I Got Next--
Released in the spring of 1997, I Got Next was the last studio LP from KRS-One on Jive Records. The album was a gold-seller (over 500,000 copies), propelled largely by the single and video "Step Into a World (Rapture's Delight)". The CD and cassette featured a Puff Daddy remix of the song that was not released independently--the gamble by Jive worked, and helped push sales of the album to help KRS-One earn his first gold plaque in several years. Other standout songs include the Showbiz-produced "A Friend" and "Heartbeat", featuring Redman & Angie Martinez.
Curiously, DJ Premier, Kid Capri, and even the artist's brother Kenny Parker are absent from the album as producers; their presence is missed as a handful of songs are sub-par in impact. The most surprising turn is near the end of the album, "Just to Prove a Point", where KRS does his first rap-rock fusion song since 1988's "Ya Slippin'". One is left wishing that a full album was done like this. Interludes between songs feature the artist's spoken-word poetry. But did you expect any less from the Blastmaster? A re-release of the album should include some remixes, including one by former members of Sublime.

This whole album is filled with classics, i been listening to KRS for a long time.. and in my opinion this is by far his best work to date.. this is a musthave for any hiphop fan, dont even claim hiphop if you dont own this masterpiece.. thats it!

I didn't like this album that much. Only songs i liked are The MC, Step Into A World, A Friend, Can't Stop Won't Stop. Just To Prove A Point song was horrible and i don't know why he tried to do a rock song. Putting Puff Daddy on the Step Into A World remix was a terrible decision by KRS. The songs were too short on this album also.
December 14, 2006I am a huge fan of KRS. I have ran into the man numerous times. I got all his albums. And I couldn't believe my ears when I heard this. I'm just being fair. If you new to KRS avoid this album it could possibly make you not want to cop anything else. Still even at his worst he is better than every mainstream papper(pop rapper) in the industry. The only stand out track for me is step into a world. But after all the jewels he dropped, he can be excused for this album. Cop anything before this,also check out Keep right and Life.
