M/X at his rawest
Andre M. | Mt. Pleasant, SC United States | 01/15/2004
(4 out of 5 stars)

"This is an exciting (if somewhat unrealistic in parts) speech given by M/X after his break from Elijah Muhammad and prior to his epiphany in Mecca. Here, he suggest in rather colorful language and wild jokes his case for violent revolution for Black Americans in the face of segregation and police brutality. Unfortuantely, many of his later imitators never seemed to understand that such rhetoric was a means of scaring the powers-that-be into "doing the right thing," not a literal call to arms. But in either case, put this speech in the context of what was happening to Black America in 1964 and listen with an open mind."
