Best of B-Boy Records [Explicit Lyrics]
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Ignore the misleading title. You'll know this CD release better as Criminal Minded, the classic album from KRS-One and Scott La Rock. In 1985, a young and homeless Lawrence Krsna Parker met social worker Scott Sterling at a Bronx shelter. They hooked up with (uncredited) producer Ced Gee to cut "South Bronx" and "The Bridge Is Over," monumental records which toppled the Queens-based Juice Crew and forever cemented the Bronx's place in the history of hip-hop. These tracks, along with the sublime "Poetry" and the shocking "9mm Goes Bang," formed the basis of Criminal Minded. As the record took off, Scott La Rock was killed in a street-side shooting while coming to the aid of rapper D-Nice. From the now out-of-print compilation, The Man and His Music, this CD adds a DJ Red Alert megamix, circa late '80s, and the early tracks, "Advance" and "D-Nice Rocks the House." Also included is the rare early single "Say No Brother." Essential. --Jeff Chang

"Scott La Rock, he's STILL in here!".......2005-09-02
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?
Blastmaster always vital.......2002-02-28
Kris is the only true non run of the mill rapper. This release as always is killing all the rest. Undrstand how hard it is to know your the best and concentrate on the finer joys of life.KRS will continue to destroy all so called MCs. Dont act like you dont know!
"Criminal Minded" in all but the title and cover art.......2001-07-23
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.
It's About Time...........2001-05-13
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.

Nice cross-over.......2003-03-09
There is only a single track on "The Kiri Selection" that didn't come from one of her other releases, and that is "The World You're Coming Into" from Paul McCartney's Liverpool Oratorio. The rest of her songs can also be heard on "Kiri Sings Gershwin," "Come to the Fair - Folk Songs & Ballads," "From Heart to Heart" with Malcolm McNeill, and "Kiri Sings Kern."
It's a jumbled mixture but Dame Kiri negotiates the songs with a light, brilliant touch, never bringing too much heavy operatic artillery to bear on what are essentially popular songs. For those of you who are not operatically inclined, you may remember this lovely soprano from the 1981 marriage ceremony of HRH the Prince of Wales to the Lady Diana Spencer. Te Kanawa sang "Let the Bright Seraphim" (and wore a very strange hat).
Unlike some sopranos (my chorale director says Dame Joan never sang a consonant throughout her entire career), Kiri is scrupulous about her intonation and you will be able to understand almost every syllable she sings. My personal favorite is her rendition of Kern's "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes:" "They said some day you'll find,/ All who love are blind,/ When your heart's on fire,/ you must realize,/ Smoke gets in your eyes." She sings with intense pathos, yet a little tremble of courage. I can just see her sitting in some chic '30s cocktail lounge, head (with that outrageous hat on it) held high while her friends chaff her about her unfaithful love. She reaches up to brush the smoke or tears from her eyes and pretends to laugh away a remark that was much too personal.
When Kiri sustains a note, she does something with it. She doesn't just sit on it à la Pavrotti and let us admire her beautiful voice. She interprets every nuance of the lyrics, unlike some of my very favorite opera singers who don't cross over into popular music very well, e.g. Domingo, Ramey, Norman, and Dame Joan.
Te Kawana fans, unless you already own all four of the albums mentioned above, this CD is definitely worth your while. Kern and Gershwin enthusiasts will also find interpretations to treasure.
Top Performance.......1999-06-16
I have only just purchased this CD, and I'm in love with it already! Kiri's voice is so incredibly versatile, that you are just STUNNED by her ability to sing Gershwin, Kern and others like a jazz singer. She's incredible, and so's the recording. I'd recommend it to anyone, as Kiri's best CD outside of her West Side Story and full opera performance CD's. Her duet with Malcom O'Neill is amazing, and the way she interperets Gershwin's hits is so neat - far better than I've ever heard. The only SLIGHT moan I would have is that in one or two of the songs, she is a little to far away from the mic, and the orchestra are a little loud. But considering how great she sounds - does it matter? Make this your next Kiri CD purchase.
