Mixerr Album Reviews #2,328

DFM - Ghetto Politics was one of those albums considered to be years ahead of their time as it did not fit in with modern culture during that time. The album’s political consciousness was on a woke level and years ahead of time. Politically speaking, the album takes an independent stance on the political spectrum as subject matter is based on the Nation of Islam and Black Panther Party. The album takes a pro-black stance. Songs on this album deal with self-acceptance, truth, politics, religion, and such. This album is worth around $100-200$ dollars these days as this album is out of print.

Although this album was released in 2000, some of the songs were recorded way earlier than that. Some of the songs were recorded as far back as 1994. Me & The Boys was recorded in 1994.


Accept Your Own and Be Yourself teaches us to accept ourselves for who we are and to just be ourselves. The song also teaches us to accept our own people. Accept Your Own and Be Yourself was a song which paid homage, tribute, and respect to the message delivered by The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan called “Accept Your Own and Be Yourself”. The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan delivered this message at Mosque Maryam in Chicago, Illinois on March 31, 1991.

DFM is not here to preach but instead reach out to black people that there is a better way to live. Living life right is DFM’s philosophy. Why do we have to be enemies if we’re going through the same things?


Stayin' Alive deals with the concept of survival and respect. You need get inside his mind to understand his viewpoints and outlooks. He was years ahead of the culture.

All DFM sees everyday is tragedy, violence, death, and crime. So he looks for a solution to these problems. He asks black people to stand together. Black people need to stick together and respect each other. DFM claims no other color than black because he is black. He wants to see black people respect one another.

“Who’s fooling who?” is the big question for this song. The truth will set you free. That way you will know who’s fooling who. DFM was taught, “The truth will set you free.” You and me won’t be united until there is unity. But first as an individual then we will be as people. The lyrics “You and me won’t be until unity/But first as an individual/then we’ll be as a people/I’m staying alive” is a reference to individual unity and racial unity.


You Really Don't Know Me is a phat bass laced party track with that Sac-Town hyphy sound over some fast paced dance beats. This is one of the earlier songs which was recorded in 1997. The song is a definite Sac-Town classic.

Me & The Boys was one of the earlier songs that was recorded in 1994. Me & The Boys is a Sac-Town classic known by many Sacramento.

I rate this album 4/5****!
