About

Though KRS-One didn’t become famous until the late '80s and early '90s, he was old enough to remember the rap culture of the '70s, when live performance was as important to a rapper’s career as recordings. By the time <i>Live Hardcore Worldwide</i> came out in 1991, KRS was already known as one of hip-hop's best live acts, an accolade that only became more important in the following decades. Recorded in 1990 at concerts in New York, Paris, and London, the raucous atmosphere captured on <i>Live Hardcore Worldwide</i> is deeply informed by the dancehall culture of Jamaica, where using a voice to command the attention of an impatient audience is of paramount significance. While many musical artists require high-end acoustics for their music to be accurately translated in concert, the cold echoes and boxlike spatial dynamics of rock venues only served to enhance the bare-bones beats of Boogie Down Productions. In some instances, the live versions of these songs feel truer than their cleaner studio counterparts.
