 |  | KRS One's Third Round With The BDP Posse! |  |
After two successful albums (Criminal Minded, By All Means Necessary) the Blast Master dropped what would be, number three. This album doesn't get as much recognition, but it's rightfully labeled a classic. As usual, KRS ONE delivers history, facts, and positivety in a remarkable Hip Hop fashion. "The Style You Haven't Done Yet" "Why Is That?" "Jack Of Spades" and "You Must Learn" have gotta be my favorites on here. KRS ONE's creative lyrics, mixed with his unique delivery, combined with his sweet beats (he produced the entire album) makes for a strong timeless classic.
If you're into KRS ONE, especially his BDP years, and don't already own this, do yourself a favor and pick it up. If you're a Hip Hop fan, especially of the Golden Age, you'll dig this one as well.

KRS-ONE has now proven for 20+ years that he knows how to make great, timeless, and flawless music. This "Ghetto Music: The Blueprint Of Hip-Hop" album which dropped in '89 is no exception to the high standards of a legendary career, you just can't go wrong with songs like "The Blueprint", "Jack Of Spades", "You Must Learn", "Hip Hop Rules", and "Ghetto Music", mcs take note, this is the blueprint.
February 6, 2008BDP threw a sweet curve with this classic. A great album all the way thru. I think this was the last Album where everything from top to bottom was just great and fresh creatively done. I like the other that followed especially sex and violence but this was the last classic to me of BDP. Interestingly enough this album featured his then sister in law Harmony who went on to do a solo album featuring Pound Cake do yall remember that? and of course his then wife now ex Ms. Melody i actually liked Ms. Melody's flow He did a great job with her i especially love the record she did called Live on Stage. What i am saying is this album spun off some great creativity.(period) Now let me go check for some old Ice-T classics.
January 30, 2008KRS One and the Boogie Down Production crew is the epitome of late '80s hip-hop. This album combines hardcore beats with social commentary including police brutality, racism, and religious truths. A must buy for all true hip-hop heads.
September 18, 2007This album is first BDP album that I can't say is a complete classic..however there is classic material on this album (Why Is That, You Must Learn, Who Protects Us From You, Hip Hop Rulez), but I felt that Ghetto Music, and World Peace sound wise were to much of a departure of what came before it. The album doesn't feel as tightly knit as other BDP work..but no question, this is still a highly enjoyable album
