Originally scheduled for release back in 1994 but scrapped due to controversial cover art,
K.M.D.
's follow-up to their debut
Mr. Hood
was considered to be one of the Holy Grail records in the annals of
hip-hop
history. The death of group member
Sub-Roc
in a car accident squashed the future of
shortly after it was recorded. Employing ideals and samples from the album
The Blue Guerilla
by
Kain
of
the Last Poets
, the tone of this record was to be dramatically different than their first, which was lighthearted and playful while still spreading a message about racial stereotypes. Volatile yet poignant tracks like
"What a Nigga Know"
and
"Black Bastards!"
are
fireballs. Subjects like alcoholism (
"Sweet Premium Wine"
), drug use (
"Smokin' That S*#%"
), and women (
"Plumskinzz"
) were all touched upon with incendiary tones. The sound of the record is very raw and sounds unfinished due to
Elektra
shelving the project, but it doesn't take away from the magic that would have made this a suitable follow-up. ~ Douglas Siwek
