Released in 1993, it has been called “uneven”, but presents a lyrical vision. It was his first solo album released after he converted to the Nation of Islam. MC Ren highlights his view of American hyprocisy with a vengeance, and the title track foresees the nation’s fiery end in an apocalyptic fury enabling black people to finally achieve justice. Both this tune and “Attack On Babylon” come closest to presenting a coherent, effective philosophy. Another provocative track is “Same Old Sh**”, a song that strips away any pretense of glamour around the gangsta lifestyle and outlines the brutality, paranoia and violence at its core. Many of the tracks display MC Ren’s potential as a hip-hop theorist. The first half is Gangsta rap (which was originally recorded for Life Sentence, his follow-up to Kizz My Black Azz until he converted to Islam), the second half is “Muslim rap”. The second half mainly talks of Judgment day and Armageddon. Album cover photography and portraits of MC Ren were taken by Daniel Arsenault.

一半匪帮,一半穆斯林,MC Ren的首张专辑,末日感十足,前半张讲述了那些令人熟悉的90年代街头故事,后半张则是他皈依基督教之后的理论输出,整体内容上有着警示喻言的作用,歌儿在那个年代算是合格的,制作和说唱都在水平线之上,算不上特别优秀,但也没有特别拉的歌儿,封面来自于摄影师Daniel Arsenault的作品。
