On The One. "Peace Go With You Brother" TOO THE POINT AND TOO THE PERIOD.
i dig how this interview has intergenerational perspectives.
LL IS A SALE OUT.
Mr. El-hadi..A very good man.R.I.P. I lived in the same neighborhood as him growing up. Grew up with his sons
The Last Poets were on top of their game and, from 1972-1995, it was Sulaiman and Jalal Nuriddin (aka "Alafia Pudim" and "Lightnin' Rod") who kept their name alive! Their influence on the development of what is today is called rap cannot be denied and has been admitted by the early pioneers. There is not only room but a need for positive messages in rap, as evidenced by the influence by Public Enemy, KRS1, Eric B & Rakim, X Clan, Nas, Common, Brand Nubian, Queen Latifah, etc. and it is a CRIME that we have allowed the powers that be remove this important aspect of the hip hop medium. It is just as necessary to have a message in music as it was for people like Colin Kaepernick and other athletes to speak their mind in the wake of all the people who have been getting killed, the poisoning of the water in Flint, Michigan, the rise of the prison industry amidst the failure of our schools and the election of Donald Trump for there is more to life than Dancing to the Drummer's Beat! Our Lives Matter."
R.I.P brother. Good man. I remember him fondly
I rem growing up around the Brother Suleiman el
My grandfather 🙂 PBUH
I didn't say that conscious rap started with PE it goes back to Gil Scott Heron and the Last Poets.
PBUH Bro. Suliaman El-Hadi. Although I partially agree with him on what hip hop was back in 1986. But he has to remember that there was a group hip hop artists who took on the Black Nationalist philosophy in which he and Gil Scott-Heron and other elders started. Remember we had Public Enemy, Boogie Down Productions, X Clan, Brand Nubian, Jungle Bros, etc. LL Cool J's music back then was all party music. Also, there was a lot of variety in hip hop music where today in 2012 you don't have that.
Suliaman El-Hadi R.I.P.
