THE LAST POETS


The Last Poets
(1970)
Douglas Records


Dateline: April 23, 2020

According to some, this is on the most wanted list of dangerous albums ever.  When there's things that you're ignorant about or if you're part of a group that creates problems but is swimming in the nile, then you will frame certain people or things dangerous. When you speak truth to power, you’re labeled as a dangerous person, anyway. Look at the Public Enemy logo. A brother in the crosshairs.  It's been like that for generations and continues to be that way.  Especially now that we have a smartphone and receipts to back it up. Tupac said it best, the most dangerous thing is an educated black man because we can open at a whole new world just by opening up a book. The new world order doesn’t want you to know what’s going on. The main goal is to get you distracted. That's why you see the abundance of reality shows, pharmaceutical ads and viral videos of cats playing the piano. It's something to take to edge off while they're working.  Because you can go so far by watching people throwing drinks at each other, watch bears jump on trampolines and getting "healed" through all the side effects.  You're only dangerous if you are hip to the game.  Stay miles ahead then you have an advantage to their world.  It's nothing worse than infiltrating progress but if you can control the mind and dumb down a person that’s on the rise, then things will continue to be business as usual with no problems.

RETURN TO FOREVER- ROMANTIC WARRIOR

Image
Return To Forever Romantic Warrior (1976) Columbia Records Dateline: Saturday, April 11, 2020 Return To Forever is one of those groups who I would love to have seen live back in the day.  The Mahavishnu Orchestra and Weather Report too.  It just feels like magic happens whenever these bands would play.  The unexplained becomes explained.  I can’t forget The Headhunters either with Herbie Hancock. It feels like whenever you catch a Return To Forever show, you better come with it because you're gonna be in for a ride. You get out of breath when the opening drums kicks off.  The pace is like a cheetah in the open land.  The precision is sharp.  The level is high.  It's like drinking five or six Red Bulls.  You have to stay on course or you're gonna get left behind.  It's like the Fusion Frankenstein concocted zoom juice in the lab and seeped it into their instruments.  The monster was unleashed to the audience and ...

VARIOUS ARTISTS- D.C. CAB ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK

Various Artists D.C. Cab Original Soundtrack (1983) MCA Records Dateline: Sunday, April 12, 2020 You throw in a movie with Mr. T, Grady from Sanford and Son, my man from Barney Miller (can't think of his name at the moment), Gary Busey, Marsha Warfield, Paul Rodriguez and Bill Maher and you got what?? The WTF All Stars? I guess at the time, it was a big deal based on all of the names I just mentioned.  It probably didn't make a difference how suspect the movie was. Mr. T alone is enough to make you go see it since he was the man back then.  How do I describe D.C. Cab?  Well, to me it's like Car Wash meets Animal House.   A variety of characters that at least keeps you sticking around for a little while.  It does smell like 80s cheese though.  A team working together to make the cab company a success and trying to overcome the odds.  All that while with a high fiving in the air.  At least the soundtrack makes up for the movie....
