Boogie Down Productions: Criminal Minded Vinyl 2LP

Boogie Down Productions' debut album 'Criminal Minded' is a true gem in hip - hop history. In 1987, it was revolutionary, bringing dancehall from the New York underground to the hip - hop mainstream. With powerful drums throughout, tracks like 'South Bronx' are anthems, and 'The Bridge is Over' settled the Bronx vs. Queens debate. 'Super - Hoe' got rediscovered in '99 and influenced later tracks like 'Definition' by Black Star. 'Criminal Minded' is a banger, and it's hard to imagine modern hip - hop without Scott La Rock's contributions. This black double vinyl pressing comes in a gatefold sleeve with detailed liner notes. Originally released in 1987, it's now re - issued by B - Boy Records in 2024. Even with the AC/DC sample on 'Dope Beat' (which we actually like), it's a top ten hip - hop album of all time.

Using this vinyl is easy. Just place it on your turntable, gently lower the needle onto the record, and enjoy the amazing hip - hop sounds. When handling the vinyl, make sure your hands are clean to avoid getting dirt on the record, which can affect the sound quality. After use, carefully put the vinyl back into its gatefold sleeve to protect it from scratches. Store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. If you notice any dust on the vinyl, use a soft record brush to gently clean it before playing.
