"It is not a color It is the bases of all colors It is not a complexion It is a reflection Of all complexions called human And out of this Blackness Passion flows like a river"
Damn........This brings tears to my eyes. Black...... is me! A man of pure carbon! A man that is composed of all that the universe has to offer!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 This is refreshingly uplifting. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤟🏿🤟🏿🤟🏿🤟🏿🤟🏿🤟🏿
Was introduced to this song by my former tutor, (thanks). The lyric gave me food for thought, it tells me that we are powerful a African nation, the salt of the earth, we should never give up the fight to achieve our aspirations despite the obstacles we face, keep marching forward, but remember not to hurt anyone as you move forward because it will come back and bit you in the butt, etc.
Black is sound ,rhythm many enjoy our song but they don't hear our blues .Black is melanted, meditation, it is endless like the universe blk is always n forever.
Wonderful message to the earth. If there was a little more understanding of one another, what a beautiful world we could live in. Thank you so much for sharing. Are there any more poetry this poet has, if so , please send them to me. Thank you.
The ONLY RAP music I can handle ! Love these cats and I am white but wish the world would get it's "s-ht" together...Namaste ( wear your covid mask people we gotta get rid of 1 source of oppression) Z.
@@maryseo. Hello, I'm the woman who only digs Rap, in the form of The Last Poets- you replied I'm missing out on alot of great music- so, sincerely WHO should I check out? I love music and open to suggestions- Namaste
@@MSYNGWIE12Tupac is a rap artist I'd recommend, if I may. His early catalog was heavy on revolutionary philosophy due to his upbringing around the Black Panthers, and a lot of his music has a conscious tone to it. A few personal favorites I'd suggest are "Brenda's Got A Baby", "Holler If You Hear Me", "Dear Mama", and "So Many Tears." You might not become a fan (which is perfectly fine), but it seems you may be open-minded enough to appreciate some of his artistry.
Your right because we stand so so ignorant to the truth of the truth that we can't see the truth and we need so many people the speaking the truth 3D shoot across to us as the people the chosen people oh wow I said why because when I was trying to save the people of yahshua somehow this this page would not allow me to say the people of yahshua this is so beautiful and so powerful they need to be spokes to all our sisters and brothers because this time first to hear the truth and love and embrace one another
The best group of real black roots.
I was 15 when I discovered them 1973...WONDERFUL

Mannnn I way 10yrs but yet I could grasp what was being said and taught at the same time,.....this was deep,...I felt every word💪🏾
"It is not a color
It is the bases of all colors
It is not a complexion
It is a reflection
Of all complexions called human
And out of this Blackness
Passion flows like a river"
The Last Poets are definitely the true masters of Spoken Word Rap Poetry.

Understand we people are but one species living aside all others. Love and respect each other and this planet we live on.
Beautiful thanks for sharing these Kings spoken word.
Our youngins and young adults need to hear, and internalize this more now than ever.
I was 17 when I first heard them and I have always loved them. They were the truth of today. I loved them as they spoke the truth.
I used go to Abiodun house on sundays poetry meetings off 125st Harlem great times.
