1992 studio album by Esham
Judgement Day is the second studio album by American rapper Esham , released April 9, 1992. On June 6, 2006, a Judgement Day box set was issued, containing both original volumes and previously unreleased material.
Production
[ edit ]
Reel Life Productions founder and Esham 's brother James Smith decided that Esham should record a double album following the release of Prince 's Love Symbol Album . Smith thought that if an R&B artist could record a double album , a rapper should record a double album.[1] However, it is not the first double album in hip hop, as previously DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince released He's the DJ, I'm the Rapper , which was a double album in its original vinyl configuration.
Music
[ edit ]
While the lyrical content of Judgement Day is similar to that of Esham's debut, Boomin' Words from Hell , the music features a heavier use of rock samples.[2]
Release history
[ edit ]
Judgement Day was released separately in two volumes, Day and Night , on April 9, 1992.[3] On June 6, 2006, a Judgement Day box set was released, featuring both original volumes remastered, two volumes of previously unreleased material, the exclusive album Martyr City , an illustrated booklet with a short autobiography written by Esham detailing the days of the original Judgement Day release as well as a background story for Martyr City , a live concert DVD, deluxe packaging and a Certificate of Authenticity .[4] [5]
Reception
[ edit ]
Allmusic 's Jason Birchmeier wrote that Judgement Day, Vol. 1 "may not be his most well-crafted work, but it certainly stands as his most inspired work of the '90s",[3] while Vol. 2 "isn't quite as strong as the first volume, suffering mostly from a number of weak tracks [...] the first volume doesn't rely quite so much on cheap shock, instead focusing on evocative horror motifs, making Judgement Day, Vol. 2 the less important of the two."[3]
