Although this group is long defunct, its one major recording will be fondly remembered for years--if not decades--to come. The Heroes consisted of rapper Michael Franti and percussionist Ron Tse; together, the San Francisco Bay area-based duo created a biting, politically savvy record that touched on both personal vulnerability and governmental venality. Franti used the microphone to preach about injustice, homophobia, materialism, and apathy. Although Public Enemy had long before established hip-hop's political potential, they never quite attained Franti's ability to translate black rage into universal themes. In the Heroes' best number, "Television, the Drug of the Nation," Franti raps, "Imagination is sucked out of our children by a cathode ray nipple / Television is the only wet-nurse that would create a cripple." Unfortunately, after extensive touring, the pair went their separate ways, Tse to a variety of solo projects and Franti to Spearhead. --Martin Johnson

History is so kind.......2007-03-17

This is, objectively, a pretty bad album. The only reason people could possibly be mistaken about that is the general nostalgic quality of history. People look back at this ridiculous album and for some reason see it as a cornerstone of 'conscious' rap. In reality it's nothing of the sort.

Largely ignored on its release, treated as an oddity by those who knew about it, this album is not the great political or artistic statement some reviewers would have you believe. It's certainly different, and if you're one of those tiresome people who believe anything different is 'better', you'll probably enjoy it. At the time of its release the only real hype around the album was based around its odd percussive elements, which turned out to be much more interesting conceptually than sonically.

Really this isn't even a rap album. It's spoken word, a form of performance art that I find incredibly difficult to tolerate even on good days. It's Franti rambling - strangely without passion or any real cleverness - over admittedly bizarre beats. But that's really it. And although I'd probably agree with you if you started lecturing me about how profanity is too rampant in entertainment, etc, it's just odd - almost Raffi-esque - to hear an entertainer use the word 'poop' in a song.

Franti moved on to more structured songwriting with Spearhead, whose work is much easier to listen to and somewhat more mature. Nostalgia aside, this album is probably best forgotten along with Me Phi Me and the Fu-Schnikens.

Best Album of All Time.......2007-02-27

Today more than ever I find the messages contained in this album are spot on. And I am not joking that this is my favorite album of all time. The music itself is wonderful as well. I really do wish that DH could again saddle up to do another album.

sensationally underrated rap album.......2006-10-18

I got this record back when it first came out, me being a fan of stuff like Nine Inch Nails, Public enemy, Tackhead etc. That there probably defines the sound of the record which is something like an industrial rap album.

It's brilliant. What it does is give a great rap vocalist a platform to preach on - Franti has quite a heavy voice - a good one - and it needs a heavy soundtrack behind it. The music is clever, catchy and powerful, the lyrics are well thought through but it's a very good mix of sounds right through the album. 'television' stands out a bit, 'socio genetic experiment' is another but it's top shelf right through.

Only failing of the record is that it's not going to fit a lot of people's tastes. Is a 100% different thing to any of Michael Franti's Spearhead stuff, which I like also but it's nothing like that. And because of that it may be hard for many people to conceptualise. It's not a classic rap album and nor is it a classic 'industrial' album.

Is definitely worth a listen - at least to Television and Socio... just to get a feel if you're interested or not - it is really clever and enjoyable.

Oh enough already!.......2006-06-29

I linked to this CD after checking out what the talented Micheal Franti is up to. With Speaheard, Franti has made some good stuff, but this....I bought it back when it came out and it fell right off my stereo. It is wack Wack WACK! The overwrought name of this group alone should indicate to all that these guys take themselves WAAAAY too seriously.

They have plenty to say, of course, but that doesn't make their music good. On the contrary, the lyrics are so preachy that it's like having a sledgehammer hitting you over the head. Not that the lyrics have the force hip hop lyrics should. These guys drone out their whiny manifestos without a trace of rhythm or passion. And, on top of that, the beats are among the worst I've ever heard on a rap album.

I have no idea what the Amazon.com reviewer above is talking about (and clearly neither does he). I was into hip-hop back when this thing was released. It sank without a ripple because there were plenty of excellent hip hop artists speaking their minds AND making great music (try Public Enemy, Ice Cube, or even Arrested Development). This CD was not important back when it was released, and it had no impact at all on the development of hip hop or rap.

