1988 Preview Editors’ Notes If hip-hop’s banner year of 1988 presents a kind of corollary to rock ’n roll’s pivotal mid-‘60s heyday, then Critical Beatdown can be seen as rap’s answer to Blonde on Blonde or Revolver.

Lyrics to 'Critical Beatdown' by Ultramagnetic MC's. Two other songs, "Baby, I'm Mad" and "Who Am I?" Release date: October 4, 1988.

Critical Beatdown is the 13th track on the Ultramagnetic MC’s debut album of the same name. His lyrics on “Ego Trippin'” also criticize the musical aesthetic of old school Hip Hop artists at the time: “They use the simple back and forth, the same old rhythm / That a baby can pick up and join right with them / But their rhymes are pathetic, they think they copasetic / Using nursery terms, at least not poetic”.

Many believe that without the group's primary producer, Ced Gee, the golden era of sampling may have looked very different. The Ultramagnetic MCs formed in 1984. Kool Keith’s rhymes are manic and expressed in a staccato pace. Along with samples of Brown’s music, the production utilized drum breaks from commonly sampled sources such as Melvin Bliss’ 1973 song “Synthetic Substitution”.

Production for the album was handled primarily by the group's rapper and producer Ced-Gee, who employed an E-mu SP-1200 sampler as the album's main instrument. Genres: East Coast Hip Hop, Boom Bap, Hardcore Hip Hop.

In the second edition of The Rough Guide to Hip Hop (2005), music journalist Peter Shapiro notes its music’s energy as reminiscent of The Cold Crush Brothers and writes of the album’s musical significance, “It may have been a stunning explosion of early sampling technology, but Critical Beatdown remains a devstating album even in an age of 32-bidevastating and RAM-intensive sound-editing software.” He also views that the technological limitations of using such a sampler added to the album’s style, making the music “rawer, more immediate, and more febrile, like a raw nerve.Hip Hop production team The Bomb Squad has cited the album as a major influence on their production for Public Enemy’s 1988 album Kool Keith’s and Ced-Gee’s lyrics on the album are characterized by abstract braggadocio, stream-of-consciousness narrative style and pseudoscientific terminology.
