Album cover
Hypocrisy Is the Greatest Luxury is the debut album by alternative hip hop crew the Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy, released in 1992 (see 1992 in music). Socially aware and topical, Hypocrisy Is the Greatest Luxury found great critical acclaim from most quarters, though some perceived the album as pandering to white mainstream audiences who didn't want to listen to the then-rising G funk that would soon become the dominant genre in hip hop.