Buy this now.......2006-02-12

I bought this album in 1992 on the strength of one song(Television...) that I heard once on the radio. I had been a fan of Public Enemy for a couple of years at that stage. After one listen it became an immediate favourite of mine( rare.... only radiohead OK Computer has had similar success since). My sisters, then heavy metal buffs( metallica, megadeth, sepultura, etc..) simillarly took only one hearing to become hooked. It was unusual to have the same taste, as they were metal and I was rap but there you go, who knows....
The album was a socially aware rant at society back in the day, using spot on lyrics, fantastic beats, scratches and instruments such as angle grinders and chains, but it hasn't lost relevance because we still have so much to learn.
I realise that it's now 2006, but this is still one of my favourite albums of all time. While some of the songs have dated slightly others (esp. Winter of the Long Hot Summer about Gulf War 1991) are all the more significant.
There is not a bad song (lyrically or musically) on the album and if I could give it 6 stars I would.

Album Description

Disposable Arts begins with Ace's character being release from prison and returning to his block, a metaphor for the five-year hiatus he took before returning to the rap game prior to this release. From there we follow Ace from BK to a college campus and ride with him as he leaves his hood in search of an education beyond the streets.

More than a concept album, Disposable Arts showcases Ace exceptional flow and highlights his own inner demons about the rap game. Ace's versatility as an MC is evidenced throughout, and his knack for soulful producers (Ayatolla, Domingo, Paul Nice etc) and sharp-witted guests (Jean Grae, Greg Nice, Rah Digga, Wordsworth) make Disposable Arts a memorable edition to Hip Hop's encyclopedia.

Customer Reviews:

Masta Ace - Disposable Arts.......2006-04-09

About a 4.0-4.5 debut album. Of course I was feeling the production on this album, Masta Ace always makes sure he spits on the correct beats for his album. So more than half of the production is a plus. The lyrics, Masta Ace has some pretty good joints like "Acknowledge", good sh**. Lyrically he doesnt fail much. I still that "A Long Hot Summer" still defeats this album. But on the real dont sleep on this album, its worth the cop. Good overall. But not classic.

My Top 5 Songs
1.Too Long
2.Dont Understand
3.Take A Walk
4.Somethings Wrong
5.Acknowledge

The Ace is back.......2006-04-05

Masta Ace has crafted a masterful CD with Disposable Arts, which further cements his place in the history books of music as one of the best storytellers. Throughout the album and the excellent songs (which cover a wide range of subjects, yet render them all in an original way) there are numerous interludes, going with the 'Concept Album' he's made here, which tell a story. Think of them as forewards to the songs; it is clear, however, that each of these songs push forward Ace's plot and tell another chapter. The guest spots are excellent, production is soulful and thoughtful and his flow has only gotten better over the years.

Do yourself a favour and pick this up, if you like hip-hop or not! This is a must buy.

One the ALL TIME GREATS.......2005-12-21

Masta Ace has one of the MOST CONSISTANT artist in hip hop. Disposable Arts is a top notch album from start to finish. I recommend it to ONLY the most SERIOUS Hip Hop heads.

My Favorite.......2005-11-28

Masta Ace album you dont get any more underground than this and I'm glad he's staying himself instead of jumping to the club music like everyone else, but overall this is a good CD Nitetime beats and Masta Ace's Lyrics,C'mon who couldn't like that

*Incredible*.......2005-11-19

Absolutely ridiculous. Hip-hop at it's finest. One of my top 5 albums. Aside from a few interludes (which are actually funny), this album can be played from start to finish. Then hit repeat and listen to it again. Dope beats, dope rhymes, but not your usual bling/rims/guns rapper---Hard to do when you're growing up in Brooklyn. How did everyone sleep on this? Ace has been in the game for so long, and still gets no love...it's a shame to see such talent go unrecognized---he points out so many of the things wrong in todays rap-world. Hopefully one day someone will listen.

If you liked Long Hot Summer, this is a must...there aren't near as many skits and skippable songs on Disposable Arts. That was my only beef with LongHotSummer.

Deviants - 'Disposable' (Captain Trip) 4 1/2 stars.......2006-04-22

Originally released in 1968,as this was their follow-up to their debut 'Ptooff' lp(see my review)and nearly as good.'Disposable' simply continues the feat of showing off Mick Farren's off beat sense of humor.With cuts like "Sparrows And Wires","Let's Loot The Supermarket",the notable "Slum Lord" and "Normality",I personally thought that 'Disposable' was a true keeper.Line-up:Farren-vocals,Duncan Sanderson-bass,Sid Bishop-guitar and Russell Hunter-drums.Another outstanding late '60's UK piece of psychedelia to fully take in.

