black spirits: festival of new black poets in america' (1972) - norman jordan's poem 'one-eyed critics'. This was recorded in the Apollo and after my friend met Norman Jordan, (today actually) we were informed that Norman never received credit or royalties for his poem being used. I think that is a shame.

I wish this beat would loop forever.

this is joimt you hear as a black man and just smile respect !!

amazing, i could listen to this beat all day, soul touching for real

@PolarEntLLC I've had this beat stuck in my head for the past two days now, i wish there was a version with emcee's rapping over it

Knowing the unjustifiable American history of Africans I applaud and admire those who rise above. The struggle imposed upon Africans perhaps shouldn't be used an excuse for anything but the reality of it is unprecedented.

cool tune, one of the best!

Does anyone know how raw and amazing this interlude beat with real society street poetry???

@lilwil132 @lilwil132 i hear it's from the album 'black spirits: festival of new black poets in america' (1972) - specifically, norman jordan's poem 'one-eyed critics' - but i've been unable to confirm that by actually listening.

“3:30 in the morning with not a soul in sight

We're all family. We're brothers and sisters of humanity. Children of freedom, equality, justice and peace.

This is the kind of mind-set we don't have, it's all capitalism about money and shit, while people like Mos Def are trying to spread the messages of understanding. You, sir, are a perfect example of the perfect citizen. Keep up the love homie.
