Mo’ Mega
Mr. Lif
2006
Mo’ Mega is a concept album about the intersection of lower-class culture with an increasingly modernizing world, and how the latter is adversely affecting the former. The title itself captures what Lif describes an irreconcilable clash between the world’s wealthy elite and the have-nots. He takes on the UN, Homeland Security, even fast food corporations.
“Mo’ Mega is the juxtaposition of the slave and the elite with no common ground between the two” – Mr. Lif.
In the album’s liner notes, Mr. Lif wrote:
Mo’ represents the dialect of the Black slave in America. Mega represents the hyper-modernized world we live in. As the cost of living increases at an exponential rate, more of us are finding it difficult to keep pace. I feel that the term Mo’ extends beyond race to describe the masses whom have not achieved elite levels of wealth. Mo’ Mega is the juxtaposition of the slave and the elite with no common ground between the two
