Catalog #: CELL 6101LP
Exact repro of the 1984 Celluloid reissue of the Last Poets' debut album, originally released in 1970 on the Douglas label. "If rap could be traced to one logical source point, this exceptional album would be it, without question. With their politically-charged raps, syncopated rhythms and dedication to raising African-American consciousness, the Last Poets almost single-handedly laid the groundwork for the emergence of hip hop. Featuring the classic 'When The Revolution Comes'."
