Music reviews of Return of the Product
Music Review: "I'm the baddest white boy to ever touch a mic!" (4.5/5)
Rating: 4 Stars
And if you ask me, that statement still holds true today. After the breakup of 3rd Bass, MC Serch hit the solo trail for his only retail album to date, 1992's "Return of the Product." This is an album that lives up to its era, and it's got hip hop at its finest from what really was the golden aqe of hip hop. Serch was one of the best characters in hip, not only a clever rhyme writer but a clever humorist and an ingenius social commentator. Throughout the album, Serch delivers laugh-inducing punchlines and thought-inducing commentaries. His flow is unique as his character, and he really was a one-of-a-kind MC. The production comes from an array of producers, most notably including T-Ray and Skeff Anselm, and the production is outstanding. While not revolutionary, it's incredibly catchy throughout, funky and upbeat, even a little jazzy at times. The fact that this album is out of print now is disconcerting only because this is such a standard for '92-era hip hop. Rap music as an art was at its finest when this album was released, and this album is a reason why.
The first song is one of the best, "Here It Comes." This song is the best musically on the album, a fast and head-nodding experience with a great chorus and awesome vibes, Serch raps quickly with clever punchlines and flow. "Don't Have to Be" is an exercise of Serch's social relevance on the album. Despite his being Caucasian, Serch stops at nothing to point out and preach dealing with the problems in urban society. The next song, "Back to the Grill," reunites some of the rappers from the Main Source classic "Live at the Barbeque" (yes, Nas) and introduces some new MCs for a more light, upbeat sequel. "Hard But True" continues on the social consciousness tip, the best part is the second verse which addresses the injustices surrounding a high profile New York City rape case in the early 90s. "Return of the Product" is old school hip hop at its finest. "Daze in a Weak" is the low point of the album. While not a bad song by any means, the beat doesn't match the others at all, it's kind of a winding, repetitive loop that doesn't go anywhere. "Can You Dig It" is clever and catchy. My favorite song on the album is "Social Narcotics," a true classic. This song deals with racism and problems with parents planting prejudice into their children, featuring an appearance from a young Joe Fatal. I can't think of too many songs as simultaneously thoughtful and entertaining as this one. "Hits the Head" is excellent, and "Scenes From the Mind" is nice. The album ends with a good remix to the first song titled "Here It Comes Again."
Today most people probably only know Serch as the bitter veteran on VH1, and that's a shame. "Return of the Product" isn't a perfect or classic album by any means, but it's almost a product of its environment. Given the situations and trends in '92, Serch was able to put together a superb album that somehow still escaped the mainstream eye for the most part. This album can still be found for a reasonable price, and if you get the chance, I highly recommend that you check it out. "Return of the Product" is one for the collection if you love early 90s east coast rap.
