Description: When KRS-One refers to himself as the Alan Greenspan of hip-hop on "The Movement," he's really not that far off. Much like Greenspan, he foresees the boom and bust of his own culture and is not afraid to make bold predictions concerning its fate. On Kristyles, rap's moral barometer takes a break from failed gospel-rap experiments and from dissing innocuous emcees like Nelly in order to clean up the rap game. The scathing indictments begin on "Ya Feel Dat," where he chants "gold, diamonds, platinum I give to my wife/y'see diamonds are a girl's best friend, not mine." Over rolling bass lines he philosophically slaps materialistic emcees upside their jewelry-plated heads on "Gunnen' Em Down." As is the case with all KRS albums the beats with the most boom bap are the ones not supplied by him or his crew; DJ Revolution's "Things Will Change" and Da Beatminerz "Underground" stand out. Outside of a few unoriginal forays ("Survivin'" does a disservice to Brand Nubian's "One for All" backing track), Kristyles is enjoyable--yet, it could have been a classic. As with many of the album's immediate predecessors, the near-genius flows and concepts overpower terribly average beats. Even at his worst, KRS-One is light years ahead of the rap pack, but can someone please two-way Pete Rock and DJ Premier for beats? --Dalton Higgins

Reviews:

dont buy this!!!!!!!!

whatever you do dont buy this album, koch records released it without kris' consent he even went to the trouble of sueing them over it. he urges his fans to download it instead of giving more money to the record company. when you do download it you will notice many of the tracks have scratches, crackles, fizzing etc. this is because the album was unfinished! wait until august 28th when krs releases the proper album, The Kristyle. it will have 20 tracks, with a slightly different tracklisting to this unofficial version. also the quality is top-notch ;-)

Fresh for 2003

This album is incredible. Even the production is great. Many on this page complain it's not up-to-date, but they probably just mean it's not glossy and overproduced like most of today's mainstream rap. The beats are raw and stripped back, which fits the emcee to a tee. The lyrics are the best in the industry, with the arguable exception of Chuck.

The most amazing part is, this is not even the whole album! Koch released it before KRS was finished. I wish I had known this before I bought it, but even in its incomplete form it blows everything else on the market away. In it's current form, it hasn't left my CD player in the week since I bought it. In fact, I burned a few copies so there will always be one in my car, always one in the walkman, always one at work, basically in every CD player own. When the whole album ("The Kristyle") comes out August 28th, you can expect it to be the best hip-hop album ever made, with the possible exception of "Nation of Millions."

So don't buy this one (unless yuou think it will be a collector's item since KRS had further production blocked) but DEFINITELY buy THE KRISTYLE.

If you liked This you will Love Revolutions

This is not tha version that was supposed to have been released, but it has its moments. There is a remix for "Underground" that you can only get on the Priest Revolutions CD at www.priestforever.net featuring Priest,(Who appears throughout tha Kristyles album though uncredited)KRS ONE, and Koran Carlos of Tha Big East. It's kinda sick. True Hip Hop heads will love it. You should cop it
