Funky Friday: "No Sell Out"
As the month of May comes to a close, The Black Hour would like to continue to honor our ancestor, our hero and our freedom fighter El Hajj Malik el Shabazz, also known as Malcolm X."This recording documents Malcolm’s voice at a time and space in history that some nineteen or more years ago. Its meaning is just as relevant today as it was then."
Dr. Betty Shabazz
From the liner notes of the original LP, Malcolm's queen/wife Dr. Betty Shabazz said “This recording documents Malcolm’s voice at a time and space in history that some nineteen or more years ago. Its meaning is just as relevant today as it was then.
"His belief is that people must constantly monitor behavior, refine goals, and direct their objectives to insure that the right to life and work is a reality. Ultimately, our goals should be peace and brotherhood. After all, the universe belongs to all its inhabitants.”
It is hard, it is funky and raw, just like our brother. The sounds of the 1980s drums and snares, and bass highlight select words from Malcolm in a way that emphasizes his strength as a man, his fearlessness as a truth sayer and his ability to still make you laugh.
The video also features historic and original, inspirational images of Malcolm X.
