this is a pretty good 1991 album by NY rappers called 2 Black 2 Strong
One of the strongest -- and most unjustly neglected -- rap releases of 1991 was 2 Black 2 Strong's Doin' Hard Time on Planet Earth. Though the Harlem MC can be excessively strident and overly inflammatory at times, the album is a riveting, gutsy work that makes its share of highly valid points when addressing social and political issues. "Skulls" decries the crack epidemic with frightening accuracy, while "War on Drugs" asserts that the civil-rights violations occurring in response to the plague are as bad as the plague itself. "Iceman Cometh" tends to unfairly generalize about law enforcement, although its point about excessive force is well taken. Unfortunately, as the '90s progressed, 2 Black 2 Strong remained undeservedly obscure. ~ Alex Henderson, All Music Guide
Their style and subject matter are particularly interesting, as this CD comes from a transition period in hip hop. Hip hop was moving from political, black power oriented lyrics to more street-level gansterism, and this albums strikes a pleasant balance between the two.
