      From: not4udude@yahoo.com              Show us the coffins: So called Rap music started way back in 69. It was a New       York City poetry collective called: The Last poets. They were black       nationalists who recited those angry poems accompanied with percussion       instruments such as bongos. It was        all based on rhythm, in which was not in my interest. No, I was into noisy       guitars and screaming vocals. This was strip down raw energy. It was powerful       stuff. I bought their album in 1970 called: Next time the fire. When I was       playing it, it walked in        circles in my room pumping my fist up in the air. Revolution! Revolution now!       Even though I disagreed with some of the opinions expressed in the lyrics, the       energy was infectious. Would this sound catch on?         Then came the 80's and 90's and rap music was dubbed: Hip-hop. It started       with Grandmaster Flash and it went to Public Enemy. Then in the 90's came       so-called, "Gangsta (Gangster) rap" and rap went into the commercial toilet       and along came the let's        party and have unproductive sex bullshit. Rap has been in a funk every since.         What I attempt to do here is to remind people what rap use to sound like.       With all the synthesizer gadgetry in un-artistic hands, the songs sound like       as robotic as a washing machine. I did this rap because of the war in Iraq.       The Pentagon did want the        news to take photos of coffins of dead soldiers, because the pro-war spirit       would be deflated. Old School? No! School has been out for years. This is the       real shit.
