- Release Notes:
- New York in the 1980's: Crack cocaine, Reaganomics, The Cold
- War, The Iran-Contra scandal, U.S. Recession, Wall Street
- greed and collapse, the explosion of graffiti and
- break-dancing, the advancement of Hip Hop into the
- consciousness of America. The decade was a nefarious era, the
- city landscaped in political turmoil and economic crisis. But
- out of this wreckage came the development of what had been
- dismissed as a fad into a thriving industry called Hip Hop, a
- creative juggernaut which went on to change the world.
- Prodigy, Big Twins and Un Pacino were raised in this era. Born
- in the late 70's, they grew up in a culture steeped in
- controversy and contradiction. Each walked a path through the
- rotted streets, by any means necessary. Violence, poverty,
- drugs and indulgence were part and parcel. This project
- harkens back to this epoch through the frontline survivors
- themselves.
- Likewise, the contributing producers draw exclusively from the
- records that were garnered in that fundamentally diametric
- period. Welcome to "Product of the 80s"
- Prior to his current incarceration, Prodigy made a home at
- Dirt Class Studios in Brooklyn. Often he arrived alone and
- left alone. No entourage, no groupies, no crew. This left the
- emphasis on Prodigy, the man and his words. Dirt Class became
- his sanctuary where he could productively write and record
- without distraction. The duo of Joey and Bravo (better known
- as Sid Roams) hosted these sessions and provided the bulk of
- the soundtrack. The chemistry was evident and the result was a
- copious amount of new material from Prodigy. The result of
- this effort is uncut and undiluted "Product of the 80s".
- "They Want Me Dead (feat. Hard White)" is the hidden bonus track
- @ the end of the cd....
- this CD is Crack, Make Sure u Buy It!!!!
