Continuing on the BDP tip, this promo single was released in 1988. "My Philosophy" is from the Boogie Down Production album "By All Means Necessary" also released in 1988. On this 12 inch you get 3 different versions of "My Philosophy"; the Album Mix, an Extended Remix & then the Single Edit -- you also get the Instrumental. In all honesty there isn`t much difference between the 3 versions, a few slight variations & that`s about it...
The Extended Remix is obviously a lil` longer than the Album Mix while the Single Edit has KRS spittin` acapella towards the end of the track because the beat fades out before he`s finished spittin`. Regardless the track is straight CLaSSiC so just take your pick between the 3 versions. What`s DoPe about the lyrics that KRS-One spits is that even though ish was done way back in 1988 they`re still relevant today. Just check these couple of lines...
"Rap is like a setup, a lot of games, a lot of suckas with colorful names
The way some act in Rap is kinda wack & it lacks creativity & intelligence
But they don`t care because they company`s selling it..."
Definitely a 12 inch for the real fans of Hip Hop, check out the video for some good ol` retro ish...
