✨ 1. Released in 1970, their self-titled debut album is widely considered a foundational blueprint for modern hip-hop, blending spoken-word poetry with African percussion.
✨ 2. The group took its name from a poem by founding member Abiodun Oyewole, which warned that because the world was entering a violent new era, they were "the last poets" before guns would replace words.
✨ 3. Because of their radical political messages and affiliation with the Black Arts Movement, the FBI placed the group on surveillance lists during the early 1970s.
