KRS-One & Buckshot - Clean Up Crew
Artist: KRS-One & Buckshot
Featuring: Heltah Skeltah
Producer: illmind
Album: Survival Skills
Label: Duckdown Records
KRS-One and Buckshot’s new album Survival Skills does better than merely survive, it inflicts the kind of lyrical damage only truly dope emcees are capable of inflicting. The album’s last song to be featured on DJBooth is Clean Up Crew, a banger that I previously described as “the album’s grimiest.” With typically muscular verses from, KRS, Buckshot and feature artist Rock of Heltah Skeltah (if only Sean Price was part of the crew), and production worthy of a military operation from illmind, Clean Up Crew gives hip-hop a much need clean sweep. If only wack hip-hop could really be washed away so easily. Survival Skills was released Sept. 15, on Duck Down Records and is available in stores and online now.
This song first appeared on the
Independent Chart
on September 28, 2009

 This is indeed one of the album's "grimiest" tracks. And you know what? I like grimey. N.O.R.E used to do "grimey" real well, as does Heltah Skeltah. For KRS and Buck, this is a walk in the park.
My score? They knock it out the park.

Their album is amazing so naturally this track is straight crazy! Lyrics and production by illmind are perfect. KRS-One and Buckshot have a classic on their hands. Great track, great album. Yeah...

They may call him old, but how many rappers would be willing to battle KRS? There aren't many. Add in Rock and Buckshot and this track is a beast.

I like this track but 3 stars is all I could give it. KRS is a beast on the mic always has always will be.

Appropriately titled because lyricism on display by these artists outshines many of their peers.

'Clean Up Crew'- A subject i don't understand- although the beat bangs it gets very repetitive know what i'm sayin'.

Diggin': EVERYTHING. KRS and Buckshot are LEGENDS, Rock does well here, and as a closet classical music aficionado, I'm REALLY diggin' the string sample (Sounds like NFL Films music-if it were me on the beat, I'd spit about the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field!)
Not Diggin': Not a damn thing. |

HA "Guess who's the quicker picker-upper" Best line of the song! Another banger, man this week is dope. The production is dark and heavy on this track which is where KRS does best, and as always his lyrics are crazy.
