On July 17, 1990, BDP dropped their fourth album, Edutainment, on Jive Records.  The album heavily featured the leader of Boogie Down, KRS-One.  Many critics agreed this was KRS-One's finest lyrical performance to date, touching on many social issues in the black community.  KRS produced the album along with D-Nice and Pal Joey.

The album featured skits for interludes known as "exhibits" in between songs.  Civil Rights activist Kwame Ture was in most skits.  Edutainment had a couple hits, including "Love's Gonna Get'cha (Material Love)."  The album reached #9 on the R&B chart and #32 on the Billboard 200. 

Edutainment was certified Gold on October 10, 1990 and to this date has sold over 700,00 copies.
