1	The Very Best of the Last Poets (2006) more music like this by The Last Poets This Charly anthology of the seminal Last Poets packages tracks from their Douglas albums recorded between 1970 and 1972 -- Last Poets and This Is Madness. There are also cuts taken from Jazzoetry and Delights from the Garden. The real treasures aside from the militant soulful rap done to a polyrhythmic beat, deep jazzed-out post-bop, and the ... see all copies from $12.01! new only from $12.01!
2	Stolen Moments: Red Hot + Cool (1994) more music like this by Various Artists Stolen Moments: Red Hot + Cool is undoubtedly the most successful incarnation of the Red Hot albums whose proceeds go toward research in fighting the AIDS virus. Unlike fellow albums in this series, which generally reinterpret the work of several classic songwriters (Gershwin, Porter, Jobim, etc.), Red Hot & Cool is a collection of new material ... see all copies from $4.98!
3	The Last Poets [Fuel 2000] (1970) more music like this by The Last Poets If rap could be traced to one logical source point, this exceptional piece of vinyl would be it, without question. Though the strict adherence to syncopated rhythms and standard song structures are absent, all the elements that would later become the hallmarks of hip-hop by the early 1980s (and predictable fare by the 1990s) are here: vivid ... see all copies from $12.20! new only from $12.20!
4	Right On! (1970) more music like this by The Last Poets The foundation work for latter-day rappers -- Afro-centric themes, improvisational vocal styles, obscenity, and a political slant. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $8.24! new only from $10.28!
5	The Last Poets (1970) more music like this by The Last Poets If rap could be traced to one logical source point, this exceptional piece of vinyl would be it, without question. Though the strict adherence to syncopated rhythms and standard song structures are absent, all the elements that would later become the hallmarks of hip-hop by the early 1980s (and predictable fare by the 1990s) are here: vivid ... see all copies from $7.98! new only from $12.00!
6	This Is Madness (1971) more music like this by The Last Poets A legendary set featuring a group of extremely controversial street poets. The Last Poets used offensive language brilliantly, talked in graphic detail about America's social and racial failures, and helped expose a wider audience to the sentiments of the '70s black nationalists. They were the forerunners of today's Afrocentric rappers, and also ... see all copies from $9.95! new only from $12.00!
7	Retro Fit (1992) more music like this by The Last Poets see all copies from $2.40! new only from $2.40!
8	Poetry Is Black (2002) more music like this by The Last Poets Reissued as part of Collectables' Black History Series, Poetry Is Black is essentially a reissue of the Last Poets' album Right On! with a different running order from the original. This is outspoken street poetry from 1970, dedicated to raising black consciousness. Aside from the direct political diatribe, the foreshadowing of rap is heard on ... see all copies from $10.28! new only from $10.28!
9	Holy Terror (1994) more music like this by The Last Poets With Holy Terror, the Last Poets lay their claim to be the originators of hip-hop. Containing some of the Poets' most trenchant political and social lyrics, Holy Terror shows the Last Poets, Umar Bin Hassan and Abiodun Oyewole, still as fiery and sharp as ever. "Homesick" and "Pelourinho" are descriptions of slavery that are as vivid and riveting ... see all copies from $13.73! new only from $13.73!
10	Malcolm X: Music and Dialogue from the Original Motion Picture (1972) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $3.99!
11 view cover	Breaks Sessions (2002) more music like this by Various Artists Possibly infuriating the blurry-eyed crate-diggers and wannabe DJs who have spent hours finding some of these proverbial needles in the haystack at garage sales and record fairs, Breaks Sessions spreads 30 rare, no-longer-rare, and never-were-rare cuts from the R&B vaults that time (or label catalog departments) forgot across two discs. Enticing ... see all copies from $15.42! new only from $15.42!
12 view cover	All Day Thumbsucker Revisited (1995) more music like this by Various Artists Chronicling the short-lived indepenedent label Blue Thumb Records, All Day Thumbsucker features selections from the label's biggest artists. From 1968 to 1974, Blue Thumb had a diverse roster, featuring art and progressive rockers like Dave Mason, Love, Captain Beefheart, and Tyrannosaurus Rex, bluesmen like Albert Collins and John Mayall, and ... see all copies from $29.98!
13	The Prime Time Rhyme of the Last Poets, Vol. 1 (1995) more music like this by The Last Poets see all copies from $5.94!
14 view cover	Chastisement/Freedom Express (1997) more music like this by The Last Poets Some 16 years separated the releases of Chastisement and Freedom Express, both found on this two-fer; the former, from 1972, is by far the stronger of the two -- recorded with former jazz drummer Suliaman El Hadi, it added jazz and funk to the group's fix to forge a new sound which they dubbed "jazzoetry." 1988's Freedom Express was the re-formed ... see all copies from $48.99!
15 view cover	Our Souls Have Grown Deep Like the Rivers (2000) more music like this by Various Artists Over the years, Rhino Records has proven that it can release well-thought-out and well-produced collections of spoken work recordings. With Our Souls Have Grown Deep Like the Rivers, the company has proven yet again its ability to produce a well-balanced and fascinating collection. Spanning from 1919 to 1999, this double album collects some of the ... see all copies from $22.43!
16 view cover	Blues & Soul Bible (1998) more music like this by Various Artists Although it's a three-disc set including soul favorites like James Brown, Sly & the Family Stone, Otis Redding, Curtis Mayfield and others, Blues & Soul Bible is a bit thin at only 40 tracks (which is approximately 13 selections per disc). John Bush, All Music Guide see all copies from $14.64! new only from $14.64!
17 view cover	Oh My People (1984) more music like this by The Last Poets Updated sound, same powerful message. Michael G. Nastos, All Music Guide see all copies from $8.00! new only from $10.49!
18 view cover	Freedom Express (1989) more music like this by The Last Poets see all copies from $2.99! new only from $16.39!
19 view cover	Delights in the Garden (1977) more music like this by The Last Poets Reactionist/revolutionist/humanist poets on fire. Highly recommended. With drummer Bernard Purdie. Michael G. Nastos, All Music Guide see all copies from $10.64! new only from $12.53!
20	Jazzoetry (1976) more music like this by The Last Poets see all copies from $30.00!
21 view cover	Doing the James Brown (2001) more music like this by Various Artists An entire album of JB covers sounds initially like a project which has got up on the bad foot, but this long-player from Harmless, subtitled "in the footsteps of the godfather of funk" by its compiler (respected journalist James Maycock) works on so many levels that it adds up to an essential purchase for funk aficionados. While some tracks pay ... see all copies from $13.87! new only from $13.87!
22 view cover	Chastisement (1972) more music like this by The Last Poets Along with Gil Scott-Heron, the Last Poets' role in the creation of rap music cannot be overstated, although their 1972 album Chastisement also demonstrates that historical importance does not guarantee universal accessibility. Definitely not easy listening in any sense of the term, Chastisement presents lengthy diatribes set to stripped-down ... see all copies from $3.75! new only from $3.75!
