Product Of The 80′s
Fat Lace recommendation of the week: Product of The 80′s by Prodigy, Big Twins & Un Pacino. Not one Alchemist beat in sight but the predominantly Sid Roams produced album is fiyyyahhh. Here’s an example, the beat is nasty.

wow
You know how ‘net geeks took the Legal Hustle album and edited all Dona’s verses out and edited any trace of Baby offa the Birdman & Wayne album? Someone should do that with this, edit every Un Pacino verse out and replace them with various Big Noyd verses.
Surely Prodigy’s a product of the 70′s though?
This reminded me about that faggy Grindie song about “I got love for you if you were born in the 80′s” which pissed me off a bit cause people born in the 80′s are highly unlikely to have contributed anything of merit to the decade itself as they wouldn’t have been old enough.
So let it be knownst it was 70′s cats who gave the 80′s it’s flavour but really it was 60′s man who started this shit i suppose. Actually Herc was born in the 50′s weren’t he ? And what about Pigmeat Markham, he must’ve been born in at least the 40′s. Matter of fact David Toop talk about Cab Calloway and he was reppin the 30′s so must be at least from the 20′s. And in that film Hustle and Flow the guy was claimin the southern delta blues from the turn of 20th century as being the start of this rap shit but then you can’t forget about the griots from thousands of years ago. But then again, if it weren’t for evolution, the griots would still be apes in trees and morevover if there weren’t any trees we’d probably have had to stay in the water and if we’re gonna go there then we might as well take it back to single-celled amoeba and say they the O.G’s right there, unless you want to get proper deep and talk about ameno acids, in which case we might as well say the big bang was the start of this hip-hop. But what about before the big bang, what existed then and how do we know whether it made a contribution to hip-hop?
Well let me tell you people, this was one of my major life questions up until about 6 months ago when someone schooled me to the fact that you can’t have time unless you’ve got space (and obviously without time you can’t have music).
