“RRS-One”
KRS-One
- Jive
Grade: A
For a rapper to make it to his
seventh album is nothing short of
phenomenal. For KRS-One, it’s
just another link in his hip hop
chain.
Not since the Boogie Down Pro
ductions debut “Criminal Minded”
in 1986 has KRS been as on point
as of late. Although “By Any
Means Necessary” got much re
spect, the years to follow came at
KRS with harsh criticism.
It seemed the Blastmaster had
fallen off, until 1993, when, with
the help of Gang Starr’s DJ Pre
mier, and rid of the defunked BDP,
KRS made his comeback with “Re
turn of the Boom Bap”.
The comeback is now complete
with the self-titled “KRS-ONE”.
DJ Premier is still here along with
the new BDP crew, KRS’s pet
projects Mad Lion and Channel
Live.
Two sides of KRS are repre
sented here, the Blastmaster,
knocking out all other MCs, and
the teacher, dropping knowledge to
[ educate.
On the more raw, battle MC side
begins “Rappaz R N Danja” that
sets the record straight right away.
This is the first of the Premier pro
duced tracks that feature big bass
beats in the minimalist style the
KRS loves.
The first single, “MCs Act Like
They Don’t Know,” is another Pre
mier joint along the same lines as
“Rappa.”
s Changing styles, KRS drops
“De Automatic,” with fellow
Bronx-native Fat Joe, that gets
backed with a freaky outer space
wah wah, the slow loping “Ah
Yeah,” and “Represent the Real
Hip Hop,” a track done with Das
EFX, and also appearing on their
new album.
Side two to the KRS-One per
sona finds “R.E.A.L.I.T.Y.” or
“Rhymes Equal Actual Life In The
Youth,” a positive message about
hip hop as part of the urban cul
ture.
The preachiest part of the
teacher spouts “The Truth,” a track
which may shock some Christians.
“What if Jesus Christ were hung
upon a tree?/Up on every church
wall that’s exactly what you’d see/
If Jesus Christ was shot with no
respect/We would all have little
guns hung around our neck.”
The new BDP crew Mad Lion
and Channel Live show up for
guest spots, as do Busta Rhymes
and Sadat X. There appear to be
almost as many guest tracks as so
los for KRS.
The biggest detracting point is
the 38 (yes 38) shout outs from
friends of KRS-One. From radio
DJs to old school pioneers, these
hellos are built into the tracks
themselves so you can’t even skip
them.
Despite the distractions, “KRS
One” is full of the music you al
ways hoped would come from the
Blastmaster.

“plastic planet”
g//z/r
TVT Records
- Grade: F+
Hell, they tried.
If you like Black Sabbath and
have been wondering what ever
happened to the guitarist, wonder
no more. Geezer Butler, the origi
nal guitarist of Black Sabbath, has
formed his own band, g//z/r.
Yuck.
This is metal at its worst. Its
absolute worst.
Considering that Butler is a gui
tarist, one would think he could
come up with more original guitar
riffs than what the album contains.
All three of them.
Maybe the first clue that this
\ -
was miserable was the fact that the
vocalist was even worse than Rob
Zombie, and that in itself is pretty
bad.
Throw in the fact that these lyr
ics could have been written by a 7
year-old with a large vocabulary
and you start to wonder why any
one even bothered with this
project. There’s no depth here; ev- *
crything is as superficial as it
seems.
Butler needs Ozzy Osbourne if
he wants to have talent. The fact
of the matter is that Butler has no
ability to form a song. Everything
on “plastic planet” sounds exactly,
and let’s stress that, EXACTLY the
same.
You might get a moment’s
worth of enjoyment from “plastic
planet,” but it’s doubtful. Very
doubtful.
The plus on the “F” was for the
cool cover.

“Here’s Where the Strings Come
In”
Superchunk
Merge Records
Grade: A
The problem with expectations
is that once you have them, chances
are they’ll never be met. Such is the
case with Superchunk. Ever since
the opening drums to “Skip Steps 1
& 3,” I’ve been waiting for another
“No Pocky” album.
I’m still waiting.
But that is not to say that the
group’s efforts since punk broke
have not been substantial. “On the
Mouth” and “Foolish” are definite
triumphs. More emotionally charged
and expansive, Superchunk’s current
power pop is die result of evolution.
Most of the same stuff is still there.
Unfortunately, Mac McCaughn s
voice is less hidden by the instru
ments as in the past. It seems the
slack motherf—ers of college rock
have grown up.
Maturation is not necessarily bad.
A typical Superchunk album follows
just as much a formula as an epi
sode of “Fantasy Island,” which is
not to suggest that it is therefore
stale. Because when the ingredients
are mixed properly, the potion is
highly intoxicating. This is where
“Strings” comes in.
Guitar hooks, stellar drums,
punk wailing and pop choruses
populate tracks like “Hyper
Enough,” “Detroit Has a Skyline,”
and “Certain Stars,” which more or
less sum up the inspiration that
people like Eric Bachman explain
to Spin interviewers.
Whatever the case, the record
sounds dynamite, and, while it isn’t
circa 1991 stuff, at least we have
something to tap our toes to while
we wait.
