Hypocrisy Is The Greatest Luxury

As subtle as a brick lyrically, and more like spoken word imho. The beats bored me senseless too

I could not get past the first three songs. This is like a schizophrenic nightmare of hiphop; random sounds combined with a generic beat, awful instrument playing, sub-par rapping and lyrics that are a caricature of meaningful. Atrocious.

When you teacher does an informative rap to be down with the kids

I lost an hour of my life just to be told that phones and TV and whole world is bad and deceptive. With half-rap, half-declamation... Maybe one, out of the thirteen songs, had anything close to an interesting beat. The rest is pretty bad. Man... 1.5/5.

All the 'songs' sound the same. Not like songs

While I know this is a valuable message, this is just exhausting. The beats are fine, but like.... it really feels like slam poetry. Great lyrically, but I didn't enjoy the listening experience.

Hier heb ik helemaal niks mee. Continu een wijzend vingertje want alles is slecht. Vervelende herrie-beats, matige productie, ontzettend 90's, vermoeiend. Te lange nummers, teveel nummers. Huismerk Public Enemy en die gaf ik al een 1. Dan weet je het wel. Ik heb niet alle nummers volledig geluisterd want ik gun mezelf beter. 1 ster.

nah

Would honestly just rather read the poetry. So jarring and honestly exhausting.

Sounds like public enemy but less so

Just another poser trying to sound edgy and be contemporary while being "outraged". Yawn.

Too woke for me I guess. The flows just never connected.

No thanks.

nope

Is this Chuck D of Public Enemy? Actually, this is a little better than Public Enemy because you don't have that annoying Flavor Ice dude in the background. Biggest shout out I can give is they did California Uber Alles. Ok grooves at time. That's all I got. Not impressed. Not my thing and didn't really enjoy. Won't revisit 1

The vocal style could have made this uniquely interesting for a hip-hop album for me. However, the beats were repetitive and uninteresting and the message unnuanced enough to feel more like a condescending lecture -- for music with a message I feel like it's more impactful to be moved emotionally rather than hit over the head

Really?

Ugggh...Public Enemy did it better. I liked the voice but then I realized it was the guy from Spearhead. Not much else to say.

Political ranting—like—too much ranting

I don't like rap. Couldn't really get myself to listen to much of this. Although the overall vibe seems to not be that bad, just not my cup of tea.

Opinions on societal issues, all set to a beat. No thanks.

Para amantes del hip-hop. No lo considero un disco tan relevante como para ser catalogado de los mejores.

Terrible!

This was the debut album from hip hop group The Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy released in 1992. The album contains views on every major political issue from the early 90's - which got old to me very quick. The album was less about music/hip hop and instead focused more on talking about the issues with rhymes. The beats were good, but the rhyming got stale since it was similar topics over and over again. Perhaps this album was critically acclaimed at release because hip hop was still sorta new, but to me this album was boring.

Trash

Jesus christ this got exhausting fast. I can't keep up with the laundry list of complaints

Hip Hop + Critical Social... ok, tiene su mérito, pero este ha sido uno de los álbumes más aburridos y tediosos que han tocado. -_-

Can't say i liked it. Usually conscious hiphop is exactly my bag, this however, wasn't it. The rapper had the charisma and flows of a piece of wood. His subject matter, politics, felt forced, boring, his analysis very much just pointing out the bad with no real point, as i don't understand how this would inspire anybody. I completely agree with pretty much every point he makes, it's just so boringly made. Beats were decent though, but not enough to put this above 1 star.

Lyrics are respectable, but this was not the way to share these words. The music is dreadful and I can’t justify anything more than a single star rating.

Very much of its time, early 90s but late 80s and early 90s influenced. Nation of Islam, racial tensions and the likes of Public enemy and Gil Scott Heron are all over this album but just not executed with their skill. This album sounds like public enemy if there was no chuck D and they let flava flav do all the vocals. \"Bail out the banks Loan art to the churches Satanic Reverses\" is one line I could hear people saying today in music or in a protest but still the song is not great. Television, the Drug of the Nation is a worse the revolution will not be televised. \"Faggot, sissy, punk, queen, queer Although he'd never had sex in his 15 years\" but again a pretty bad song overall. The rapping is bizzare, it is like he is not really rhyming at all deliberately I assume or like jean ralphio I dunno. \"I give the rich a giant tax loophole I leave the poor living in a poophole\" just terrible. \"1 - terrible, can't stand. 2 - not for me but doesn't hurt my ears. 3 - decent, could stick on again. 4 - enjoyed it, will listen again. 5 - absolute belter\" 1 - terrible, can't stand

Having never heard of this group, I cautiously hoped it would be a hidden gem of early 90’s rap/rock cross over à la RATM because i) a non black member suggested a move away from solely rap/hip hop ii) based on the name I assumed it would be a political/social commentary driven record. What I did find, but wasn’t overly surprised, was a pile of contrived political and social bolloxology that isn’t really relevant anymore. The “rap” or “hip hop” that could have saved this album is more in line with an amateur midweek poetry slam night. Lyrics such as “Before the world went Completely blind When people grew bald naturally No mutations Unlike Skinheads And chemo-therapy patients” are truly inspirational. “Music and Politics” caught me by surprise with some jazzy upbeat grooves. This album is totally un-listenable for me. The highlight of the album was when I chuckled to myself thinking the main guy reminded me of Fur-Q from Brasseye. “You gotta kill people to respect people...but eh...you can’t kill everybody eh...because you wouldn’t have anybody left to respect if you did”

disco genérico de rap

This genre is not for me, especially from this era, but wanted to give it the benefit of the doubt and give it a fair listen. These guys are taking about some interesting issues but they are not doing it in an entertaining or skilful way. Some songs are straight up history lessons, all are very preachy. Overall I found it monotonous, apart from the musical song "music & politics" which was different but still awful. There were some attempts of humour throughout but much more needed to make it less of a tirade. "Why most people think Central America means Kansas". Self righteous, unpoetic.

Dreadful. This is just noise, not music. No redeeming features.

Bad, did not find one song that was enjoyable on the whole album.

1/5
