专辑简介
Shock of the Hour is MC Ren’s first full-length solo album. 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.
