 (4 Customer Reviews)
I GOT NEXT is an enhanced CD which contains multimedia programs accessible with a CD-ROM drive as well as a full audio program playable on any normal CD player.
Philosopher, MC, teacher; there is only one man in rap music that fits this description, and there is not much left that he needs to prove. In just a little over 10 years, KRS-One has gone ghetto-platinum, all of his releases considered rap classics. Both with Boogie Down Productions and as a solo artist, KRS has schooled rap fans with his thoughtful, intelligent lyrics. On I GOT NEXT, KRS-One continues to take hip-hop beyond entertainment and into education.
Musically, KRS still delivers the raw hip-hop he's famous for. "The MC" is head-nodding rap at its best, with KRS' lyrical flow adding even more depth to a multidimensional track. "Step Into A World" features rowdy lyrics and a loud party-anthem beat that will rock any crowd. On the Enhanced CD, KRS-One talks about The Temple Of Hip-Hop, the school that he intends to build, which will be centered around the preservation of hip-hop culture.

Entertainment Weekly (6/13/97, pp.68-69) - "...In a stunning return to form, this hip-hop revolutionary finally sounds like he's having fun." - Rating: A-
The Source (5/97, p.127) - 3.5 Mics (out of 5) - "...Kris is hip-hop's Cassius Clay....the Blastmaster slices through lyrics like a cuisinart, showcasing his preternatural oratorical schemes....KRS-One's albums, BDP or otherwise, have always remained pertinent and inventive..."

I Got Next Music Review Average Rating: (4.8 out of 5 stars)   KRS-One got next
This is an great album for anyone who is interested in real hip-hop. KRS-One keeps his focus on the music and the people living hip hop in the world wide community. Filled with positive messages and sometimes-jazzy, sometimes-old school sounds, this album is perfect for creating hip hop nostalgia.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No KRS-Ones' underlining of the king of hip hop
KRS-One is always slept on as an mc he prodominatlly led the underground and mainstream hip hop circuit through the early 90's0 the late 90's, this albums hard beats and raw lyrics dont fall behind that. with that in mind this lp from krs-one is nothing bellow what he has already acheived as a strong lyrical genius in a day and age of weakening talent in the game called hip hop

KRS-ONE contains 38 spoken interludes dedicated to KRS-One by guest artists and radio personalities.
Hip-hop music owes a lot to KRS-One. Lyrically speaking, no other rapper has contributed so much knowledge to the culture; musically, every song hits you in the head like a hammer. At a time when hip-hop has begun expanding into new genres (new-jack swing, g-funk, gangsta rap, R&B hip-hop, etc.), Kris Parker brings all rappers back down to earth with KRS-ONE, reminding them what hip-hop is really about.
Since his days with Boogie Down Productions, KRS-One has declared that his "Knowledge Reigns ...

All songs written or co-written by R. Jones. Samples include "Hip Hug Her" (as performed by Booker T. & The MGs).
"I'll grab the mic and I'll damage ya," boasts Ol' Dirty Bastard on his debut. Along with his producer, The RZA, the man with no father to his style has crafted a fine record, both solid and experimental--a Wu-Tang Clan solo project that can stand alongside the group's groundbreaking album. Whether crooning "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" mid-song or speaking in tongues, ODB constantly stretches the limits of what an MC sounds like. He'll damage your sensibilities, perhaps even your speakers--but remember, no pain no gain.
The success of hip-hop albums often rests on the character of a rapper; and though Ol' Dirty Bastard may not have the pure skills of Method ...

Golden key would like to recognize R*DE with his latest single, Love You Down. Look for him at the 47th annual Grammy award's. R.B.S. magazine lists R*DE as the hottest new artist of 2005. Take a moment to read up on Golden Key's artist of the month R*DE:R-DE was born legally as Yohnni R. Perry, translated Johnny R. Perry, in Athens, Greece. Son of an American military man, R-De and his family travelled frequently and lived in many countries. With a loving Canadian mother our artist was raised in a very multi-cultural surrounding. Having such a diverse childhood we believe created that spark of musical genius only the influence of various artists and musical experiences can create. Having a father with a stake in the musical industry and a devoted mother R-DE started music and dance at the age of three. By the age of five he was being professionally taught by a vocal and numerous musical instrument teachers. This continued until the age of nine when his parents got divorced ...
