In listing the greatest albums in hip-hop history, one
title never seems to stray from the upper echelons,
no matter how many years pass: Boogie Down
Productions' undisputed classic from 1986, Criminal
Minded, Released amidst a battle between BDP and
MC Shan that would redefine the New York rap
landscape as it was then known, the album, which
features the songs "South Bronx," "Criminal
Minded" and "The Bridge is Over," captures the
excitement, urgency and raw power that embodies
hip-hop culture as we know it, with KRS-One's
aggressive yet intelligent lyricism backed by Scott
La Rock's hard-hitting, stripped-down beats, A true
classic, Criminal Minded has been recognized by
Vibe Magazine, The Source and Rolling Stone as
one of the most important albums of all time.
Traffic Entertainment Group and B-Boy Records are
proud to present Criminal Minded, presented for the
first time ever in a double-LP pressing with a new
digital transfer from the original analog master tapes.
