	The Last Poets - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		The Last Poets are a group of poets and musicians who arose from the late 1960s African American civil rights movement's fl nationalist thread.
		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.

	On-U Sound In The Area - Jalal biography
		The members of the workshop concurred that they were figuratively these "last poets" and though Little Willie left shortly after, the remainder became wordsmiths and hammered the feelings of their people, and eventually all oppressed people in the world, into the shape and scope of the struggle between despair and hope.
		They were the first rap group to be acclaimed by the people and went on to sell a million records by word of mouth, although they were the last to be acknowledged by the recording industry, who sold their records on the down-low, without the benefit of advertising and promotion.
		Jalal, being somewhat a critical and demanding performer, insured that the association was bound to be short-lived - but not before a 10" single (ON-U DP 22) and album's worth of material (ON-U LP 66) had been committed to wax.

		It's entirely conceivable that if the Last Poets hadn't officially formed on May 16, 1969 (Malcom X's birthday), and begun broadcasting their highly political, distinctively deep and rhythmic wordplay to the world, rap and hip hop might sound very different today.
		Founded by Jalal Mansur Nuriddin, Omar Ben Hassan and Abiodun Oyewole, the group's self-titled debut pried open eyes in 1970; the jazz-funk of the 1972 Chastisement gave birth to “jazzoetry,” and the members (and their resultant splinter groups) have kept going ever since.
		For Roberson, a fast-advancing producer with a diverse clientele ranging from the French hip hop group KDD to multi-Platinum new age artist Jean-Michel Jarre, Jose Feliciano and the upcoming comeback for '80s dance icon Shannon, his own musical journey with the Last Poets began in 2002.
