KRS-One`s "KRS-One [HeRBan DeLuXe VeRSioN]"...

After playin` the hell outta my "Return Of The Boom Bap" tape back in the day, ya best believe that I was super stoked when KRS-One dropped his self titled second solo album 9 days before my 15th birthday in 1995. I still hadn`t quite upgraded to a CD player at the time so I eventually copped the cassette thru one of those mail order tape/CD clubs, either Columbia House or BMG Music. I can`t really remember which, it`s been a long while since I`ve seen the tape, it`s still at my parents` crib in storage somewhere. I also played the fuck out of that "KRS-One" cassette, it`s a great album!!!

My only gripe with it is all them DaMn interludes in between most of the songs. I understand why they are included; either he needed an ego stroke or just wanted to show the listeners how Hip Hop he is by gettin` shout outs from many of Hip Hop`s key players. It all depends on how ya want to look at it. Either way, after hearing it once or twice you really don`t need to hear it again & again. Unfortunately for me since I had the tape the only way to skip the interludes was to hit the ol` fast forward button on my stereo`s tape deck or walkman. So once I had enough money saved up I made the upgrade & bought the CD...

Unfortu-FuCKiN-Ly you still have to skip the interludes on the CD version of the album. However it`s a little easier to do this time around, hit the skip/next track button. The interludes should have been separate tracks, but for some odd reason KRS intended for us to hear these shout outs upon every listen. Maybe it was Jive Records` choice to format the album like that, who knows for sure? Either way it`s not something that I particularly enjoy about the album! I just want to dive into the head noddin` Boom Bapp`N sounds whenever I throw it on. FuCK all these interludes!....LoL, so it was only fitting for me to put my HeRBaN DeLuXe touch on this KRS classic!!! 


With this VeRSioN I didn`t have to adjust any of the volume on the songs, they were all at a decent level. I simply separated the previously mentioned shout outs/interludes from the songs & made them individual tracks. I did boost the volume on some of the interludes because I found them to be a little on the low side, also I decided to separate the lil` 'taggin` intro' that starts before "Out For Fame" & made it it`s own track so we can get right into the song. The "Outro" was simply separated from the end of "Health, Wealth, Self". The 3 bonus tracks come from a variety of sources; the "Rappaz R. N. Dainja [Kenny Parker Mix]" comes from a 12 Inch single, "The Truth [Original Version]" comes from some untitled KRS-One compilation that I found on my hard~drive (so unfortunately I have no clue where it truly came from, see what I did there?...LoL) & the "1-2 Pass It [Stretch Armstrong Rmx]" came from one of the members on the Philaflava T.R.O.Y. forum. Essentially this is the way that the album should have been formatted, my opinion of course. Enjoy...

This right here is just a quick lil` comp` I threw together for my homie WiLLZ from New York back in probably 2017-18. Met this kool kat workin` one my first jobs as a Camerican, that`s a Canadian livin` in a America for you squares.....LoL, anyway I was always bringing these mixed CD`s of mine to work to help pass the time & he`d bug out `cuz he loved the tunes! So that`s how we got to talkin` & became homies. Eventually he asked me to put something together for him with a few requests, but the rest was up to me. All the songs he picked just so happened to be remixes so I continued the theme & this is what I came up with, enjoy...

"ARReST-PRooF YouRSeLF"....

This book right here, "Arrest-Proof Yourself" may seem lame to some based off the title alone, but ya know what they say y`all....I`ve got to say that after giving this a read it should be must read for everyone living in America if you value your freedom at all! Honestly, I`m not kidding even the everyday law-abiding citizens should open their eyes & peep this. If you want to protect your FREEDOM do yourself a favor & read it. Some of what`s covered may seem like common sense to a select few, but that`s not the case for everyone. Trust me y`all you get schooled on some of the tactics the police officers use in order to meet their monthly quotas, dirty cops, probable cause, search & seizure laws, racial profiling, your right to remain silent & so much more....like how to limit your interaction with `em which is very key! The main author, Dale C. Carson can back up his words because he`s a former F.B.I. field agent (15 years served) & instructor at the FBI academy. He`s also a former Miami police officer who served 8 years setting Florida records for felony arrests. Nowadays he`s working as a criminal defense attorney, well at the time that he put out this book anyway. I definitely recommend this read...
