Boogie Down Productions – Criminal Minded (Expanded Edition) (2008) (Limited Edition 2CD Set)

Traffic Entertainment Group and B-Boy Records are proud to present one of the most influential and original albums in music history: "Criminal Minded" by Boogie Down Productions. KRS-ONE's combination of street slang and Webster's dictionary knowledge backed by Scott La Rock's hard hitting, minimal beats help set this album apart when it was originally released in 1986. With this now-classic debut album, BDP's hardcore stylings helped to redefine the New York rap music scene. "Criminal Minded" elevated the standards and proved that rap could be a dynamic and consciousness-raising medium and since its release, KRS-ONE has gone on to become one of the most prolific and critically-acclaimed artists in Hip Hop history. A true classic, "Criminal Minded" was included in Vibe Magazine s 100 Essential Albums of the 20th century and finally this legendary album is available in a much anticipated, double-disc deluxe edition. The first disc features the original ten album tracks and is enhanced with the ultra rare video for the "The Bridge Is Over" with all cuts remastered from the original masters. The companion disc contains rare 12" cuts and alternative versions as well as previously unreleased radio spots and audio footage. And the deluxe packaging sports never before seen artwork and is packed with original illustrations by KRS-ONE himself, vintage BDP promotional flyers, unreleased photography, full lyric sheets, and in depth liner notes. This reissue of this definitive rap album is a must have for any music collector or fan of contemporary American music in general. We invite you to experience "Criminal Minded" again for the first time.
