(1 Customer Review)
CRIMINAL MINDED was the first of a string of albums (including RHYME PAYS, PAID IN FULL) which in 1987 established the blueprint for what would become hardcore or gangsta rap. A first in other respects as well, it shares PAID IN FULL's claim to the first James Brown samples; the sound generally set the tone for the next decade of hip-hop production.
The harder style that CRIMINAL MINDED introduced was a backlash to the Marley Marl/Juice Crew monopoly on mid-'80s hip-hop ("South Bronx" and "The Bridge is Over" express these sentiments in no uncertain terms). Ironically though, legend has it that KRS ONE and Scott La Rock realized the album with a drum reel lifted from Marley's studio (play "The Bridge Is Over" back to back with Marley productions like "Eric B. For President" or "The Bridge"). Even so, the staccato, reggae-inflected beats programmed with that reel (another first; "9 MM" and "The 'P' Is Free" were the first rap tracks to openly celebrate hip-hop's Jamaican roots) and the unprecedented sophistication of the battle-rhymes that KRS spread on top are pure BDP, with few equals in the history of rap music.
Boogie Down Productions includes: KRS-One (rap vocals); DJ Scott La Rock (programming, scratches).

| | Black Moon Enta Da Stage CD (1993)
Criminal Minded album
$12.99 (MP3 Available for Download) This is the defining album of East Coast crime rap, which was largely established by the Brooklyn-based Boot Camp Clik of MCs. ENTA DA STAGE is a classic in its genre, featuring deep-in-the-crates beats by DJ Evil Dee (who continues to have a presence in New York's underground hip-hop scene), lurid street imagery delivered by MCs Buckshot and 5T and a flavor forever reminiscent of early-'90s New York.
As much a social phenomenon as a congregation ...
| | Big L Lifestylez Ov Da Poor & Dangerous CD (1995)
Criminal Minded CD music
$7.59 (MP3 Available for Download) All songs co-written by L. Coleman. Samples include "Vibrations" (as performed by Buster Williams) and "Stay With Me" (as performed by DeBarge).
Having made a name for himself as a guest MC on D.I.T.C. (Diggin' in the Crates) projects such as Diamond D.'s Stunts, Blunts & Hip-Hop and Showbiz & A.G.'s Runaway Slave, the flamboyantly gifted Lamont Coleman (aka Big L) dropped his debut in early 1995. A product of the mean streets of Harlem, L made his bones in the rap game with his rapid fire freestyle delivery and clever punchline-peppered rhymes. A patchwork album with a few outstanding cuts, Lifestylez fails to package the lightning-in-a-bottle talent of this cut-above ...

| | Eric B & Rakim Paid In Full CD (1987) Bonus Tracks; Remastered; Expanded Edition
Criminal Minded music CDs
$8.39 (MP3 Available for Download) Disc two is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.
PAID IN FULL is perhaps the most important album of the middle-school era of hip-hop--"I Know You Got Soul," "I Ain't No Joke," and "Eric B. Is President" are as classic as hip-hop songs get. Eric B. & Rakim pioneered the minimalist sound that would form the new-school of hip-hop aesthetics with Eric B.'s innovative distillation of James Brown samples to pure drum and bass-line splendor and Rakim's narcissistic monotonal lyrical bombast. The title cut forwarded the manifesto that all others in hip-hop were to follow: the eternal search for dead presidents.

| | Justice Cross CD (2007)
Criminal Minded songs
$12.19 (MP3 Available for Download) It could be said that electronic musicians have a tendency to obsess over sonic detail in a way that your average garage rock band may find hard to understand. The young Parisian duo Justice (Gaspard Auge and Xavier de Rosnay), seem, for the most part, unfettered by niceties such as sonic subtlety or restraint. Combining French-touch house with large doses of heavy-metal hedonism, the group's debut, CROSS, privileges rock's devil-may-care mid-range thrash over electro's low-frequency thump.
The album, in classic rave style, is all about colossal riffs. Whether through its swirling synth sweeps or pile-driving funk loops, CROSS has an insistent, torqued, vaguely druggy quality that's resolutely unsubtle. ...

$10.15 Wandering hands is a collection of classically trained musicians and recovering early-music geeks who re-interpret traditional Celtic and British Isles material through different musical styles around the world in combinations nature never intended. On their first CD you will hear everything from flamenco to Hawaiian, Arabic to bluegrass, Renaissance to Rockabilly but somehow the interpretation always fits the song.Leith McCombs:The extreme multi-instrumentalist, Leith sings (mostly low baritone) and plays as many different instruments as he can get his (wandering) hands on in as many styles as he can figure out how to play. These include mandolin, cittern, oud, banjo, Irish flute, whistle, recorder, ...
