"Guerillas In Tha Mist" by Da Lench Mob (1992)
CLASSIC ALBUM OF THE WEEK
Da Lench Mob "Guerillas In Tha Mist"  1992 (USA)
Gangster rap was such a hot trend in 1992 that this ultra-militant group's debut album scored a gold record. It was produced and promoted by Ice Cube, formerly the primary lyricist of the notorious hardcode group NWA, who became one of the biggest rap stars of the early 1990's cranking out multi-platinum albums full of songs that could never get played on the radio. Cube and Da Lench Mob's members all proclaimed their loyalty to Louis Farakhan's Nation of Islam movement, and if you're not familiar with NOI let's just say their views about racial politics are outside of the mainstream. But whether you share their philosohpy or not, you have to admire their unflinching devotion to expressing their first ammendment right to free speech. Musically, Cube created one of the heaviest rap albums of the era with densely layered production to rival the best work of standard bearers Public Enemy, only with even funkier grooves.
