Christian hip-hop pranksters “God Squad” release their anticipated anti-Christ diss record. Suicidal Rap Orgy was conceived as a sort of funky Sunday School learning aid: Kids, this is what happens if you don’t go to church. Genital Warfare is also notable for being the first album recorded and produced at Hillschurch Lifesong studios, the massive multi-million dollar studio and mastering facility hidden away in the western suburbs. The money shows, with engineering and production that would make other god-fearing producers like Rodney Jerkins green with envy. The five SRO MCs and DJ Testament are backed by the Lifesong GodPower house band, with the title track also featuring the Lifesong Philharmonic. The tracks are a motley collection of life gone wrong, wasted opportunitites, bad choices and malnourished spirit. Tracks like ‘Anal Sucking Fun’ relate the sorry tale of a life without religion, with lyrics like ‘my dick is a bloody fuckin hard mother fucker / I piss on ya tits and fill ya face full of shit / shit reins down fill the streets with blood / Im a maniac shit lickin slut’. The message here is clear: stick with the one true faith and ye shall be saved. SRO have thoughtfully included a included a booklet of lyrics entitled ‘Closer To God’ and contact details for anyone curious enough to wonder about those larger questions. Stupid and pointless.
