ReviewsRolling Stone (11/25/93, p.120) - 3.5 Stars - Good Plus - "...on RETURN OF THE BOOM BAP, KRS-One wears his past proudly...when it comes to rhyming skills, he has few rivals....It's a mighty B-Boy stance..." Entertainment Weekly (10/15/93, p.76) - "...[RETURN OF THE BOOM BAP is] KRS-One's most consistently and convincingly thumping album in recent memory..." - Rating: B+ Q (11/93, p.125) - 3 Stars - Good - "...[RETURN OF THE BOOM BAP's] relentless lecture is lightened here and there by the funky musical vibe of the otherwise harrowing `I Can't Get Up'..." Vibe (10/93, p.107) - "...RETURN OF DA BOOM BAP shakes and moves like a celebration on the verge of chaos...with urgent, intense phrasing, the album brings back the inspirational, way-phat B-boy Parker has been all along..." The Source (11/93, p.82) - 4 Stars - Slammin' - "...[RETURN OF THE BOOM BAP] is a treat: not only does KRS-One rip it up on the mic, [but] his whole sound seems rejuvenated..."

NME (Magazine) (9/25/93, p.36) - (8) - Excellent - "...RETURN OF THE BOOM BAP is an uncompromising, varied broadside from a man taking stock of his life and those around him--and finding everyone wanting...this is a remarkable, defiant 55 minutes of pleasure..."
Additional informationProducers include: DJ Premier, KRS-One, Adam Kudzin, Norty Cotto, Kid Capri. Engineers: Norty Cotto, Adam Kudzin, Eddie Sancho. Recorded at D & D Recording and Battery Studios, New York, New York. Although BDP had basically been a vehicle for KRS' solo vision at least since EDUTAINMENT, RETURN OF THE BOOM BAP is the first full-length release under his own name. As such it marks a significant turning point in his career, effectively stating that even if CRIMINAL MINDED had secured him old-school legend status, KRS was in fact the first new school emcee. Along with Rakim and a handful of others, he took rap away from elaborate call-and-response delivery of fairly simple rhymes towards a soliloquy of complex rhyme schemes and original metaphors. Consistent enough that he never had to worry about whether or not to call it a come-back, KRS nevertheless covered his bets by enlisting the new school's most innovative producer (DJ Premier) to complement his own beats on this solo debut.
