Boogie Down Productions was one of the most important and influential hip-hop groups of the latter half of the '80s. Led by the often brilliant and incendiary MC KRS-One, BDP were pioneers of both hardcore and political (or "conscious") rap -- and if that seems contradictory, it also illustrates the scope of KRS-One's talent for chronicling and even shaping his culture. Musically, BDP usually employed spare, minimal backdrops that accentuated KRS-One's booming delivery, and they were also among the very first hip-hop artists to incorporate elements of Jamaican ragga and dancehall into their style.

Love this track...Flava!!!

Nah! I think KRS was just looking to bury as many rappers that remotely said something unsavory. I never saw what Cube said as a diss. "Self destruction don't pay the f**kin' rent", was his way of saying he still needs to survive. It sounded aggressive cos he swore, which was his mistake.
-
@PrAnG2000 The part I quoted would make more sense about D-Nice than it would Cube. The first verse (and probably the whole song except the one part) is probably about Cube. What I don't get is why Cube would dis "Self Destruction", but was down with PE and was himself a conscious rapper.
-
I don't think it's about D Nice, it's directed at Ice Cube for what he once said about the Stop The Violence Movement.
-
@MasterChee7 This was around the time KRS was cleaning house with BDP. D-Nice had the song called "Time To Flow" that was produced by Kay Gee (I think) and featured Treach. The beat sounded very similar to Naughty's "Guard Your Grill", and D's verse sounded like Treach wrote it.

@rcole718 can you elaborate? did someone dis d nice?
-
"I get my style from KRS One, you biting Treach." I just realized that this line was about D-Nice.
