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!

Album Description
Remastered reissue combines the rap pioneers' first two albums, 'Last Poets' (1970) & 'This Is Madness' (1971). Rev-Ola. 2005.Album Details
The Time was Tight in a Frantic Time When Revolution, Brothers and Sisters, Seemed Just around the Next Corner, Things were Escalating, Politics Seemed Passé, Direct Action was the Way, but to Take Action, One Had to Be Aware and have Self Respect and Knowledge. Into this Came a Unique Group, who Taking Willie Kgositsile's Cue, Became the Last Poets, Men Who'd Lived all the Stuff the Braggers Brag About, Yes, and Had the Jail Time and Whatnot to Show for It, and were Not Impressed with Themselves and Others. No, it was Time to Stand Up, their Apocalyptic Tones Tore Through the Movie "Performance", and Certainly Dispelled Any Lingering Ideas Gil Scott Heron May have Had About Letting Go Poetry and Following his Father as a Star of Celtic. Seen Nowadays as "Fathers of Rap", They were to Echo on to Inspire Public Enemy and Nwa, They Can also Be Seen as the Antithesis of What Rap Became as They Deconstruct with Relentless Pitiless Poetry Every Self Serving Dream You Or I Or them Ever Had.

On the lower frquencies, I speak 4 U.......2005-04-16
Right On is the soundtrack to the film of the same name which was shot in 1968 and released two years later. The film Right On had beem lost for many years except for a rough cut of it released in the mid 90's. The soundtrack however is intact and clear as if it were performed today. It's content is as true now as it was then. The Last Poets performances are powerfull and charged through out the recording. Right On is for those who seek true consciousnes in spoken word poetry and a must for those other 95 percent who snooz.

Album Description
The West Coast's answer to The Last Poets, The Watts Prophets played an integral part in the raising of black consciousness and laying the foundations for rap. Formed at the Watts Writer's Workshop, Anthony "Amde" Hamilton, Otis O'Solomon, and Richard Dedeaux began performing together as Watts Prophets, setting their socially and politically conscious poetry to spare, often jazzy musical backing. They made high-profile guest appearances on Stevie Wonder's Songs In The Key of Life and Quincy Jones' Mellow Madness. And were later the subject of an Emmy-nominated documentary, Victory Will Be My Moan. In 1969, the group debuted with The Black Voices: On the Streets in Watts and, two years later, followed with Rappin' Black in a White World, which featured accompaniment by ex-Motown songwriter/pianist DeeDee McNeil. The radical, incendiary tone of their work fit right in with the emerging black power movement and attracted unfavorable notice from the government, with the home of the Watts Writers Project being destroyed by fire in 1975 after having been infiltrated by an FBI informant. Throughout the years, they've remained sporadically active as performers, and were rediscovered by the hip-hop generation as their records were sampled frequently by many hip-hop artists including Ice Cube, Digable Planets, and Coolio. The Watts Prophets remain dedicated community activists today, promoting creative self-expression and the arts to young people around Southern California and beyond. Two bonus tracks.

Re-membering Black Love.......2006-05-02
Two poets carry on........2005-06-04
The result is a somewhat less aggressive and more homogeneous album-- there's really only ten tracks, the "chants" are just the backing vocals more exposed. It works in some areas, but its clear the band wants to move on and doesn't quite know how to-- the really exciting material that keeps the aggressive moods of the opener ("True Blues", "Time", "White Man's Got a God Complex") work best, the rest isn't quite as interesting.
This release features really nicely cleaned sound and mini-LP sleeve artwork and really makes quite a nice presentation.
Start with their debut, if you enjoyed that one, try this one out, its got its share of good material, but the debut is better.
