ALBUM: SEX AND VIOLENCE
SONG: WE IN THERE
DATE: 1992
STATUS: ACQUIRED
Biggie? 2Pac? ... Nah. No one brought it like KRS1. That's why you never hear his name unless you are talking with a true hip-hop head; no emcee wanted to tangle with KRS.
Before going solo KRS ran with Boogie Down Productions. Over five albums there sound evolved along with the rest of hip hop from the slow stepping sound of early Bronx-centric rap to a more dynamic and diverse sound that would emerge as the mature sound of 90's hip hop.
Sex and Violence was BDP's final effort and KRS brings it, flipping Hip-Hop conventions, such as homophobia, to shame emcees who strike false hardcore gangster poses to rock a party. 90's rap, even when it was intelligently assembled by someone as talented as KRS, was rarely politically correct.
