One of the GREATEST recordings of all time ! ! !
Shame on our culture for at one time letting this album become rare and out of print... and hands up for it going back in print.
Part blaxploitation on vinyl part Jazzoetry, this recording features some incredibly funky and jazzed out backing music by none other than KOOL AND THE GANG as Lighnin' Rod (a former Last Poet's member) tells his Iceberg Slim style tale of getting over.
A CONCEPT ALBUM taken to ridiculous extremes, Hustlers' Convention is the album that influenced not only the evolution of rap, but document the now almost lost art of Street Poetry...
Fans of Gil Scott Heron, Rudy Ray Moore and the Last Poets will wet their pants within moments of the opening track... and so too will fans of funk and '70s soul... Even I know half the lyrics by heart (however, trust me, you won't hear me making a schmuck out of myself trying to recite it in public...)
Tight production, tight rhymes, tight music and a tight tale... never before was a recording like this made and never will it be made again ! ! ! This is performance, art, poetry, story telling, Jazz, funk and a tale with a moral taken to extremes...
A timeless tale of pimpin' that will never be out topped !
(P.S. Anybody remember who did that avant garde big band recording of Honkytonk Bud in the early '80s... ???)

A Superbly Exuberant Album
I first read about "Hustler's Convention" nearly 20 years ago in Greil Marcus's book "Mystery Train." I finally received a copy through Amazon.com this week: it was worth the wait, but by the same token, why didn't I buy it sooner?! Having read Marcus's synopsis of the album, I knew what to expect in terms of its bleak story line and its connection to the Blaxploitation culture of the early 70s. I was unprepared, however, for the exhuberance of Lightnin' Rod's performance, as well as the tunefulness of Kool & the Gang's musical accompniment.
This is a classic album, and why it has not achieved the fame of contemporaries such as Sly and the Family Stone's "There's a Riot Goin' On," Stevie Wonder's "Innervisions," the O'Jays' "Back Stabbers," or Curtis Mayfield's soundtrack to "Superfly" is a mystery: it is every bit as good as these more celebrated albums, and it is distinct from all of them.
In terms of contemporary Black culture, "Hustler's Convention" is prophetic. It is a crucial link in the historical development of hip-hop culture, and many of the most compelling themes and techniques of rap music are presented here with astonishing force and clarity. The model for Tribe Called Quest, Digable Planets, Prince Paul, the Roots, Talib Kweli, and even Chris Rock is to be found on this record, which builds a bridge between the music of the past twenty years and the glorious tradition of George Clinton, James Brown, Marvin Gaye, and the great concept albums of late 60s rock music.
Anyone interested in African-American music of the last 30 years should seek this album out; I hope as well that a decent record label (Rhino Records: hello?!) will reissue this album and finally give it the distribution and visibility it deserves.
And all this is just my first impression, having heard the album once! I can't wait to play it again!!!
vll hilft dir das weiter...amazon reviews . normalerweise geb ich nicht viel auf die reviews da , aber die schauen ganz brauchbar und informativ aus .