Know what you write!.......2005-10-11

First off, everyones' review thinks the song "Acknowledge" is a song to mainstream rappers. Its NOT!!! It's an answer back song to Boogieman's "Just you Wait"! I laughed when I read some of these. Do your homework before you talk about a song!!! Overall, the LP is amazing from production, guest artists, & punchlines. Cop it!

wow.......2004-11-24

this guy can flow!!! my buddy introduced me to Ace's stuff, and I have been amazed ever since.

" take a walk" is an excellent song, and so is Too long.

I cant believe i hadnt heard of Masta Ace sooner. If you havent, you should check it out.

Lessons in new school for an old rap Masta.......2004-07-19

Masta Ace has been an incredible MC since the very beginning of hip-hop. Many people have complained about "Disposable Arts" because it's a different type of flow for him, but honestly, "Disposable Arts" is a record you can play straight through without having to skip a single track. The production is incredible and the word-play on both his part and the part of his guest-mc's is mind-blowing. Of course, Punchline and Wordsworth are incredible, but amazingly, every single guest rapper on the album manages to live up to Masta Ace's "masta" flow.

The best tracks on the CD would have to be "Block Episode", "Take A Walk", "Acknowledge", "Enuff", "Unfriendly Game", "Type I Hate", "Dear Diary", and "No Regrets".

On "Acknowledge", Masta Ace rips the clone-rapping emcees you see so often in the mainstream to shreds as he rhymes-
"And I heard your album, this must be something you're new at/Cause I'd rather hear a Little Wayne, Little Zane duet/"
"I'ma diss you via e-mail, and then through a fax/I'ma diss you by two-way, I ain't gonna never relax/I'ma diss you over fast, slow track, or no track/If your 'stuff' wasn't so wack, I'd diss you to your track/Your that little fish that I catch and I throw back/And by the way, give 50 Cent his flow back/"

"Block Episode" chronicles a shooting; Masta Ace plays the guy living in the apartment above the shooting, Punchline plays the shooter, and Wordsworth plays the victim. It's a genius song, rapped with amazing tact and skill, showing the dangers and sadness of a ghetto-life. "Enuff" basically is self-explanatory. Masta Ace and his featured emcee, Mr. Lee Gee, complains about the materialism in rap. It's an enlightening explanation of what makes records sell; money, sex, jail, thuggin', etc...

"Unfriendly Game" is another masterfully crafted song where Masta Ace compares life in the streets to a football game.
"/I'm about to take this beat, and teach you about the agony of defeat/In this football game in the streets/And no it ain't two hand touch, it's rough tackle/When 'brothers' ball on your block, and they bust at you/The field's full of players, and they all tryin to score/The whole team sits on the bench in a down-pour/Cause no matter the weather, the game don't stop/Competing with other teams, to reign on top/Your offense, has got to be cats with no conscience/No nonsense 'brothers' with no options/That know how to carry that rock/And make that hand off and run off the block/It's hard to get first down, when you new in this rough town/You sell a pound, it's a touch down/"
"It's monday night, 'we're watching the game'/But I could go outside, and still see 'the same'/Cause look, there's a bunch of brothers in the huddle/Look's like they're calling the play, come in kids, don't be all in the way/Cause that's Pookie, he's the -- quarterback/Cause he like to use the shotgun/If he don't, I know he got one/And that's Booger, he's the -- runningback/Cause he always say he gonna quit, and he always wind up running back/The rest of them? I'll just say they play the line/Cause they like to protect Pookie, and Pookie make 'em stay in line/"
NOTE: I had to "edit" a few words/lines in the lyrics for the sake of cleanness.
Things keep on going on like that, but it's just too long to write out.

"Dear Diary" is a genius song in which Masta Aces diary talks back to him, telling him he's washed up etc... It shows the negative thinking behind any accomplished artist, and the mental pit falls that Masta Ace probably had to go through while recording his "come back" album. "No Regrets" is the perfect closing song for this CD. The title is pretty self-explanatory, he basically goes through his career blow by blow, acknowledging his thanks, stating simply, he has no regrets.

Masta Ace, when it comes down to it, is really a "Masta" story-teller. He crafts each song to his clever two-line-rhyme style that chronicles the chain reaction of events in different situations. His rhymes reflect on many different aspects of life, and although he does occasionally abandon his conscience rhymes for a song like "I Like Dat", an overly vulgar sex-song with Punch and Words on the track, he generally maintains a street-wise attitude with catchy lyrics that have a message to them. I highly recommend this CD to, well, anyone.

