BooGie DoWn PRoDuCTioN`s "My PHiLoSoPHy" [12 iNCH PRoMo]...

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...

BooGie DoWn PRoDuCTioN`s "13 & GooD" [12 iNCH]...

Here`s another 12 inch from BDP, it was released in 1992 the same year as their CLaSSiC "Sex & Violence" album -- so naturally ya get some cuts from the LP. In this case you get "13 & Good" which was produced by Pal Joey & then you`re blessed with the Kenny Parker produced "Build & Destroy". "13 & Good" is a lil` cautionary tale for the fellas about underage girls, the lil` twist at the end was kind of unexpected but a lil` funny. Check out the video, you can see Heather B makin` a lil` cameo...

The Remix for "13 & Good" was produced by Kenny Parker & D-Square I believe, it`s alright but the LP version is definitely much better. "Build & Destroy" has KRS-One droppin` a few lyrical gems over the thumpin` drum beat that Kenny Parker provides. Once again for the Instrumental lovers the last track on this 12 inch is the "13 & Good [LP Instr.]".Definitely worth the listen so check it out y`all...

BooGie DoWn PRoDuCTioN`s "We iN THeRe" [12 iNCH]...

Back again with some more KRS-One, well actually some Boogie Down Productions to be more precise. This 12 inch features "We In There" a track from BDP`s CLaSSiC 1992 album "Sex & Violence", also my favorite BDP album. You also get the Remix that was flipped by A Tribe Called Quest`s Ali Shaheed Muhammad, actually I`d say it`s better than the LP Version. On The B-Side you`re blessed with "Feel The Vibe, Feel The Beat", a DoPe track that should`ve been added to the "Sex & Violence" album in my opinion. The last track on this 12 inch is the Instrumental for the "We In There [Rmx]". Do ya`self a favor & check out this 12 inch, you`ll be glad ya did...
