KRS-One – Return Of The Boom Bap (Vinyl)
While it is a return to an older style of vocal delivery, it is also a step forward in many ways. In 1987 Eric B and Rakim had released Paid In Full, which brought on a more considered spoken rapping style, a long way from KRS-One's angry political raspy spits.
This was KRS-One's first record since the demise of Boogie Down Productions which ended tragically with the murder of DJ Scott La Rock. The liner notes state ''Overseen by Scott La Rock despite what others might think!'' this is printed on all of KRS-One's records, as there was strong companionship between him and Scott La Rock.
The best example of what ''Boom Bap'' actually is, is on the track ''Return Of The Boom Bap'' which not only is a great example of hardcore rap, it is an explanation of Boom Bap with samples of other hardcore acts such as NWA.
KRS-One wanted to bring back the anger in hip hop music, although he supports cheerful and calm hip hop acts such as De La Soul he wants the hardcore styles to evolve and stop being ignored. This record did very well for an independent Hip Hop record, and certainly went a long way in helping hardcore rap to grow.
