upper echelons, no matter how many years pass: Boogie Down Productions's undisputed classic from 1986, Criminal Minded. Released amidst a battle between BDP and MC Shan that would redefine the New York rap landscape as it was then known, the album, which features the songs ' South Bronx, ' Criminal
Minded' and ' The Bridge is Over', captures the excitement, urgency and raw power that embodies hip-hop culture as we know it, with KRS-One' s aggressive yet intelligent lyricism backed by Scott La Rock' s hard-hitting, stripped-down beats. A true
classic, Criminal Minded has been recognized by Vibe Magazine, The Source and Rolling Stone as one of the most important albums of all time.
