audio review : The BDP Album ( album ) ... KRS-One

The title makes no sense. Even if it were Another BDP Album, that wouldn’t be the case unless the posse is down to just KRS-One and Kenny Parker, which I guess wouldn’t come as a surprise considering that, according to 1992’s Sex And Violence, the group was down to just those two members and Willie D. But why not credit Boogie Down Productions as the artists of this album and give it a different title?

Then again, what does it matter? BDP albums were KRS-One solo albums anyway. The difference now is that, while his trademark rap skills are still there; the veteran MC rarely disappoints; his albums are no longer “fresh”… for 2012, 2011 or any other year within the past decade or so. This, an amateurish set that comes across as a Kenny Parker mixtape of KRS-One demo songs, is easily one of his worst.
