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). Hypocrisy Is the Greatest Luxury found some critical acclaim, 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[citation needed].
