== Members == BDP's membership changed throughout its existence, the only constant being [[KRS-One]].<ref name="Precise80">{{cite book|title=[[Encyclopedia of Popular Music|The Virgin Encyclopedia of Eighties Music]]|editor-first=Colin|editor-last=Larkin|editor-link=Colin Larkin (writer)|publisher=[[Virgin Books]]|location=New York City|date=2003|edition=Third|isbn=1-85227-969-9|pages=78/9}}</ref> The group was founded by KRS-One and DJ Scott La Rock, with producer Lee Smith, who was essential in the production of the songs on ''Criminal Minded'', being added as a member shortly after.<ref name="Precise80" /> From those beginnings, BDP members and collaborators included [[Ced Gee]] of [[Ultramagnetic MC's]], Lee Smith, [[Scott La Rock]], [[D-Nice]], Henry Wilkerson PoppyDa, Kenny Parker (KRS-One's younger brother), Just-Ice, ICU, McBoo, [[Ms. Melodie]], [[Heather B.]], Scottie Morris, Tony Rahsan, Willie D., RoboCop, Harmony, [[DJ Red Alert]], Jay Kramer, D-Square, Rebekah Foster, Scott Whitehill, Scott King, Chris Tait and [[Sidney Mills]]. BDP as a group essentially ended because KRS-One began recording and performing under his own name rather than the group name.<ref name="Precise80" /> Lee Smith, who has co-producer credit on the original 12" "South Bronx" single, was the first to be jettisoned by KRS-One and the future new label after Scott's death. In the liner notes on BDP's 1992 album ''Sex and Violence'', KRS-One writes: "BDP in 1992 is KRS-One, Willie D, and Kenny Parker! BDP is not [[D-Nice]], Jamal-Ski, Harmony, Ms. Melodie, and Scottie Morris. They are not down with BDP so stop frontin'." Steve "Flash" Juon of RapReviews.com claimed that this initiated the ultimate breakup of the group.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.rapreviews.com/archive/BTTL_sexandviolence.html|title=Boogie Down Productions :: Sex and Violence :: Jive Records|website=Rapreviews.com|access-date=October 31, 2019}}</ref>
