Pressed on 180G Orange Colored Vinyl
In its history, Hip Hop has had a handful of stand-out years. And for many true fans there is little debate that 1988 was the true Golden Era. Countless classic albums came out that year, and Boogie Down Productions' By Any Means Necessary ranks high atop that list.
Following the fatal shooting of the group's DJ/Producer Scott La Rock in 1987, KRS One was determined to continue BDP despite the tragedy. Taking the group in a slightly different direction, adopting the moniker Teacher and taking on social issues, KRS crafted an album that to this day still sounds fresh and exciting. From the moment the album starts with the infectious saxophone sample on "My Philosophy" or the Reggae influenced "Stop the Violence" to the straight-up braggadocio "I'm Still #1", By Any Means Necessary proves why its one of the most important and classic albums ever recorded. Other stand out tracks include Illegal Business which is a look at how the drug trade corrupts the police and government, while Jimmy warns us to the pit falls of a big butt and a smile.
Just based on the album's cover alone, an ode to the famous Ebony Magazine Malcolm X photograph, By Any Means Necessary was able to make one of the biggest statements in Hip Hop history that is just as important today as it was in 88…or as KRS says, Fresh for 88 you suck-azzzz.
By All Means Necessary is an essential and definitive BDP and KRS album. It marks the moment where KRS wasn’t just concerned with being a great emcee but a teacher, too, continuing his exploration of sociopolitical subjects on BDP’s following three albums, as well as throughout his solo career.
