I don't know if this has been posted here before.

Smokey tells it!!! He even gets some rhymes into his dissertation. I love it.

I just watched that and thank you Mary. I would not be surprised at all if Smokey were not checking out Soulful Detroit. His comments are so right on.

You're welcome, Marv. This video is from some years ago, but I agree, he nailed it.

Saw this when it aired on HBO, I think Smokey was on about 16 years ago.

Def Jam poetry reminded me of the 60's t.v. show SOUL! that aired on PBS-N.Y with Elis Hazlip when he had people like Nikki Giavonni and James Baldwin on.

Yep, great stuff from Russell Simmons & Yasiin Bey [[aka Mos Def).
