It was recorded on February 28, 2002, at Bandulero Sound in Berlin, Boston Butta Beats in Boston, and The Pool Room in New York City.[1] Music and lyricsEmergency Rations is a concept album whose premise centers around Mr. Lif's fictional kidnapping presumably by government agents. It showcases his defiant perspective on themes such as civil rights, censorship, and U.S. foreign policy.[2] He also raps about societal ills such as gender socialization, the vapid state of pop culture, and the dehumanizing effects of capitalism.[3] Lif's thoughtful, confrontational lyrics are backed by Akrobatik and El-P's dissonant production, which evokes feelings of paranoia and alienation.[2]Critical receptionEmergency Rations received positive reviews from critics. In The A.V. Club, Nathan Rabin highlighted the EP's "solid blast of social consciousness" and wrote that it possessed "a raw, unfinished quality that more than lives up to the urgency of its title".[3] AllMusic's Martin Woodside called Lif "a thoughtful, often incendiary lyricist", while giving Emergency Rations four out of five stars and calling it "a provocative, well-crafted album that proves hard to ignore."[2] Robert Christgau from The Village Voice found Mr. Lif "funny" and an "angry guy" while giving Emergency Rations an "A–". According to him, Lif used the EP as both a set up for his subsequent concept album, I Phantom (2002), and as "an excuse to drop random science about the place of hip hop in the military-industrial complex."[4]Track listing{{Track listing| extra_column = Producer(s) | title1 = Intro (Missing Person's File) | note1 = featuring Akrobatik and Brotha PC | length1 = 2:22 | title2 = Jugular Vein | extra2 = Mr. Lif | length2 = 3:19 | title3 = Heavy Artillery | extra3 = Edan | length3 = 3:41 | title4 = Home of the Brave | extra4 = Mr. Lif | length4 = 3:46 | title5 = Pull Out Your Cut | extra5 = DJ Hype | length5 = 3:30 | title6 = Get Wise '91 | note6 = featuring Edan | extra6 = Edan | length6 = 3:21 | title7 = The Unorthodox | extra7 = DJ Fakts One | length7 = 4:00 | title8 = Phantom | note8 = featuring El-P | extra8 = El-P | length8 = 4:18 }} PersonnelCredits adapted from liner notes.[5]
