 Boogie Down Productions : Edutainment - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
KRS was often compared to Public Enemy leader Chuck D because of his consistently sociopolitical focus, but there's no mistaking the fact that his unique mixture of fl nationalism, Eastern religion (both Hinduism and Buddhism), and Rastafarian philosophy is very much his own.
From a commercial standpoint, he had become a little too intellectual and wasn't selling as many albums as many in rap's gangsta school.
But from an artistic perspective, Edutainment is as commendable as it is riveting.

For their next album, 1991's Apocalypse 91...The Enemy Strikes Black, the group re-recorded "Bring the Noise" with thrash metal band Anthrax, the first sign that the group were trying to consolidate their white audience.
The "special projects" album Rebirth of a Nation -- an album with all rhymes written by Bay Area rapper Paris -- was supposed to be released right along with it, but didn't appear until early the next year.
References to the controversy are scattered throughout the album -- and it fueled the incendiary lead single, "Welcome to the Terrordome" -- but years later, after the furor has died down, what remains is a remarkable piece of modern art, a record that ushered in the '90s in a hail of multi-culturalism and kaleidoscopic confusion.

A more appropriate term can be culled from the title of a 1990 Boogie Down Productions album: "edutainment", which conveys the crucial concept of the rapper as teacher.
Rather, edutainment incorporated all three themes -- political, religious, and social -- in an effort to uplift the fl race.
Reciting poetry in a rhythmic "rap" over jazz and funk grooves, they were the progenitors of not only rap music generally but edutainment in particular.

Sterling was also a DJ who performed under the name Scott La Rock, and when the two became friends, they decided to form a rap group, which they called Boogie Down Productions.

But KRS is now on his ninth album — this one produced mainly by himself and brother Kenny Parker and with a rougher, more broken-glass edginess than his last few releases.
I copped Edutainment by the suggestion of a homegirl of mine.
It was Criminal Minded that permanently altered rap music when KRS employed a 16-bar rhyme style and adroitly merged a hip-hop and dancehall reggae delivery with the hardcore swagger of a gangsta — something no one before him had done.

In 1987, KRS-ONE and DJ Scott La Rock (BDP) recorded and published, the now classic Rap album, "Criminal Minded." In August of this same year, while enjoying an overwhelmingly positive street response to their album, Scott La Rock was fatally shot while trying to break up a dispute.
During 1989, KRS recorded and published his third album "Ghetto Music - The Blueprint of Hip-Hop." This album became an immediate cultural success when KRS questioned the ethnicity of many of the Prophets of the Holy Bible, and challenged the validity of the American Educational System as it related to Black (African) history.
His 10th album entitled "Spiritual Minded" and his spoken word lecture album entitled "The Fundamentals of Hiphop" are scheduled to be published in 2002.

This album is B.D.P. at the top of his game blazing lyrics and beats that are a good 10 years ahead of their time and when you look at other rappers from that timeframe such as kane and Kool Moe Dee without a doubt B.D.P was the best.

I told him that “Ya Strugglin’” was my favorite song from Edutainment, and he seemed shocked that this little guy would cite a deep album cut as his favorite.
None of his work after that album seemed to register with me, let alone reach the heights of his BDP material.
Although I was glad that he accepted Christ into his life, his attempts to sanitize his lyrics only ended up diluting them, and his insistence on starting feuds with artists like Nelly seemed to directly conflict the faith he espoused.

Appearing on the Boogie Down Productions Edutainment album (1991), Jamal toured with the band and months later went on to perform on the Jive Records album BDP: Live Worldwide Hardcore.
Full of "weird samples, lots of flutes and sitars," the album led to MTV videos and numerous collaborations, including appearances on the Brand New Heavies' Heavy Rhyme Syndicate (Delicious Vinyl) and on Dee-lite's second album, Infinity Within (Electra Records).
The in-house MC for the famed Giant Step (from which Groove Collective formed) club in New York, Jamal became an instrumental tie-in to the reggae, hip-hop, acid-jazz and house-music scenes.

Built around the song writing of Phil Wilson, and their distinctive musical mélange of post-punk, lo-fi Stax(!) and Velvets’ sensibilities, The June Brides’ recording career lasted all of 18 months between 1984 and 1986, leaving behind just three singles, an e.p., and one album.
Their final press release read: 'The June Brides have decided to part company and become legend'.
So, in the true spirit of edutainment, this album brings together a fantastic line-up of discerning artists from around the globe, new and old, all great, in celebration of Britain’s last, great soul band.
