This here is an unofficial/ bootleg promo 12 inch that was released in 2008. The Vodka company Smirnoff did a lil` promo type thing with a Hip Hop theme, it was called the Smirnoff Signature Mix Series (they even had a website for it, it`s no longer up now though). They took 3 great Hip Hop tracks & gave `em a 2008 vibe because each track represented a drink that they were promoting. KRS-One teamed up with DJ Premier for "Criminal Minded `08", their drink was called "The Cypha" (Smirnoff Raspberry Flavored Vodka & Pineapple Juice)...
Common teamed up with Just Blaze for "The Light `08", their drink was called "The Southside" (Smirnoff Green Apple Flavored Vodka & Cranberry Juice). While Q-Tip teamed up with producers Cool & Dre for "Midnight `08" & their drink was called "The Blueberry Abstract" (Smirnoff Blueberry Vodka & Lemonade). All 3 tracks were released together (along with their Instrumentals) on a promo 12 inch by Smirnoff in 2008, the downside was that they were all the Clean/Radio Edit versions...
Unfortunately this bootleg 12 inch only has the KRS-One & DJ Premier collabo` "Criminal Minded `08", however the plus side is that you get the Dirty version along with the Clean & Instrumental. The only issue that I have with this 12 inch is that the label states the Dirty version has the Intro like the Clean version does, but that`s actually not the case. The Clean version is the only track that has it....LoL, not a BiG deal though. Anyway I`m done rambling go `head & peep the tunes for ya`self & check out the music video while you`re at it (it`s actually the Dirty version with the Intro....LoL)...
