Sad sad news and good ones, first seems Poor Righteous Teachers discography is on the way for re-issues, if you can't wait check their "Rare and Unreleased" compilation, both PE albums are great ("New Whirl Odor" and Paris produced "Rebirth Of A Nation"), now some obituaries, first we salute Ms Coretta Scott King(even if I disagree with the method, they're Black Pride and fighting pioneers), Gordon Parks (photographer, writer, movie maker, remember "Shaft", "The Learning Tree"? it's his work), Wilson Pickett and now Professor X from X Clan and Blackwatch fame (remember that with BDP, Brand Nubian, PRT, PE, and some others they belong to that conscious/afrocentric wave of late 80ies rap), fortunately for us we still have some people (now more hailing from Dirty South or West Coast) like Dead Prez, The Coup, Paris, and people like Nas show they're not only bling bling(right Biggie S?). Some good readings, well start with "We Want Freedom" from Mumia Abu Jamal...some news from the BADAZZMOFO camp, David Walker's new movie, "Uncle Tom's Appartment" is ready featuring Diana Devoe, Ted Lange( "Love Boat" fame), A Wone amidst others...is it useful to talk about Artur Jorge's departure from ILICS ? For those who still don't understand...
