Boogie Down Productions – By All Means Necessary

$54.95 Inc. GST

Released in 1988, “By All Means Necessary” marked a turning point for Boogie Down Productions. Following the tragic loss of DJ Scott La Rock, KRS-One, now adopting the moniker “The Teacher,” steered the group towards a more socially conscious direction. Gone were the braggadocious rhymes of their debut; instead, “By All Means Necessary” became a potent commentary on the struggles faced by Black communities in America.

The album’s title and cover art, referencing Malcolm X’s iconic image and message, set the tone for the powerful narratives KRS-One unfolds. Backed by minimalist production and hard-hitting beats, his lyrics tackle a range of issues, from police brutality and government corruption to drug addiction and violence within the hip hop scene itself.
