The Greatest Music
Hypocrisy Is the Greatest Luxury
by The Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy
The 891st greatest album of all time
Hypocrisy Is the Greatest Luxury is the 1992 debut album by The Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy. It pairs Michael Franti's pointed spoken-word and vocal delivery with hard-hitting hip hop beats and electronic and industrial textures, built from samples, abrasive sounds, and dense programming. The album focuses on media critique and social commentary, exemplified by the single "Television, the Drug of the Nation", and is notable for merging punk and industrial sonics with alternative hip hop approaches to create a confrontational, documentary-like sound.
