Los Last Poets es un grupo duradero, ya lleva 25 años actuando. Empezaron en el Apollo Theatre y actuaron con artistas como BB King, Curtis Mayfield y Aretha Franklin. Hicimos esta entrevista en 1997 sobre la música rap moderna y hiphop.

"The Last Poets started out as Political community activists and what we wanted to do was articulate what 400 years of the legacy of slavery meant to us emotionally, psychologically and spiritually in America. Because all this was kept hidden inside our guts. And that began the birth of rap. The word rap means to place the blame on a guilty party."
