Boogie Down Productions – “Duck Down” (Alternative Version)

Picture 1 

Not just a different beat, but the bonus verse makes the Alternative Version to KRS-ONE’s classic spit “Duck Down” for Boogie Down Productions all that and then some (90s slang for this Golden Era flip)! Got to give Unkut.com the credit for unearthing this gem…

‘More BDP action with this vinyl rip from Rob Pursey of Southern Hospitality. Apparently the UK pressing of the “Duck Down” 12″ features an alternative version of the Pal Joey produced track, despite being labeled as the “LP Version.” Sporting a looser deliver from KRS, an extra bassline and an extra verse going at X-Clan, which would later end-up as part of “Build and Destroy,” from the same LP. Was there some kind of fuck up and an early demo version of “Duck Down” was pressed up for the British audience, or did the Jive UK office just prefer this version? Regardless, it’s more greatness from the third best BDP album, and therefore essential listening.’
