	Criminal Minded - Boogie Down Productions - Song Listings
		Criminal Minded is widely considered the foundation of hardcore rap, announcing its intentions with a cover photo of KRS-One and Scott La Rock (on his only album with Boogie Down Productions) posing with weapons -- an unheard-of gesture in 1987.
		BDP weren't the first to rap about inner-city violence and drugs, and there's no explicit mention of gangs on Criminal Minded, but it greatly expanded the range of subject matter that could be put on a rap record, and its grittiest moments are still unsettling today.
		Overall it's very consistent, so even if the meat of Criminal Minded is the material that lives up to the title, the raw talent on display is what cements the album's status as an all-time classic.

	Criminal Minded (album) - Wikipedia
		Boogie Down Productions' Criminal Minded was a highly influential hip hop album.
		It was produced in part by KRS One and Scott La Rock but was created in larger part (with little credit) due to the production of Ced-Gee of Ultramagnetic MC's fame.
		Criminal Minded served as a sign of what was to come from the group as the album is at times somewhat concious (less than later recordings), sometimes somewhat hardcore (the influences of which were said to have helped create gangsta Rap), and sometimes rather vulgar (most noticeably on the track, Super-Hoe).

		While there is, of course, no obligation for the blogger to publicise the album in question, either in a full review or simply recommendations to friends, that is clearly what the record label is hoping for.
		Not to mention a criminal who isn’t smart enough to get his copy of QuickTime and re-align the tracks to rip them properly.
		This is all a terrible shame, as the album in question is really very good: so much so that, had it not come bundled with a free slap in the face, I would have made sure that anyone with a remotely compatible music taste to myself would have known how good I thought it was.

		He says, "When I began to think about what my tenth album should sound like, I couldn't help but to think of the people that yearn for the spiritual meaning of life and living." Spiritual Minded is hiphop with a gospel edge.
		Although the subject matter may be of interest to the album's target audience, the music is mostly a dissappointment.
		Spiritual Minded may not be for the masses, but it will definitely elevate Chrisitian rap to a new level.

		The latter got shot after the release of BDP's debut album "Criminal Minded" in 1987, at about the same time when Ice T and NWA released their debut albums.
		While "Criminal Minded" was basically about sex and crime, BDP radically changed after Scott's death, becoming the most popular conscious rap group besides Public Enemy.
		BDP pioneered the fusion of Raggamuffin and Hip hop music, KRS One worked together with rappers such as Mad Lion, Channel Live and D Nice.

		His album Castle Of Noi is quite good, pre-dates the first TS album, and in pretty much the same style, with lots of symphonic stylings and Japanese vocals.
		Actually this first album is quite good, but whatever they had, they lost by their 2nd album and have never recovered.
		Finally, Horslips Story is a good album if you want a compilation of their most popular cuts, but not neccesarily their most interesting or progressive ones, and many of the songs on it have their intros cut off and it lacks the cohesion you'd get on the original concept albums.

		Criminal Minded changed Hip-Hop’s landscape sixteen years ago, and it will never be the same again.
		The album ends with the title track, “Criminal Minded”, which is probably the most polished song on the entire album.
		Though the beats and rhymes may be a bit dated, their use on this album represents a paradigm shift in rap - from playful partying to hardcore Hip-Hop.

		Their debut album - Criminal Minded - contained mainly dissing records and tracks about crime ("wa da da deng wa da da deng, listen to my nine millimeter go bang"), using James Brown samples and reggae influences.
		After many BDP albums and the solo albums, Jive Records decided to drop KRS, and his 2001 album was released on Koch.
		In 2002, he released a gospel-rap album, Spiritual Minded, surprising many longtime fans since he had once criticized Christianity as being a "slavemaster religion" which fls should not follow.

	Tower Records - Criminal Minded [Explicit Lyrics] - Boogie Down Productions (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		CRIMINAL MINDED was the first of a string of albums (including RHYME PAYS, PAID IN FULL) which in 1987 established the blueprint for what would become hardcore or gangsta rap.
		The harder style that CRIMINAL MINDED introduced was a backlash to the Marley Marl/Juice Crew monopoly on mid-'80s hip-hop ("South Bronx" and "The Bridge is Over" express these sentiments in no uncertain terms).
		Even so, the staccato, reggae-inflected beats programmed with that reel (another first; "9 MM" and "The 'P' Is Free" were the first rap tracks to openly celebrate hip-hop's Jamaican roots) and the unprecedented sophistication of the battle-rhymes that KRS spread on top are pure BDP, with few equals in the history of rap music.

		Criminal Minded makes you feel if more time was spent on this album you could have more choice cuts than the few that is there.
		Although a bad album does happen everytime, the average fan is more out to listen to C-Murder than any of his siblings.

		Filas, British Knights, Kangols, Suede Pumas, Shell Toes, Adidas sweats suits, rope chains, S-Curls, shags, Air Jordans, Mike Tyson Punch-Out, Ronald Reagan and "Criminal Minded." This was the album you had to have to be really down.
		This album is considered a hip-hop classic, even to this day.

	Prindle Record Reviews - Subhumans
		To be honest with you, I really don't listen to this album all that much, but that's only because it was the last one that I heard, and I was so used to the musical developments displayed in their later works that I had trouble sitting through the whole sixteen-song three-chord thrashfest.
		It's their fucking best album ever i fucking love Trotsky he's an awesome drummer the drums really stand out to me in "Subvert City" and "Black and White" I think this is their best album because of the message and musical value.
		i gave this album a 7 1/2 because some of the songs were slow, but some of them were very fast so it evened out to be better, this was the first subhumans album i heard and it took me awhile to get the beat of it.

		What this album did to hip-hop is the equivalent of what The Beatles did with Sgt. Pepper's and to rock'n roll: groundbreaking.
		I think if Criminal Minded didn't exist hip-hop and rap would have been drastically different today.

		Meanwhile, Edutainment, BDP's fourth album, hints that KRS-One may be finding his job as de facto principal of the School of Humanism a weighty one.
		Most of the raps on the album are practically a cappella, spoken behind spare beats that tend to leave the lyrics standing stark and exposed rather than complementing and reinforcing them.
		The album's better moments sport a more complex musical structure and a lighter tone in the lyrics.

		They hooked up with (uncredited) producer Ced Gee to cut "South Bronx" and "The Bridge Is Over," monumental records which toppled the Queens-based Juice Crew and forever cemented the Bronx's place in the history of hip-hop.
		The first 10 tracks are the original out-of-print "Criminal Minded" CD (actually, its still available as an slightly more expensive import) in its entirety.
		The music is a bit sparse by today's standards but the strength of the CD is in KRS-One's rhymes, and since he hadn't gotten overly preachy yet, this is his best recording.

		One of the more useful figurative meanings we've assigned to "flat" is that of "absolutely," as in the phrase "flat broke," giving the sense of "reduced to a flat state, absolutely without substance or variation." A related sense is "exactly, precisely, not exceeding," which appeared in the U.S. in the early 20th century.

		Hip-hop has always been about competition and leveling — thus its fascination with violent metaphor and its insistence that heroes be "real." But because rap arose during a period of racial polarization and political reaction, it has also been looked to as an authentic source of social commentary.
		Dropped at a crucial moment, the lasting brilliance of Criminal Minded lies in the way it encapsulates these essentially divergent functions.
		Most of the album sounds as if it had been better done before; "13 and Good" is a one-note joke that isn't very funny.
