Title: It's just like a greatest hits album
Review: When I bought the album back in '87 I was just 13 years of age and first I couldn't understand the style of this music. I listened to HipHop before - to artists like Two Live Crew, World Class Wreckin' Cru, L.L. Cool J (who was also "hard" but different from BDP of course) etc. but Criminal Minded made me a little more open minded, suddenly I had the feeling that I could understand a philosophy in it. KRS One never disappointed me up to this day with any of his albums. Tracks like "THE BRIDGE IS OVER", "SOUTH BRONX" etc. are still getting me freaked out today but the one that changed my mind already was "POETRY". It has the most powerful beats and lyrics on the album. The most truest defining of what a rapper should be and say. Buy it and keep it - it's a treasure since 1987. Also look for ULTRAMAGNETIC MC's and ERIC B. & RAKIM
Is the review positive or negative?
