{"product_id":"two-bad-dj","title":"Two Bad DJ","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne of the young DJs at the forefront of the shift away from cultural concerns, \u003cstrong\u003eClint Eastwood\u003c\/strong\u003e is the younger brother of the equally celebrated DJ \u003cstrong\u003eTrinity\u003c\/strong\u003e. It was producer Junjo Lawes' clever idea to pair the younger toaster with the British DJ \u003cstrong\u003eGeneral Saint\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the end result was a clutch of chartbusters and this stellar album (which features many of them).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt around some of the Roots Radics' heaviest rhythms, the DJs announced their arrival with \"\u003cem\u003eTribute to General Echo\u003c\/em\u003e,\" a hit which helped define their style. Simple sentiments echoed back and forth between the duo, which succinctly captured the disbelief and dismay that swept the island in the wake of Echo's unnerving and unexplained death at the hands of Jamaican police.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe song was one of the few on \u003cem\u003eTwo Bad D.J.\u003c\/em\u003e to tackle a serious theme. Instead, the duo quickly established a reputation as one of the most entertaining DJ teams around. From revising nursery rhymes (\"\u003cem\u003eJack Spratt\u003c\/em\u003e\") to an informative lesson on bananas (\"\u003cem\u003eBanana Export\u003c\/em\u003e\"), chiding a former ghetto girl for deserting her old friends (\"\u003cem\u003eSweet Sweet Matilda\u003c\/em\u003e\"), across to a clutch of cuts extolling nicer young women and the pleasures of the dancehalls in general, the pair's wit and exuberance were a winning combination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd that doesn't even include the mega-hits like the slacker-themed \"\u003cem\u003eAnother One Bites the Dust\u003c\/em\u003e,\" borrowing \u003cem\u003eMichael Prophet\u003c\/em\u003e's \"\u003cem\u003eGunman\u003c\/em\u003e\" rhythm, and the fabulously funny \"\u003cem\u003eTalk About Run\u003c\/em\u003e,\" where the DJs shame their namesakes when confronted with the living (and talking) dead. \u003cstrong\u003eClint Eastwood\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eGeneral Saint\u003c\/strong\u003e's appeal stretched into the U.K.'s mainstream, and the album even snuck into the chart there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNot surprisingly, something this fun has a life all its own, and \u003cem\u003eTwo Bad D.J.\u003c\/em\u003e remains one of the Greensleeves label's hottest sellers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Greensleeves","offers":[{"title":"CD.","offer_id":50464135676235,"sku":"342970","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50464136397131,"sku":"1053255","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/903b16e0-dec8-4860-bc4c-6ffcce22e938_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727270961","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/two-bad-dj","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
