"Television The Drug Of A Nation" by TDHOH [1992]



Un petit air de "I'm The Slime" de Zappa [1973] matiné d'un poil de "Dumb All Over", non ?
TDHOH est un groupe "old school" comme on les appelle maintenant qui nous ramène dans les années où les textes de rap avaient du sens, une lutte à mener autre que celle du gansta de base, homophobe, qui a finit dans l'imagerie populaire et sur le papier par occuper toute la place !

The Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy was an American industrial hip-hop band, active during the early 1990s. The band was formed in 1990 by Michael Franti and Rono Tse, who had been in the Beatnigs, and introduced the work of guitarist Charlie Hunter. The band's name was derived in part from the phrase "The Disposable Heroes of Hypocrisy", used in some Socialist literature.

The group were associated by genre with others of the time, including House of Pain and Pop Will Eat Itself. They also were somewhat reminiscent of Gil Scott-Heron due to the vocal styles of Franti and the up-front political messages in the music.
