The Station Tapes | The Last Poets | Jamaaladeen Tacuma

The Last Poets are considered to be The Godfathers of hip-hop, bringing poetry onto the turbulent scene in the 1960's. For over 50 years they have persevered, keeping their intent and their mission alive as they seek to enlighten all people about racism, social justice, and personal growth through poetry and music. Earlier this year, Umar Bin Hassan, Abiodun Oyewole, and Baba Donn Babatunde gathered at the Ropeadope Room at the invitation of renowned bassist and producer Jamaaladeen Tacuma. It was there that they listened for the first time to the full album that they had worked on for years. It was an emotional and historic moment, all recorded on camera as part of the 21Soul video series. Shortly afterward, we reached out to each of The Last Poets to record a podcast series to share with the world more about these unique and powerful men.
