"Because im not real" - Genius.. We are just bovines compared to this guys mind, Sun Ra was an angel of cosmos and you are all human-bovine.. Get into your living goddammit!!
congratulations. today this video was selected by the New Musiology blog archiving avant garde music. I had the ESP album "Nothing Is" when a teenager, and it influenced all my future music.
"How do you know I'm real? I'm not real, I'm just like you. You don't exist in this society. If you did, your people wouldn't be seeking equal rights. You're not real. If you were, you'd have some status among the nations of the world. I do not come to you as a reality, I come to you as 'the miss', because that's what black people are. Miss. I came from a dream that the black man dreamed long ago. I'm actually a present sent to you from your ancestors. I'm going to be here until I pick out a certain one of you to take back with me." "What if we don't come?" "Them I'm going to have to do to you like they did in Africa; chain you up, take you with me." "Are there any 'Whiteys' up there?" "They're walking there today, they take frequent trips to the moon. I know that none of you have been invited. You think you don't exist? The year 2000 is right around the corner."

@theskyisflying - yes you're probably correct, Cosby was more about the uppers&downers than psychedelics....... shame though..... In the name of expanding your mind, here Sun Ra gives us a run-down on the matter of recreational drugs :- "What it iiiis!"
Can anyone tell me the song the kids are singing? "Thats the Way Love Is" i the title of many a song, but none of them sound like the one the dudes are singing. I've been trying to find out for a long time. What it is, what it IS!
1.01 "Yeea..shiii, aigh prbly take af runnin, I see sumbdy talkin all that mess to me...talkin bout goin a aouta space!" Check out the brain on Princess Leia! Tthat's some ectoplasmic jheri curl she's got goin' on!
Like I said, if you don't get it (which you really don't), then it's ok. Let's not go around in circles on this. I have my way of looking at it and you have your delusional way of looking at it. Really, it's fine.
i dont like many hollywood movies either but when i say blaxploitation im thinking of cheaply made films with not much artistic value. Like dolemite or some shit may be funny to goof on but is it a good movie? Space is the place to me is on par with something like that or blackula lol
Sun was from Philadelphia. He stole his style partly, I think, from the Mummers: Crazy groups of white guys parading through the streets on New Years Day wearing all manner of bangles, spangles, sequins and feathers. Where else would he have gotten the idea? Anyway, he was an original nonetheless. This is priceless footage. Back in the 70s, people made a point that Sun Ra's number was listed in the Philadelphia phone book for anyone to call. I don't know anyone who did, though.
Waaaay ahead of his time...literally. He's amazing!
Lovecraft Country brought me here.
Likewise 😃
Same
I saw him in
Philly 3 times. What a show!!!!! Thank you Sun Ra
Peace
Ray
Philly.
oh man this is a real gem soak it up........
I love how he regards them while they ridicule him between 1:07 and 1:11. Sun Ra rocks! I have some of his cassettes.
I love this piece we need sun Ra here today
@ppc1989ark That's an interesting and presumptuous view to take. I'm a woman and a huge Sun Ra fan. I have almost all of his works on my computer.
"greetings , black youth , planet earth" just this quote make u believe in the alien origin of this genius of art and music
I didnt get it when i first saw this in college. Now i do.
please explain it to me lol i'm so lost
HEAVY!! I know why we never saw THIS in school.
This is what ket my father out of the house...got to respect the music as well as the message. Peace and love
It was the most phenomenal man in the world. Lord rest his soul. I hope you look down on us from Saturn.
SUN RA was a out there dude, r.i.p. This movie was filmed in the bay area and I think the movie is pretty deep.

Happy Birthday, to the GOD, HIMSELF... Sun Ra!
Continue to shine some LIGHT on us, down here, brotha!

genial... foi um grande músico e tinha uma ótima cabeça
weird brilliant sonny, he was one of a kind
Sun Ra is the greatest. I love the cubic zirconia crystal he has. The coolest
LEGEND! Period...
Brilliant poet as well.
My Uncle Eric Walker or Samurai Celestial played the drums for Sun Ra google them in Japan peace!
What it is....what it....is!
A true music god.
another giant who once roamed the earth.
now we got cable and the times when people believed shit ar over
Sun Ra is not the only one beyond the illusion of a dichotomy in the human race...
@TV3020001 Sun Ra was insane before his time.
Ra spoke the honest truth to those kids.
That was Pimpolicious
forever and ever

Myster re Mister Ra!
Wow, that was the pure truth at the time, Malcolm X represent.
He's a shaman.
That's some deep shit.
The snow-flake option that TH-cam has going right now is bad mojo for this. LOL, forget. Love the man, love the myth, love the truth.
Funny how the kids were slow to pick up on the message. The posters on the wall made it seem like they were politically hip.
cosmic wisdom
School em Sun Ra...

"What it iiiis!"
God. What would happen if him and captain beefheart did a duet album?
he*
Would you say, "What if him did an album"?
Where can you buy this movie?
HOTEP!
a true point of LIES!!!
Can anyone tell me the song the kids are singing? "Thats the Way Love Is" i the title of many a song, but none of them sound like the one the dudes are singing. I've been trying to find out for a long time. What it is, what it IS!
i get it....it's really not that hard to grasp...
I love this. But I wonder...have our accents and tone changed over the past 30 years? I don't know anyone that sounds ike this nowadays.
....maybe it's a bit too deep for you...it's ok if it is...
1:37...yo i'm down with dat homie!!
WHAT IT IS?!
Not until OJ's lawyer did another black man manage to persuade so eloquantly on such a clear cut case.
eloquently*
put it in your google machine.
COOL G RAPP
what it is
1.01 "Yeea..shiii, aigh prbly take af runnin, I see sumbdy talkin all that mess to me...talkin bout goin a aouta space!"
Check out the brain on Princess Leia! Tthat's some ectoplasmic jheri curl she's got goin' on!
People have different accents based on the regions they live. Maybe all these people are from a different area from you. Crazy idea, I know.
1:47 HE'S GOT BONKEY DON'GS CRYSTAL COCONUT
man for a minute i thought that was a big ball of crystal meth....
Like I said, if you don't get it (which you really don't), then it's ok. Let's not go around in circles on this. I have my way of looking at it and you have your delusional way of looking at it. Really, it's fine.
i dont like many hollywood movies either but when i say blaxploitation im thinking of cheaply made films with not much artistic value. Like dolemite or some shit may be funny to goof on but is it a good movie? Space is the place to me is on par with something like that or blackula lol
