Pressed on 180G Orange Colored Vinyl 

In its history, Hip Hop has had a handful of stand-out years. And for many true fans there is little debate that 1988 was the true Golden Era. Countless classic albums came out that year, and Boogie Down Productions' By Any Means Necessary ranks high atop that list.

Following the fatal shooting of the group's DJ/Producer Scott La Rock in 1987, KRS One was determined to continue BDP despite the tragedy. Taking the group in a slightly different direction, adopting the moniker Teacher and taking on social issues, KRS crafted an album that to this day still sounds fresh and exciting. From the moment the album starts with the infectious saxophone sample on "My Philosophy" or the Reggae influenced "Stop the Violence" to the straight-up braggadocio "I'm Still #1", By Any Means Necessary proves why its one of the most important and classic albums ever recorded. Other stand out tracks include Illegal Business which is a look at how the drug trade corrupts the police and government, while Jimmy warns us to the pit falls of a big butt and a smile.

Just based on the album's cover alone, an ode to the famous Ebony Magazine Malcolm X photograph, By Any Means Necessary was able to make one of the biggest statements in Hip Hop history that is just as important today as it was in 88…or as KRS says, Fresh for 88 you suck-azzzz.

By All Means Necessary is an essential and definitive BDP and KRS album. It marks the moment where KRS wasn’t just concerned with being a great emcee but a teacher, too, continuing his exploration of sociopolitical subjects on BDP’s following three albums, as well as throughout his solo career.

Great quality.
Size: 8.5, Color: Brown
Bought these shoes at the last minute for my husband to wear to an event. They arrived overnight and did not disappoint. They are true to size, high quality, lightweight, and they look great on. Can be worn with jeans to a casual event or with slacks to a more formal event . He loves them and said they are extremely comfortable.

Perfect Shoes Work & Happy Hour!
Size: 13 Wide, Color: Blue, Size: 13 Wide, Color: Blue
Working downtown again and occasionally someone will invite me out for Happy Hour after work. So I needed nice shoes for Summer that could take me from my law office to the speakeasy. These are comfy. The little air holes are great for letting out the heat of everyday walking to and from work without being noticeable. My feet can breathe! I'm a size 13 wide and they feel nice, light, with room to spare if I wanted to wear little thicker dress socks or some crew type socks w them. They tie up easy, wipe off fine if I get them a bit muddy in the backyard before work taking out the garbage and they look darn good w out breaking the bank!

9-5 go to Shoe
Size: 9, Color: Black
Shoes arrived today. My knocks on them are the laces and the warmth (my feet soaked only after 4 hours of wear.) but for the price and discount that's currently being offered, no one can beat it. I was in desperate need of new shoes for my office job because my current ones were torn and color faded due to wear and tear, the two pairs that I bought are very stylish, comfortable, and the bottoms are durable and slip resistant. I was also surprised that they're true to size. I wear sneakers and these in size nine.

Comfort and excellent bang for your buck
Size: 10 Wide, Color: Brown
These are incredibly comfortable. I bought them for work, and as someone who works in IT, I'm on my feet a lot, and often crouching down or leaning in awkward positions, and these have been awesome for me. I've never felt they were uncomfortable. They seem to be pretty good quality too, though I am seeing slight creases where I do end up bending my feet while doing my job, but I have already considered buying another pair (and not because of that, just to have another color). I even had a teenage kid say 'nice shoes' to me the other day, and I've had other positive comments from coworkers as well.

Nice looking Shoes
Size: 9, Color: Brown
These shoes are very nice. I never heard of the name Bruno Marc before, but I will say the shoes are extremely comfortable, and they look like similar high end shoes at the fraction off the cost. Very light and durable.
