audio review : Sex And Violence ( album ) … Boogie Down Productions

Sex And Violence ( album ) ... Boogie Down Productions

Don’t be fooled by the title. KRS-One is still The Teacha, but Edutainment doesn’t sell. Rap fans want Sex And Violence, so Build And Destroy has him responding to the racial criticisms of Brother J by telling him he’ll get “fucked up” while the minor on 13 And Good gets fucked. The album is raw and sloppy compared to other Boogie Down productions; why isn’t the “rock-and-roll” bit on the title song; but it’s still fresh… “for 1992, you suckas!”

my rating : 4 of 5

video review : Locke

Ivan Locke is a concrete foreman, husband and father who needs to get his priorities in order. The whole movie consists of him driving his BMW, talking to people via Bluetooth and those conversations drive the narrative interestingly enough. It’s his reason for the trip under the circumstances presented that border absurdity.
