I got into Michael Franti about fifteen years ago with The Disposable Heros Of Hiphopracy... You hear the youth of a few of their songs on here, and as great as Disposable Heros were, this album does well to stand for itself!
January 22, 2008Before Disposeable Heroes, before Spearhead, there was the Beatnigs. This is a delightful album mixing heavy industrial sounds with funk/hiphop rhythms. There's also some marvelous political humor, such as the reading of race classifications in aparteid-era South Africa, or the mini-song parodies in "Burritos." A must for fans of the left-of-center, off-center, and off-the-wall.
May 15, 2003Except for the remixes of "Television" (which can be purchased seperately on vinyl)there isn't anything worth listening to here. There's no music here besides a crude attempt to rap and the lyrics are mind-numbingly stupid. Members of this group later formed the Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy and Spearhead,which are probably better(they could scarcely be worse).
