South Bronx (song)

"South Bronx" is a song by American hip hop group Boogie Down Productions, released as the lead single from their debut studio album Criminal Minded (1987). The song's title references New York City's South Bronx area, and is one of the earliest homages to an MC's hometown.

History
KRS-One reports that Kool DJ Red Alert played the song three times in a row and that the crowd was very engaged. The song had an influence on the new jack swing genre. ==Composition==
Composition
The song samples "Get Up Offa That Thing" and does so through the use of a sampler, where the horn bar is available in several different pitches. Eleven different pitches are used throughout the recording including the actual one, 7 of which were used altogether to create a threatening effect. The song also samples "Funky Drummer" and "Get Up, Get Into It, Get Involved" by James Brown, as well as "Let's Get Small" by Trouble Funk. ==References==
