360 Degrees of Power is the only full-length studio album by American rapper, author, and activist Sister Souljah.
[4] The album was met with criticism, not only for its performances—most of which were angry spoken-word tirades that Souljah screamed rather than traditional hip-hop rhymes—but also because of its controversial lyrics.
[1][5][6] Dennis Hunt of the Los Angeles Times called the album "a stark, disturbing primer on black power", writing that Sister Souljah "uses crude street language and scathing humor to convey her controversial ideas".
[9] The Deseret News wrote that "the record fails by being too dogmatic to be entertaining, too hateful to be inspiring, too shallow in its musical and lyrical reach to be catchy.
"[4] Trouser Press wrote that "Souljah’s militant Afrocentricity contains such positive elements as self-reliance, self-defense, entrepreneurship, unity and education, but proceeds into paranoia ... syllogism ... and absurd sexism".
