The Last Poets is a group of poets and musicians who arose from the late 1960s African American civil rights movement’s black nationalist thread.
Their name is taken from a poem by the South African revolutionary poet Keorapetse Kgositsile, who believed he was in the last era of poetry before guns would take over.
The Last Poets have been cited as one of the earliest influences on what would become hip-hop music; critic Jason Ankeny wrote, “With their politically charged raps, taut rhythms, and dedication to raising African-American consciousness, the Last Poets almost single-handedly laid the groundwork for the emergence of hip-hop.”
The British music magazine NME stated, “Serious spokesmen like Gil Scott-Heron, Gary Byrd, and the Last Poets paved the way for the many socially committed Black a decade later.”

Thanks for this! This is from one of my favorite THE LAST POETS CD's (though it's hard not to like them all) featuring the late Shaikh Sulaiman A. Hadi and Jalaluddin Nurideen (a/k/a "Alafia Pudim").This was Shaikh Sulaiman's last release before he passed and he threw down on this, "Minority of One" and "The Drama." Very positive lyrics (as was "Get Movin'" from the "Oh My People", which is a great companion to his set on this album. ) You owe it to yourself to check them out!
