Hip-Hop Albums of the Year

KRS-One — King of the Ol' Skool


This 2008 mixtape is by far the worst release in Knowledge Reigns Supreme Over Nearly Everybody's discography. I assume it was something promotional in view of one of his LPs released in the same year or maybe it's a casual release. Musically inaccessible, with a disastrous choice of rhythms, lyrically irrelevant, this mixtape is a mess from start to finish, it sounds just like it never should have seen the light of day. Parker proclaims himself the king of the old school, and as much as questionable this claim may be or even just what old school actually is and whether this performer is really part of it, this release doesn't prove it, on the contrary, it makes you believe this is your half-crazy friend spitting some freestyle in your building, that everyone make fun of for some reason. One of the worst tapes of the decade, skip it. Rating: 1/10.
