War - The World Is A GhettoThe World Is a Ghetto by War is a sun soaked yet streetwise classic that captures the band at the absolute height of its powers. Released in 1972, the album feels both laid back and razor sharp, balancing groove heavy escapism with unflinching social awareness.

The World Is a Ghetto by War is a sun-soaked yet streetwise classic that captures the band at the absolute height of its powers. Released in 1972, the album feels both laid-back and razor-sharp, balancing groove-heavy escapism with unflinching social awareness.

Arriving as War’s fifth studio album, The World Is a Ghetto cemented the group’s reputation as masters of multicultural funk, blending soul, jazz, Latin rhythms, and blues into a sound that felt distinctly of the streets of Los Angeles. Issued on United Artists Records, it became the band’s most commercially successful release, topping charts while quietly delivering some of the era’s most thoughtful commentary on urban life.

Musically, the album stretches out and luxuriates in feel. The title track unfolds as a slow-burning meditation on survival and resilience, while The Cisco Kid adds playful swagger and storytelling charm. Four Cornered Room leans introspective and moody, and Be Thankful For What You Got closes the set with gentle optimism and reflective grace. Throughout, harmonica, congas, and fluid basslines create a warm, enveloping atmosphere that never rushes its message.

On vinyl, The World Is a Ghetto breathes exactly as intended, letting the extended grooves and subtle dynamics fully bloom. It remains a defining statement of 1970s funk with depth, heart, and timeless relevance, a record that still sounds like real life spinning at 33 RPM.

Great quality, color is ok.
Color: Cream Brown, Size: 2 x 6 ft Sheepskin
The quality, texture, feel and smell of the rug is very good. The hairs adhere to the back lining well and don't shed even with my cat trying to bite it out. The only downside unfortunately is aesthetic— the cream brown I ordered, in natural light/sun shining on it, looks more yellowish - gold.

Great Quality!

I have owned many sheepskins before and this one is by far the best deal. Cheaper than similar sizes, but not in a bad way! It’s a beautiful creamy white, super plush, and is very long. We keep it on the back of our couch and it gives a very cozy vibe. I haven’t had any issues with it shedding. Word of advice for cat owners: When we first got it, it did have a sheepskin smell but it isn’t a gross smell and it went away within a few days; however, my cat was very attracted to that smell and was “attacking” the sheepskin. We trained her not to do it just by spraying her with water—after a few times of that she stopped going anywhere near it. Now that the smell has dissipated, she isn’t attracted to it anymore but does like to sit on it every once and awhile (I can’t blame her, it’s sooooo soft). I saw someone else say their cat ruined their rug, so I wanted to give our story on how we prevented that and hopes it helps another cat owner. You just have to be alert for the first day, maybe even let it off-gas outside first, then keep a spray bottle nearby and the cat should stop messing with it!

Great little rug!

This nice little sheepskin rug is the perfect finishing touch to my little reading nook. It’s soft and thick. Follow the enclosed instructions to fluff it up. I was going to order a second one but saw that the price jumped nearly $10 in a week. It’s nice but it’s not worth that amount. I’d buy it on sale though. Five stars.
