5.0 out of 5 stars It's About Time...., May 12, 2001

The Best of B-Boy Records by Boogie Down Productions compiles the entire Criminal Minded album plus many hard-to-find and out-of-print bonus tracks. Every hip-hop fan out there probably already knows that Criminal Minded is a classic. Some of KRS-ONE's and BDP's best songs are all here including "South Bronx", "P Is Free (Remix)", "Poetry", "Criminal Minded", and the infamous diss track aimed at the Juice Crew "The Bridge Is Over." In addition to the Criminal Minded album, The Best Of B-Boy Records contains the very rare original version of "The P Is Free," the rare first single by BDP "Say No Brother (Crack Don't Do It)," and the tracks "Advance" and "D-Nice Rocks The House" from the Man And His Music remix album. Needless to say, this material is classic. Buy this album now. Every hip-hop fan should own this.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Criminal Minded" in all but the title and cover art, July 22, 2001

This review is from: Best of B-Boy Records (Audio CD)

The first 10 tracks are the original out-of-print "Criminal Minded" CD (actually, its still available as an slightly more expensive import) in its entirety. Added are two earlier tracsk and a remix of the track, "Criminal Minded". The music is a bit sparse by today's standards but the strength of the CD is in KRS-One's rhymes, and since he hadn't gotten overly preachy yet, this is his best recording. It's also the only available recording of BDP with the fine DJ Scott LeRock. A classic.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Scott La Rock, he's STILL in here!", September 2, 2005

This is the classic BDP album "CRIMINAL MINDED", plus some other rare, obscure joints. Must I go in to why this is a ground-breaking classic?
