  • Black Bastards is the second and final studio album by KMD (an American rap trio featuring an early alias of MF Doom), completed in 1993 and eventually released on May 15, 2000, through Readyrock Records. Initially, the album was scheduled for release in May 1994, but Elektra Records canceled the album, reportedly due to the controversial cover art, which shows a Sambo figure being lynched. Zev Love X's brother DJ Subroc was killed when he was struck by a car shortly before the album was completed, and subsequent releases of the album have featured dedications to him. Rare and demo tracks recorded during the making of this album were released on a vinyl-only EP titled Black Bastards Ruffs + Rares in 1998. The album was re-released in 2001 by Sub Verse Music and again in 2008 by MF Doom's own Metalface Records. (en)
  • Black Bastards (o Bl_ck B_st_rds) è un album del gruppo hip hop KMD, pubblicato nel 2001 dall'etichetta discografica . L'album sarebbe dovuto uscire nel 1994, ma la Elektra Records, che doveva pubblicarlo, ne impedì la pubblicazione, a causa di una controversia riguardante la copertina dell'album, raffigurante un afroamericano, tratteggiato in modo chiaramente offensivo, impiccato e a causa delle liriche legate alle idee dei . Nonostante queste siano le critiche al tempo rivolte all'album, al suo interno non ci sono liriche espressamente collegabili alla retorica dei Five-Percenter e il progetto non ha certo tono razzisti. Il fratello di Zev Love X, DJ Subroc, morì, travolto da un pirata della strada, poco prima della pubblicazione dell'album. Alcune tracce demo e rarità furono pubblicate nel 1998, all'interno di un EP dal titolo Black Bastards Ruffs + Rares. L'album fu ristampato nel 2008 da MF DOOM (Zev Love X), per la sua etichetta, Metal Face Records. (it)