Nothing about this piece of Art is Disposable!!!!!.......2004-07-07

Since "music man" emerged in 1990 ive been a fan of ACE. His delivery is always on point, his albums are always top notch and
having also met the man himself in person in DUBLIN when he played with "punch+words" i found him completely down to earth.
This album is his finest hour, in my opinion. Every track is as
tight as you can get with such a high level of skill+intelligence
in every rhyme. The beats are rock hard head nodders. With no
real weak tracks apart from possibly "every other day" and "take
a look". No real hiphopper's collection is complete without this.

disposable arts.......2004-05-26

First off I have to say that no hip hop album collection is complete without this gem. Nearly every song is brilliantly written and produced, the worst songs on this album, would blow away any of these weak, overhyped, overproduced joints MTv hits us with on a daily basis. I bought this CD @ the end of 2001 and thought for sure MA was going to make a HUGE comeback, I mean everyone of my friends, associates or whoever would come over and hear this ish bangin in my stereo was mad interested in knowing who this cat was, even the cats I chill w/ who don't listen to hip hop @ all loved this s##t. Masta Ace is a seasoned veteran, and EVERY cat into hip hop @ all should have this album. The only thing that I didn't like about Disposable Arts were the numerous skits between songs, but its still a 5 star joint regardless.

This is snuff at their most experimental and it's quality, the songs go by steadily without a bad song (which can become a token thing). It's good to hear a British punk band release an album so near perfect with there been such a high amount of good bands from california. So pick it up it's good British punk rock.

Is it a departure from their Fat Records material? Hmm... yes and no. It's still Snuff, certainly still Snuff. But this time around they have this sort of airy ethereal quality added in to their intense mix. The album comes off as lighter and more pleading almost. The comedy seems to be pushed to the background on this album as there really are no throwaway numbers here like there have been on their Fat releases. There is some experimentation present (sampling, breakbeats), which honestly doesn't always work, but it's good that they're trying. And the production value makes the tracks really sparkle, which is curious since most people blast Fat Records for making a band "too glossy" though Snuff had to leave to make a truly accessibly sonic record.

There's some excellent tracks here, and a lot of average/above-average stuff, but truly no clunkers which is nice. Well, there is one, and i'm sad to report that the sole instrumental on here ranks as one of their worst. Shame, really. But the "bonus track" at the end is certainly one of the top tracks, strange that it is merely a "bonus" track. I enjoy it, and have enjoyed it progressively more the more i've listened to it. Casual fans might be better off with Demma or Tweet, but the old-timers will be intrigued and (hopefully) pleasantly surprised. A little less gruff gusto, but still great tunes, if you don't mind the wacky quality toned down a bit.

Listening to it now.......2005-03-10

I just got this in yeterday along with 2 others i orderd. I absolutly love it. I have been a manson song for as long as i can remember and i love to hear there music portraid so well. Although there are some songs that i thought could have been added , i still love the songs they coverd.

No Title.......2004-02-27

This CD is pretty good, but, as has been said by quite a few people, the song choices could have been better. They should have just completely left out the PoaAF songs, as they don't go to strings well. "A Place in the Dirt" and "Speed of Pain" were great choices because they fit the style of the insturments playing the parts, "The Nobodies" and "Man That You Fear" may have been other selections they may have wanted to put on the CD. Other than that, the CD was fantastic.

its ok but............2003-10-08

i dont know, the idea of doing a string version of manson's greatest songs is a damn good idea. However, it was not pulled off as well as id hoped. when listening to these tracks, i always got the feeling that something was missing, while each song is tabbed to near perfection, the overall package still seemed kind of cheap.

i dont know if its the musician's fault, bad or equipment or just simply done intentionally, alot of the string insturements give off a scratchy tone while leading which does not sound good.

another complain is the choice of songs, some were great choices, but when leading mansons vocal parts, the melody becomes bland and makes you wish that that part was just taken out.

overall, lots of effort was put into this and it is good, but just feels like much more could have been done

My thought on the Cd.......2003-06-20

In this CD Marilyn Manson Portrays a different Image, I myself have been a Manson fan since the 7th grade, this CD gives his musci new meanings and shows he truly is an ecclectic Artist when he can take his area of hard gothic rock and transform it to this wonderful symphony. I highly consider all Manson Fans to purchase this Item.

Wonder-ful........2003-05-05

The album cover is very... stupid, to be blunt. It's really not what I think of when I think of these songs or Marilyn Manson but the string covers are excellent, despite the fact that these songs are probably the most repetitive or weakest choices they could have made excepting the 'Place In The Dirt' song. Most of them are overplayed and outplayed in concert, or done to death in live albums, dvds, vhs, or cover cds, well, here they are again! It doesn't breathe new life into songs that have lost their magic some years ago, but it's fun for awhile. There could easily have been more music or better selection. ...
