The first release from the BADMEANINGOOD series was compiled and mixed by Skitz: a key part of the UK Hip-Hop and Turntablist Movement in the early Noughties. The mixtapes tracklist was eclectic and featured musical game changers that drew from the past and paved the way for Grime, Dubstep and Jungle. Skitz's diverse selection includes records such as Roots Manuva's synth bass laden 'Witness (1 Hope)' and Slick Rick's topdown smash hit 'Mona Lisa'.
The album’s original artwork was produced by Banksy - and this image has only ever appeared in the BADMEANINGOOD series and is what the major art auction houses call ‘Signature Banksy’. In addition, Banksy produced four canvases of this image, one of which sold at Sothebys for $332,000 in March 2021.
These smaller posters were produced for record shops, purely for promotional purposes – unsurprisingly many of them quietly ended up in the hands of record shop employees and not on the shop walls. These posters have become collectors’ items in their own right.
