the reputation of boogie down productions leader krs one began to slip in the early 90s as he spent more time educating than performing he hit back at his critics with the slamming return of the boom bap his first official solo release leaving behind the detailed production of the last bdp album sex and violence boom bap returns the mc to the spare gritty territory of criminal minded krs one sounds reinvigorated as well spitting out his rhymes with fury and intelligence although the record isn t as didactic as edutainment or sex and violence krs one hasn t made his lyrics simplistic nor has he abandoned his cutting intelligent social commentary the combination of hard basic beats and exciting rhymes makes return of the boom bap a genuine comeback for krs one one of the founding figures of modern hip hop
