Editorial Reviews

This 20 track collection comprises highlights from the five albums the group made for the Douglas and Celluloid labels between 1970 and 1984, as well as the much sought-after rarity, 'Doriella Du Fontaine', an impromptu recording from 1969 in which group member Lightnin' Rod was joined in the studio by Buddy Miles and Jimi Hendrix. Charly. 2005.

This review is from: Very Best of the Last Poets (Audio CD)
The words in these songs are beyond their time. The message is still there in 2006. The last Poets are awesome.

4.0 out of 5 stars Godftathers of Rap, October 23, 2008
This review is from: Very Best of the Last Poets (Audio CD)
Raw, in parts vitriolic the last poets pull you into their world effortlessly - no matter the cultural and (for most of us) socio-political distance.

Including Doriella Du Fontaine featuring Hendrix on guitar, this collection is a must have for any fan of rap, r&b or funk music.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Very Best of the Last Poets (Audio CD)
Most of the reviews for this album talk about it's great social statement, historical record etc. I'm not an American, so I'm not connected to all that history, but I want to say that this is a great album just to listen to! It is great music, great poetry - it is exciting to listen to performers so completely dedicated to their subject matter.
