Free Music Notes for The Last Poets
Free Music Review: I should only love that which is me...
Hit: 5 Stars
It's amazing how the message has been twisted. If you want to see how spoken word (rap) started, get this. The style, force, intensity, creativity, passion and truth of 'the Last Poets' is unmistakable.
After 'Fear of a Black Planet', by Public Enemy...the path diverged with the emphasis being placed on common, egotistical, pornographical, sexist, tripe by the corporate powers that be. Artists that wanted to focus on uplifting, educational, inspirational offerings were ignored, while those that focused on garbage were promoted...the weak, are STILL scared of revolution.
Free Music Review: One of the best
Hit: 5 Stars
This was one of the best CDs I have purchased. If you like old school with a little humor, check this out.Free Music Review: A step back
Hit: 5 Stars
The Last Poets...took me a step back in time. Their words are just as relevant today as when I first heard them...taking the time to LISTEN to their poetry. It was a very turbulent time and the music reflects that. It makes you think. There is no guessing what the words mean or what the message is. The rhythm flows and the words go, describing with intensity the times in this world we live in. Yeah, sit down and listen. Have a cup of coffee; but WAKE UP! lindaFree Music Review: Oversized
Hit: 3 Stars
The music was as expected and the rating of 3 stars is given for the oversize cardboard jewel case. CD producers you may get as cute as you would like but stop making CD in non-standard sizes you create a storage problem [which I guess you do not care about], that could be fixed if music came in the same width and hight.
I enjoyed the music, I saw them live for free at Temple University - Philadelphia, PA. in the 70's. It was good to hear the mood of the period and ideally it should never return, that kind of mood!
Free Music Review: PROPHETIC STYLES UNDER A RADAR
Hit: 5 Stars
"they say it's gold and so it turns into gold" said Antonio Buscamente in his book El Malcriado. The fact is that The Last Poets have been making thought provoking music longer than most people think. Their unique sound and prophetic style has been under the mainstream radar and yet influenced everyone from Jimi Hendrix (who collaborated with The Last Poets)to Jadakiss. It isn't what you know but what you "know." as Bell Hooks phrased it.
