The Last Poets you mean? Yeah... Umar Bin Hassan from the last poets went on stage while derrick was playing "gumbo - submarine" (dance mania). And he did this beautiful poem. Wich I think never got released on an lp... And Sundiatta was drumming even when Derrick spun "bob azzam - batucada por favor". That´s like bringing your 909 on stage and playing the ride cymbal when a track from MR G is playing... If you know what I mean. Cheers, Maarten
