		Although the language and subject matter may be disturbing to some readers, and not all the poems hold up on the page as well as when performed, several pieces clearly display the power of these poets.
		These include Umar's "Bum Rush" (a plea to youths not "to die/ in the/ Streets") and Oyewole's "Pelourinho" (a tribute to the resilient spirit of fl people).

	The Last Poets - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Having reached top-10 charts success with their debut album, the Last Poets went on to release the follow-up, This Is Madness, without then-incarcerated Abiodun Oyewole, an album which featured more politically charged poetry and which resulted in the group being listed as part of the counter-intelligence program (founded by then-President Richard Nixon).
		In the 1980s and beyond, however, the group gained renewed renown with the rise of rap, often being name-checked as grandfathers and founders of the new music movement, and themselves collaborated with Bristol based British post punk band The Pop Group, among others.
		Nuriddin and El-Hadi (El-Hadi is now deceased) worked on several projects under the Last Poets name, including 1984's Oh My People and 1988's Freedom Express, after which Oyewole and Hassan began recording separately under the same name, releasing Holy Terror in 1995.

	Djembe Online - No 18: CD-review: ABIODUN OYEWOLE: '25 Years'
		I think it was mostly the slightly older generation, who remembered and recognized The Last Poets, when they played their gig at Roskilde Festival this summer.
		Then as now, Abiodun uses his poetry as his political weapon and has no fear of becoming a guiding light for bringing about change in the fl community.
		Anyone tired of the endless repetitions and often meaningless lyrics of commercial music, anyone interested in the development of fl music, anyone who deems Abiodun's righteous truths as imperative, should make '25 Years' a part of their CD collection.
