Bout time...Primo and KRS-1 working on an album

blessingindisguise · Post by **blessingindisguise** » Tue Feb 23, 2010 3:02 am

In 1993, after five studio albums under the name of Boogie Down Productions, KRS-One released the first album under his solo name, Return of the Boom Bap. Released on Jive Records, the album debuted at #37 on the charts, and prompted hits like the Showbiz-produced "Sound Of Da Police" and the DJ Premier-produced "Outta Here." The Gang Starr beat-king produced seven of the album's 14 tracks, as its remembered as one of The Teacha's finest solo offerings.

Over 16 years later, DJ Premier and KRS-One are said to be at work at Return of the Boom Bip. The album, reportedly coming on Premier's Year Round Records, may serve as a sequel. During NBA All-Star Weekend, during an event sponsored by 944 Magazine, Premier spoke to Examiner.com about the underway recordings.

"It's going to be one of the illest albums of 2010," said the legendary producer. Q-Tip, Grand Puba and Ice-T are already confirmed guests on the album. HipHopDX will keep you updated of more as it happens. The two last worked together on "Classic" with Kanye West, Rakim and Nas for a Nike campaign, and an update of "Criminal Minded" for a similar beverage campaign.

In related news, DJ Premier is presently working on albums with MC Eiht, NYGz, Big Shug and Nick Javas. Last year, KRS-One did a collaboration album with Black Moon's Buckshot called Survival Skills.

I agree, this would have been great once upon a time. But I haven't heard a dope KRS ONE verse in yearssssss. All I hear him rap about is how HE IS HIP HOP and HIP HOP IS LIFE and HE'S BEEN AROUND SINCE THE BEGINNING! Shit's tired as fuck. Premier stays makin hot beats though, so maybe he can make him listenable? might be wishful thinking.

MMM, JUSTICE!

KRS has been lurking outside Premier's studio for a long time. Finally he was let in.

it's not really called return of the boom bip is it
anyway im still interested. krs may have fallen off but premier hasn't. maybe working with the best producer will inspire him. he still drops dope shit once in a while so im optimistic.

I really thought I was going to come in here and voice an unpopular opinion. Wrong again. KRS is as boring as shit.

krs-one is an awesome person to random azn fanboy strangers who gush over his presence in an adjacent booth in a random restaurant

he gave me a free copy of his new hip hop bible book and signed it and wrote a message to me using my name

I'd rather have the Nas and DJ Premier album that never happened.

Doesn't make any sense.

As for premier and krs, it makes sense from krs' perspective but I just don't understand why premier would do this.

As much as I wanted to say that, its wishful thinking.
