Performer: KRS-One
Artist: Fat Joe Distributor: BMG Special Products Notes: One of hip-hop's greatest MCs, KRS-One has consistently brought intelligence, insight, and accountability to the genre. This brief budget anthology from BMG draws from 1994's Return of the Boom Bap, 1995's KRS-One, and 1997's I Got Next to form a nice introduction to his post-Boogie Down Productions solo career. ~ Steve Leggett
Kris "KRS-One" Parker was the driving force behind the group Boogie Down Productions, purveyors of a politically conscious rap style dubbed Edutainment. KRS-One, which stands for Knowledge Reigns Supreme, began his solo career with 1993's RETURN OF THE BOOM BAP, and devoted himself to defining, promoting, and preserving the true spirit of hip-hop. (The Blastmaster even went so far as to start the Zulu Nation-esque Temple of Hip-Hop Kulture in the late 1990s.) Though controversial, and occasionally inconsistent in his politics, KRS-One remains one of the most respected and sought-after MCs ever.
