Released in 1997. Obi strip included. Case and disc have some scratches, but playback is not affected. Includes Japanese liner notes and lyrics translation. Also features a family tree created by Hiroshi Ekaitzu. The 3rd album from '97, still exploding with Teacher's style! This album includes "Step Into A World" (also a remix!), which was a hit at the time and was played on the floor every day. Featuring Angie Martinez on "Heartbeat," this controversial work sparked debate about selling out! Later, KRS-One himself reflected on this period, admitting he "wanted a hit" (!), but in a sense, KRS-One's edutainment blossomed on this album. While going all out with big samples on "Heartbeat" with Angie Martinez and "Step Into A World" (Remix) featuring Puff Daddy (now Diddy), he also released "The MC" as a single, preaching his MC philosophy, and included a sequel to the classic "Real Hip Hop," making this one of the most balanced works in his career, blending mainstream appeal and core hip-hop values! This is also a classic! HIPHOP classic Boogie Down Production DJ Premier Gang Starr
