I didn't mean to write a book or anything, but aye.you asked. KRS and Rakim are the Top 2 on MANY lists of serious Hip Hop fans. True.both of them have had their times when they releases lackluster products, but their skills stayed on point and consistent with the game. They didn't just flow.but they made you THINK while they did it. Hip Hop was pretty much about partying and having fun, but these two brought added consciousness to it. Artists new that ante had been upped, so they couldn't come back with the simple style that was the staple point of rap. With songs like "The Bridge Is Over", "Criminal Minded", and "South Bronx", BDP was turning New York upside down.Īfter these two, the game went into its 2nd transition. They were both innovators in their own right. Rakim kinda set off this new style of lyricism and KRS dropped a lyrical style that was even more complex. But when they dropped the album "Criminal Minded", no time before did an emcee in New York paint vivid pictures of grimy street tales. Boogie Down Productions had been known by local fans because of underground cuts.and especially since DJ KRS ONE used to battle constantly against MC Shan and the Juice Crew from Queensbridge. That same year, a crew from the South Bronx dropped their first album. ![]() When the album "Paid In Full" was was an instant classic. ![]() There was a mixed reaction because Ra's style wasn't "the norm", but overall.he was a huge success (I didn't like him for a good while.but I then recognized the truth ). Their style was "different", but everybody STILL "sounded" the same.īut in 1986 that all changed when an underground crew called Eric B and Rakim dropped "Eric B For President".People went crazy! Rakim's voice was nothing like anything that had been heard before and his lyrical wordplay was like that of a poet. Many artists who came after them tried to aquire a style similar to Run Dmc's.even some artists that had ALREADY been out. They pretty much caused the first major transition in Hip Hop. It's one thing to do something different, but it's another when that difference is better than anything out. Many people today don't realize, but their style was fresh and brand new. Rap took a leap forward when RUN DMC came out. Different emcees had their own signature styling but nothing really differed from each other. Well.in the 70's and early 80's, rap was rapidly expanding but as a whole, it pretty much sounded the same (which wasn't a problem). ![]()
