Episode 64: Boogie Down Productions

This week we're talking about KRS-One's Boogie Down Productions. These guys (or guy) helped to pioneer hip-hop, in addition to a more cerebral and educational approach to the genre. KRS-One, who's had a lengthy and successful solo career, is just as much an educator and philosopher as he is a rapper. Regardless of how you feel about his politics, BDP were quite distinct and helped propel hip-hop into the diverse genre that it is now.

Closing track: "Duck Down" from Sex and Violence (1992)
