{"title":"Ed O.G. \u0026 Da Bulldogs","description":"\u003cp\u003eEd O.G. (born Edward Anderson) penned a poignant and brilliant message track on his 1991 CD Life of a Kid in the Ghetto. \"Be a Father to Your Child\" was a much more effective plea for parental responsibility than scores of political rhetoric spewed by left- and right-wing types. The entire disc was a disturbing, evocative, and wonderfully produced and performed look at inner-city life that neither glorified nor minimized the tragedy nor understated the triumphs inherent in surviving the madness. The follow-up, Roxbury 02119, wasn't quite as captivating, but was still miles ahead of many more heavily hyped and promoted hip-hop releases in 1993. ~ Ron Wynn, Rovi\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"ed-o-g-da-bulldogs-life-of-a-kid-in-the-ghetto","title":"| Life Of A Kid In The Ghetto (LP, RSD 2019)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"\u003eOver the course of his 30 year career Ed O.G. has maintained an admirably strong following and worked with contemporaries like RZA, KRS-One, Masta Ace, Pete Rock, and Common - and toured the world a few times over.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"\u003eFor Record Store 2019, Get On Down rolls it all back to where it started, Ed O.G. and Da Bulldogs 1991 debut \"Life Of A Kid In The Ghetto.\" The album runs the gamut from the introspective conscious hip-hop of \"Be A Father To Your Child\", to the whimsical boasts of \"I'm Different\", to deeply political fare like the Ace \u0026amp; Quan and Def Jef-featuring \"Speak Upon It\", plastered across a backdrop of Joe Mansfield-produced sample-heavy soundscapes which snatched clips from deep cuts of James Brown, Roy Ayers, and The Delfonics, to name just a few. It also managed to generate Billboard-charting singles out of tracks like \"Bug-A-Boo\", \"Be A Father To Your Child\", and \"I Got To Have It\", which would become Ed O.G.'s signature track, and sample fodder for 2Pac, De La Soul, and DJ Premier.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"\u003eGet On Down now presents Life Of A Kid In The Ghetto, an unheralded rarity of renaissance hip-hop, reissued on vinyl for the first time since 1991.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"\u003eTracklist\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"\u003eA1        I'm Different\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA2        Speak Upon It\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA3        Feel Like A Nut\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA4        I Got To Have It\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA5        She Said It Was Great\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA6        Dedicated To The Right Wingers\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB1        Gotta Have Money (If You Ain't Got Money, You Ain't Got Jack)\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB2        Let Me Tickle Your Fancy\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB3        Be A Father To Your Child\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB4        Stop (Think For A Moment)\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB5        Bug-A-Boo\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB6        Life Of A Kid In The Ghetto\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"\u003e*Audio and\/or tracklist may vary slightly from the vinyl version.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"\u003eLabel: GET ON DOWN\u003cbr\u003e\r\nRel.
