  • Brilliant!

  • The Last Poets best album

  • Truth put to rhythm. A song about the path of the chosen!

  • Stop the YouTube Ban of The New Poets and Gil Scott Heron just because they use certain words. Not cool, youtube. not cool at ALL. SO WRONG ITS BACKWARDS.

  • God I love these men!

  • I had this Album, I ended up giving it o a girl she gave me a Video of The Roots live in London when they only had out their Ep It was a rare video she did street promotions for the lable they were with when they drop their first Album. Damn I miss my Album the fucking VCR tape Pop LMAO

  • Thanks for posting this! I had always heard about The Last Poets, but I've never really heard much of their stuff before.

  • Truth damn this is the realness. My dad had all of their albums.

  • save the babies, they are the future. Self Educated Babies so we are not some freaking EDUCATED FOOLS. WE NEED TO WAKE UP. Be ORIGINAL ONCEMORE. THE ORIGINATORS

  • the real african spirit come on !

  • Thanks queria escuchar algo de estos pioneros del hip hop

  • i sing the blues because mankind is committing global suicide. Nobody gives a goddamn.

  • Here goes nothing" BLESSED!

  • No better words have been spoken about the genocide of our Ancestors and the mis-education about our history. Truth is not pretty, but neither is the stealing of a people from their native land brought to the shores of a place where lazy people used God to justify why they had a right to di-humanized them into servitude. A sang the Blues everytime I see us being given one month to celebrate a legacy.

  • Preach! I couldnt have said it better! & much appreciation goes to legends like the last poets who were a true voice for our black people.

  • randall-please add eugene mcdaniels to the

    list-"Real Compared to What".

  • May Allah grant Shaykh Sulayman Abdul Hadi(Rahiimullah) speedy entry into Jinnah and May Also preserve Jalaluddin my chi sao buddy, Ameen. These men made great sacrifices to give a voice to the dumb, hearing to the death and sight to the blind.

  • TANKS... It's comforting to see that my eyes are not the only ones still open wide enough to publish trouth without fear of the reptiles...

    Jah guide and protect.

    " WADADA" Dan

  • Brother touched by your props to the poets Respect

  • Wow. I haven't heard this since 1970-I sing the blues because I have to leave this country in order to find a job

  • I sing the blues that this government is corrupt from top to bottom

  • Apparently you don't understand English. I said "or". Which part did you not understand? I know the Last Poets at least as well as you do.

  • Thank you for this. There are clowns that comment on some rap videos that think "rap" was invented in the 80's. They have never heard of the Last Poets or Gil Scott-Heron. To anyone who likes this, I also advise getting CD's by the Watts Prophets, a 90's group.

  • So Glad Somone noticed  "BIG TANKS YAH"

  • I SING THE BLUES THAT YALL CANT FIND THESE WEAPONS OF MASS CONSTRUCTION I SING THE BLUES FOR FALSE MEDIA THE BUSH ADMINSTATRATION CARRYING OUT THESE WAR FUNCTIONS I SING THE BLUES FORWARD TO THE LAST DAY OF REVALATION I SING THE BLUES CAUSE ONLY GOD CAN PROTECT OUR NATIOn

  • Man he is talented, from ahat if i heard and read about Gil Scott he's got too be the most sincere revoluntaire artist of his time. i'm here to interact with people and will love for people to tell me how much do u think the secrect society have affected people all ova the world..secrect society a.k.a the illumanti and how many other's believe that most of the conditions man is livin under has to do with Bible PROPHERCIES.

  • If you are saying that the poet in this piece is Gil Scott that is a mistake..the poet in this piece is named Jalaladeen Nasirudeen (aka Alfia Pudim)

  • Put this into context- it is not only black people, latinos or our middle eastern brothers that are being suppressed and born into New World Order Slavery, but also the caucasians, the white men and women who have thought for so long that they were safe, that will now be enslaved by the corporate tyrannical governments, and for that I sing the blues

  • amen

  • Agreed. I am a white, college educated male raised with Ronald Reagan values and went into the corporate world to secure the American Dream for myself. What a sucker! Long hours, low pay, puny raises, abusive bosses, conformity, monotony, excessive workloads - This is stupid. These corporate managers only want money for themselves and we're too desperate for a paycheck to stick up for ourselves. Who's the house negro now?

  • your eyes are truly open

  • RESPRET DUE to one who still have eyes and ears that function proprely... wadada (peave and love)

  • I understand thier views (this is early 70's anger)you must put this anger into historical context.
