The Greatest Live Hip Hop Album Ever, PERIOD, February 7, 2001
This review is from: Live Hardcore Worldwide (Audio CD)
I listened to this when I had it on tape so many times, the tape wore out and I had to buy another one. It is a compilation of live KRS-1/BDP concerts in NY, Europe, London, ect. KRS-1 is a better MC live than on CD. And that is not a disrespect in the least because on CD he is still the greatest. The only way he would lose in a rhyme battle is if he battled himself. Side A is better than side B, but both are dope. The first 15-20 minutes are so hype, especially when they make the transition from "Jack of Spades" to "My Philosophy", this is so hype that at times it has caused me to lose control of my bodily functions. Another hype part is his freestyle over the "I am still #1 beat". The bottom line is: If you could only buy one KRS-1/BDP album, BUY THIS ONE! If you don't like this one, maybe you should start listening to guns and roses. This album gets a 5 (almost a 6!) on the Mark D hype scale. (See the "More About Me" section for more details on the scale.)

pure niceness..., July 25, 2003
This review is from: Live Hardcore Worldwide (Audio CD)
I always appreciated BDP, owned their records, know KRS One's lyrics, hooks, etc...but I don't think I really got the importance of this crew until I heard this set...BDP and their peers, the whole the class of '88 (Big Daddy Kane, Marley Marl, Pete Rock, I could go on for days) were as raw ever...not to mention that every great track from this era was full of flavor (THINK the piano sample in Kool G Rap and Polo's Road to Riches)...the fact that you are even reading reviews on this record right now let's me know with almost 99% certainty you'll quickly understand what I am talking about the second you hear this...dancehall fans watch out for the kuff, stalag, death in the arena riddims, as well as '9MM' over an answer version, and one of my favorites, the koloko...bottom line: this is the blueprint...

I'm listening to that same cassette now, 2006. This was creation from above. KRS & BDP--dem bwoy na play 'round pon dis 1, overstand. Sound-CRISP, Lyrics-CRISP, Riddims-CRISP. De 'ole cassette jus sweet. GOD know.
STRAIGHT!!!!!!!!!!
