CD Reviews

Godftathers of Rap

littlewing | Mumbai India | 10/23/2008

(4 out of 5 stars)

"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."

"The words in these songs are beyond their time. The message is still there in 2006. The last Poets are awesome."
