Music : The Last Poets
1 2
Rating: 
- The Last Poets - Niggers Are Scared of Revolution
This album's original title when it was released in 1969 is "THE LAST POETS - Niggers Are Scared of Revolution". Just Like Gil Scott-Heron's "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" Album, these two albums captured the new emotions of the Black community during a time of change. It capture the change in this country for White Women, White folks in the way they think, the Black communities, now known today as African-American communities, across America, and it captures young individuals trying to make a differences within their own community.
This album, even though the original title has been deleted, still represents the Civil Rights moment for everyone living in America today and I am proud to have been able to finally obtain this album after 30 years of searching. The youth of today needs to listen to this album and learn the history of the Black community and how to bring about change within their own communities without bullets and drugs.
Other albums I would recommend for the listener of today are: "It's Nation Time" by poet and playwriter Imamu Amiri Baraka (Leroy Jones), "The Blue Guerrilla" by poet Galan Kain, "Message From The Grassroots" by Malcom X, "Winter In America and The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" by Gil Scott-Heron, and finally "The Enermy Strikes Black" by Public Enermy.
Rating: - I should only love that which is me...
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.
Rating: - One of the best
This was one of the best CDs I have purchased. If you like old school with a little humor, check this out.
Rating: - A step back
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! linda

- Oversized
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!
