The Last Poets are real artists, and beyond deep, they take your mind to a dark place, however they speak the truth in their music. Thanks for posting.

all these gentrified f#$%s from iowa or oklahoma need to see this to see what we true new yorkers dealt with during the 70's and 80's; how "their" new york used to be and is under the cracks and crevises still is...uno...

I've been searching the internet for hours because I SWEAR that someone sampled this song (not Ice T or NWH) and for the life of me I can not find who it was. SOMEBODY HELP ME.

What the young minds of today fail to understand about the oral tradition of storytelling, spontaneous invention, riffing, rapping and creating the aural complement of expression. Open your eyes, free your mind and your ass will follow.

+terry ruiz that your opinion but the reason why The Last Poets are legendary artists and poets because they were speaking on what was happening. Poverty, racism, etc. This actually was actually happening so please kick rocks. This is not hip hop either this is spoken word. You had institutionalized racism that still go on to this day yet you want to be in denial. Keep sleeping dude.

lol sry if i offend but this is garbage and not rap or even music more like a spoken documentary about new york. this is just as bad as todays gangster crap its come full circle and it needs to die. racist bullshit. ill stick with sugar hill gang and grandmaster flash run dmc and so on.

New York is a state of mind, that doesn't mind fucking up a brother.

Mike Reiss

More like poetry or spoken word set to music than rap. Sounds more like Gil Scott Heron to me.

Some more real rap: Gary Byrd's "Every Brother Ain't a Brother Every Sister Ain't a Sister" and "Are You Really Ready For Black Power".  Last Poets "On The Subway"
