The last poets was my frist exposure to what is now called hip-hop.
Some still like to think that hip-hop is and of it itself, those folk not having been
around long enough to know the truth of the situation. I’ve always had their pictures
put in my head, and I’m now able to get those pictures out with the use of
animation and movies. I hope you like my version of Mean Machine.
If you have checked out any of my early work you can see I’m getting there,
so stay tuned

The definitive video of this classic poem by Jalaluddin (a/k/a "Alafia Pudim a/k/a "Lightnin' Rod") of The Last Poets, As a personal friend of Jalal and the late Shaikh Sulaiman and a poet myself, I am highly impressed by this work of art. Keep it coming – they have a great body of work youth need to hear so that they can develop consciousness and understand the roots of what they call rap today.
