Criminal Minded is the debut studio album by Hip-Hop group Boogie Down Productions. Released on March 3, 1987 by B-Boy Records, this album is considered a highly influential Hip-Hop album and one of the first in the Gangsta Rap genre.

Boogie Down Productions (BDP) was a Hip-Hop group, originally composed of KRS-One (Lawrence "Kris" Parker, b. 1965), D-Nice (Derrick Jones, b. 1970), and DJ Scott La Rock (Scott Monroe Sterling, 1962 – 1987). The name of the group, Boogie Down, derives from a nickname for the South Bronx section of the Bronx, one of the five boroughs of New York City. The group pioneered the fusion of Dancehall Reggae and Hip-Hop music.
