The Last Poets, dubbed "the village elders of the rap world" by The New York Times, created two of modern music's most influential albums: The Last Poets (1970) and This Is Madness (1971). Light In The Attic & Vampi Soul are honored to reissue both records as a deluxe edition double CD. Combining politically charged street poetry with inventive yet tribal percussion, these records sparked the rap revolution and, historic achievements aside, thrilled fans with chart-topping music that still resonates more than 30 years later.
This new double-CD set of The Last Poets and This Is Madness features beautiful packaging that befits the music's landmark status. Public Enemy's Chuck D and Professor Griff, spoken-word master Saul Williams, and many others contribute to the accompanying 24-page, full-color booklet that documents The Last Poets' influence with insightful commentary, rare photos, original advertisements, and complete lyrics. Rediscover who Ice Cube calls "the first real hardcore rappers": The Last Poets.
