1982 - Goin' Back
Artist: 1982
Producer: Statik Selektah
Album: 1982 (The Album)
Label: Showoff/St. Records
1982 was a very, very good year, for that was the year a young hip-hop writer named Nathan S. who would later change the world was born. I’m sorry, where were we? Oh yes, Goin Back. The new street single from 1982, otherwise known as Termanology and Statik Selektah, Goin Back, like their previous efforts Darkest Cloud and The Lottery, feature a predictably dope and soul-sampled beat from Statik and hard cut rhymes from Term, who fitting takes us back to a time when rhyme skills are what mattered most. This time around however, Boston’s latest championship duo recruits some help in the form of Philly’s best battle rapper Cassidy, who unexpectedly drops multiple references to ancient Greek literature, and consummate west coaster and ride-pimper Xzibit, who wants the world to know he believes in your cleavage (Obama he isn’t). Considering 1982’s aptly named 1982 (The Album) doesn’t drop until October 26, I think we can expect at least a couple more offerings from the duo. And when we do, you know who will serve ‘em up. Keep it locked.

Statik Selektah is on a mission to become the most highly-praised producer in DJBooth.net history. I am almost sure of this.
If you found this track to feature an unusual grouping of emcees by name only, take one listen (and rest easy) to hear that all three seamlessly flow over Statik's kinetic beat. Bring on 1982!

This is good music. Up tempo, soulful, and sick lyrical display. Cassidy sounds right at home over the production, Term does his usual, and X adds a West Coast feel and a change of pace. Great track.

This is definently I dope track. Cassidy and Termanology killed it. Xzibit was hot too.

Zxibit's always been a west coast emcee with a straight ahead, quasi-east coast flow, so it's really no surprise that this track works so well. When you've got an elite producer and three top shelf emceed involved, the only remarkable thing would have been if they failed. This is that raw hip-hop.
All my 1982 babies stand up!

Damn straight about '82.
This was a good joint, Xzibit was good as always... he always seemed to fly under the radar and then explode, and repeat,hopefully he will throw down some more stuff. The back track on this was also good, I thought I would get sick of it, but it worked well. |

I love Cass, he's incredible to say the least- his one drawback is very much like what people think about Jadakiss- he's incredible as a guest, but his solo song making capabilities have rubbed some the wrong way. He is the perfect intro to this song, as previously stated, he really stepped his game up. Statik's beat was a monster, Xhibit is one of my favorite west coasters- formula for success.

What the heck was Statik thinking with this production?
