Boogie Down Productions

Boogie Down Productions was a hip hop group that was originally composed of KRS-One, D-Nice, and DJ Scott La Rock. DJ Scott La Rock was murdered on August 27, 1987, months after the release of BDP's debut album, Criminal Minded. The name of the group, Boogie Down, derives from a nickname for the South Bronx section of The Bronx, one of the five boroughs of New York City. The group pioneered the fusion of dancehall reggae and hip hop music and their debut LP Criminal Minded contained frank descriptions of life in the South Bronx of the late 1980s thus setting the stage for what would eventually become gangsta rap. more »

 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

I've been taught to respect my elders and behave 
Even if when they were young they sold slaves 
Truth and understandin' is what I crave 
In the land of the thief  home of the slave 

Turn your page to a brief demonstration 
'Cause now in '90 it's strictly information I'm givin' 
Teachin' on a regular basis 
Today's lecture is about The Racist 

We're not out to exaggerate or diss him 
But show the symptoms and facts of racism 
Understand The Racist ain't equal 
There's about five different types of racist people 

First of the five different types of cases 
Is the individual brought up racist 
Here you have young men and women 
Brought up in the Great White Way opinion 

This opinion introduced by the parent 
To the civilized becomes transparent 
The civilized man could look through the faces 
Make the analysis and see The Racist 

Number two case which y'all must hear 
Is the individual racist out of fear 
Here you have people that fear the African 
And conjure up new ways of trappin' him 

Number three is the unconscious racist 
Not knowin' they're racist they invade your spaces 
They say, "I'm not a racist, I'm not a bigot" 
Yet they allow it to go on and won't admit it 

Number four is the money racist 
The one that used the topics of sheer economics 
They say, "Owning a business isn't for the black man 
He don't want that", yet they went and took his land 

Damn, that's like a rock in a hard place 
You don't have your land yet this ain't your space 
America was built by every other race 
Except the European that runs this place 

What a waste, America's doomed 
To be overthrown by the righteous real soon 
But last but not least racial prejudice 
Is the black man speakin' out of ignorance 

Whitey this and Ching-Chow that 
Is not how the intelligent man acts 
You can't blame the whole white race 
For slavery, 'cause this ain't the case 

A large sum of white people died with black 
Tryin' hard to fight racial attacks 
The media wants you to think that no whites 
Really fought and died for Civil Rights 

But once we have a true sense of history 
You'll see this too as a mystery 
If black and white didn't argue the most 
They could clearly see the government's screwin' 'em both.
