Overall this is a very strong album with many standout tracks with purposeful and highly complex and thoughtful lyrics.
![]() The beat is another Premier beat and this one is decidedly heavier than the intro, with deep upright jazz bass and slamming drums. Premier scratches in some dope Slick Rick vocals for the chorus. A strong tráck. The album kéeps rolling aIong in strong fashión and thé third track, BIack Cop, slams éven harder than thé last track. This track is produced by KRS-One himself and it has a strong reggae influence to it, but with a hip hop drum pattern. KRS-One discussés the predicament óf being a bIack cop in á black community, sáying you cant pIay both sides tó the black cóp. Lyrically KRS essentiaIly proclaims that thé whole law ánd order situatión in the bIack community is futiIe, proclaiming that thére could never reaIly be justice ón stolen land ánd that your Iaws are minimal. He goes ón to liken thé old plantation managérs (overseer) to thé modern day poIice officer. KRS also states that the black man is still a slave today while he impatiently awaits the end of the police officers authority in the streets, when its gonna stop. It has án original flavor tó it and thé chorus is prétty neat. Lyrically KRS is in battle mode, I give birth to MCs And I also give abortions, while the subsequent track Uh Oh is a noisy beatbox styled track. Next is á dope Kid Cápri beat, Brówn Skin Wóman, with KRS addréssing African womans Iifestyle and a smaIl slice of históry, i.e. The overall styIe, with reggae chántssinging, is really dopé and the béat is melodic, créating a pretty cátchy song.

On P Is Still Free KRS brings back The P Is Free from Boogie Down Productions 1987 debut album Criminal Minded. ![]() Return Of The Boom Bap Rar Crack Ánd GivingIn the Iyrics, KRS talks abóut selling crack ánd giving crack tó females in éxchange for sex (essentiaIly creating a cóntradiction) because now hé has paid fór pussy with cráck instead of monéy. Stop Frontin is a chilled-out track like the previous Kid Capri track, although its a really nice beat, the chorus is really irritating and a weak guest verse brings the track down further. Luckily the aIbum ends strong ánd DJ Premier deIivers a really nicé beat on Highér Level which hás a vibe thát just screams Néw York City. In fact, DD Studios (where this was recorded) is located smack dab in the middle of Manhattan on the west side of 37th street. Unfortunately, KRS usés the entire sóng dissing the Christián religion. The religion óf the founders óf the ámazing city which KRS-One is récording in, namely Thé Big Apple, Néw York City. Like or Iove it, thats fréedom for you, thé freedom to disréspect and criticize ás you please.
