"2009 was a big year for black faces on the news stand, I'm still not sure who got move magazine covers, President Obama or Michael Jackson. One of my favorite MJ covers is Wax Poetics Issue 37, featuring Mike looking at us in the eye, makes you wonder what was on his mind."
The Roots of Led Zeppelin
1 recommendation
"Yeah, I was one of those kids who thought bands like the Rolling Stones, and Led Zeppelin had sculpted their songs from the streets of England, only to discover (much too late) that the British Invasion that they were part of wasn't only about radio play but also something more interesting--reinterpreting, repackaging, and remarking American Blues music!! Yeah, I know It's not a music industry se..."

Spiritual Jazz: Esoteric, Modal and Deep Jazz from the Undergound, 1968-77
1 recommendation
"The music on this album reflects the social and historical forces at work during the closedown of the '60s dream; music made by close-knit collectives and individual visionaries, by prisoners and eccentrics, by mystics and political radicals. It includes music by acknowledged masters, and moments of brilliance by unsung figures known to us from just one or two recordings. There are songs from pris..."

All You Need Is Love - Tony Palmer
2 recommendations
"There is a code that is hidden in the music you listen to, and by the way this particular code is not made of music notes or digital polarization, the body of this code is generated from cultural, political, geographical and historical events which have been suppressed to the point that the sum of them all have become one of America's biggest national secrets. What's more is the code was cracked b..."
Curtis Mayfield - Curtis

"Curtis Mayfield (wow, I should have brought out his albums on my last long drive). Curtis Mayfield could be played any place any time--even as a James Bond Theme song, that's how expansive his sound is. my pick would be "If There's A Hell Below We're All Going To Go""

Madvillain (Madvillainy)
5 recommendations
"With Madlib's incredible mix of jazzy, head bumpin' beats and MF Doom's lyrical winds this is one you'll have in your weekly rotation. This is the un-Hip Hop, Hip-Hop CD. If you appreciate lyricism layed over some beats you've never heard; I introduce you to Madvillain. This is a must for any music lover with good taste and an I.Q. over 100. Quasimoto also comes in on "Americas Most Blunted""

1 recommendation
"The original album What's Going on is a master pice best experienced on vinyl - partly because the album is produced a sound space divided in two. The 40th Anniversary addition contains the original trax as well as a load of rare songs that don't enhance the overall experience, but are a great mix of songs to put in different playlists. But before I dismiss the additional tracks as just extra, the..."
Roots (Four-Disc 30th Anniversary Edition)

"I think every black actor in Hollywood in the 70's was in this movie. This movie was huge! I remember all my classmates of all backgrounds talking about Roots and being home like clockwork to watch it. I even think this miniseries was integrated into my classes. This movie was a phenomenon. It chronicled the life and descendants of Kunta Kinte, an African man enslaved, brought to America and force..."
