专辑介绍

by John Bush

Disregard the understated title; Small Talk at 125th and Lenox was a volcanic upheaval of intellectualism and social critique, recorded live in a New York nightclub with only bongos and conga to back the street poet. Here Scott-Heron introduced some of his most biting material, including the landmark &The Revolution Will Not Be Televised& as well as his single most polemical moment: the angry race warning &Enough.& Still, he balances the tone and mood well, ranging from direct broadsides to clever satire. He introduces &Whitey on the Moon& with a bemused air (&wanting to give credit where credit is due&), then launches into a diatribe concerning living conditions for the neglected on earth while those racing to the moon receive millions of taxpayer dollars. On &Evolution (And Flashback),& Scott-Heron laments the setbacks of the civil rights movement and provides a capsule history of his race, ending sharply with these words: &In 1960, I was a negro, and then Malcolm came along/Yes, but some nigger shot Malcolm down, though the bitter truth lives on/Well, now I am a black man, and though I still go second class/Whereas once I wanted the white man's love, now he can kiss my ass.& The only sour note comes on a brush with homophobia, &The Subject Was Faggots.&
