Krs One didn't get noticed
This was the best hip hop album i've ever heard and what makes me mad is that the legendary Krs didn't get noticed because of his looks, but his lyrical talent is what should be noticed bacause by far he remains the greatest lyrical rapper ever, and some other great lyrical rappers who don't get noticed that much like Keith Murray, Mos Def, Skee Lo and Dead Prez should because they are the revolutions of hip hop, and if the game is interested in looks more than talent, then hip hop is dead. But nontheless, this is the man that inspired many known rappers today, including LL Cool J, Jay Z, Nas, Twista, Public Enemy etc and in my point of view is the greatest rapper alive. So if you like hip hop, Krs One, fresh tracks and collaberations, this album has it all, the legendary Krs One will forever remain the greatest lyrical rapper in the world, no one can reach his level.
Krs-One, Two, Three, Four And Five
Krs has never been the type to follow trends or fads, he just continue to bring us that classic hip-hop. I Got Next is another lp where Kris gives us a variety of lyrical styles like the title "Over Ya Head". This track is a jazz fusion of horns with a gritty drum beat underneath. The free throws and commentaries were a good touch to the album as well, despite other artists using horrible interludes between their music. The repitious use of the phrase "...who am I? The emcee..." on the first song or track 3 "The MC" flowed well over the Domingo produced east coast type beat. "Just To Prove A Point" is a live rock song that quiets during the hook and seem to fit in the equation Krs-One calculated. On the sleeves it has 18 tracks listed, but there are actually 19 with "Step Into A World (Rapture's Delight) (Remix)" featuring P. Diddy and turned out to be a good club/party song. "Real Hip-Hop- Part II" could have been done without Mic Vandalz and "Heartbeat" could have been left completely out. I Got Next is not quite the classic to get a five star rating, but Krs got a lot to offer on this One.
Weakest of KRS-ONE's efforts, saved by "A Friend"
I would never diss a KRS record, but this one was just a typical superstar-experimentation CD that we've all heard our favorite artists do. Track 17, "Just to Prove a Point" is EMBARRASSING! That's not KRS-ONE, and that's not hip-hop. However, Track 7, "A Friend", features the illest production on the album. I don't know what the spotlight reviewer said about it being weakly produced. It's probably one of the best tracks I've ever heard dropped by the Blastmaster. If you want this album, purchase it for that track and enjoy the rest.
