  The Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy was a Rap/Hip-Hop band active during the early 1990s.
The band's name was derived in part from the phrase "The Disposable Heroes of Hypocrisy", used in some Socialist literature.
In common with other bands of the time on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, the Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy used sampling and scratching as a primary tool of music recording, and mixed Rock, Hip-Hop, Rap, and Jazz in combinations that were ground breaking for the time.

Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy: Hypocrisy Is the Greatest Luxury
Disposable Heroes only lasted one album; “Hypocrisy is the Greatest Luxury” before fracturing apart.
Back in 1991, when this was released, rap was seen a threat: some mistook Public Enemy’s realist approach to describing the violence and depravation of urban ghetto life as a blueprint for glamour, misogyny hatred, and selling millions of records.

Reviews of the Disposable Heroes often mention Gil Scott-Heron, a 1970s jazz-funk revolutionary poet who in many ways was a precursor to modern rap and hip hop.
The Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy were formed out of the Beatnigs, an earlier group Rono and Michael were involved in.
On Disposable Heroes' next album, Rono says, some of the tracks will be of a more personal nature, about relationships, experiences growing up and being a Green Card holder.

 Julian Cope Presents Head Heritage | Unsung | Reviews | Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy - Hypocrisy is the Greatest ...
The Heroes did not just have one message, they had an album full of them - but a way to deliver them, ease them into your consciousness, that was at once smooth but also Rock.
Between the two we have the Heroes tribute to their Alternative Tentacles "inspirator" Jello Biafra - a cover of 'California Uber Alles' which samples the original but drags it into the nineties kicking, screaming and kicking.
The Heroes performed this track live on The Word, complete with power tools and more energy than a truckful of Lucozade - and that performance still remains one of the defining moments of the early nineties, at least to me.

Michael Franti has a long history of mixing music with activism, starting with his first foray, the Beatnigs, which played a definite mixture of angry yet thoughtful music and put Franti on the map as an artist to listen to.
The Disposable Heroes were signed to Island Records and even toured with U2.
After only two albums (the second a being a collaboration with legendary wordsmith William S. Burroughs), the Disposable Heroes were trashed.

The group's origins in the Beatnigs aren't hidden at all -- besides a stunning, menacing revision of that band's "Television, the Drug of the Nation," the Heroes' first single, the combination of Bomb Squad and industrial music approaches is apparent throughout.

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.
The Disposable Heroes were an industrial-hip-hop-performance poetry duo from the early 90s who pulled absolutely no punches when it came to their subject matter.
Aside from Franti's unique vocal delivery (the Heroes only ever released this one album and by the time Spearhead convened, Franti would have developed a much more folksy idiom), credit must be given to Rono Tse's music.

Franti's debut as Spearhead, Home, was released in 1994 shortly after the break-up of his former band.
Eschewing the hip-hop beats of the Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy's sole album release, Hypocrisy Is The Greatest Luxury, Franti and Joe "The Butcha" Nicolo opted for a funk/rap hybrid performed by a quartet of live musicians and with vocal backing from Mary Harris and toaster Ras I Zulu.
Tracks such as "Runfayalife" and "Crime To Be Broke In America" evoked memories of the classic early 70s musical vision of Sly And The Family Stone, while Franti's humanist outlook was summed up in song titles "Love Is Da Shit", "Piece O'Peace" and "Positive".

Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy, Blackalicious, Sly and Robbie
Bay Area visionary Michael Franti first came to public attention in the Beatnigs, an industrial punk act that eventually grew into the Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy, a fiery agit-rap duo that picked up Public Enemy’s baton and passed it to Rage Against the Machine.
After one excellent album (1992’s Hypocrisy is the Greatest Luxury) that had absolutely zero to do with the gangsta zeitgeist, Franti headed off for funkier pastures, forming funk/rap/soul group Spearhead to marry many of the same messages to a much softer, if no less interesting, musical offering.

the Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy formed in 1990.
Consequently, the Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy never attracted the African-American audiences their music actively sought, and after joining beat legend William S. Burroughs on his 1993 release Spare Ass Annie and Other Tales, the duo disbanded; while Tse later worked with the Bay Area rap unit Mystik Journeymen, Franti formed Spearhead, a more roots-oriented concern.

They are one of the few rap (what the kids now refer to as hip-hop- but don't get me started on that) bands that I can truly appreciate.
Franti begun his career with the ultra-digable Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy, released one record and then disappeared for two years and resurfaced with Spearhead, which was twice the band the Disposable Heroes were.
He was on top of his game in a genre that typically embraces more ego than any other… So, why this record?

Often berated as the group that it is OK for non-rap fans to like, the Disposable Heroes' solitary album proper represents much more than that might imply.
