"
By All Means Necessary
is often discussed like it's some departure from
Criminal Minded
. The moment
KRS
turned into 'The Teacha' and became a politically minded, socially conscious wordsmith. In reality, this is who he already was. Misunderstanding and tragedy is what compelled him to not only refocus on the role he wanted to play in hip-hop, but create an album that gave way to a very important movement in hip-hop, too.
By All Means Necessary
is an essential and definitive
BDP
and KRS album. It marks the moment where KRS wasn't just concerned with being a great emcee but a teacher, too, continuing his exploration of sociopolitical subjects on BDP's following three albums, as well as throughout his solo career. Boogie Down Productions' revolutionary sophomore album. Lacquers cut by Cicely Balston, AIR Mastering. Pressed on 180 gram orange vinyl. Listening notes booklet by Elijah Watson."
