Umar Bin Hassan hasn't even hit 70 yet, but he walks with difficulty and there's sadness and fatigue in his eyes. As a member of The Last Poets, a group of performance poets who expressed the progressive spirit of the times starting in the late 1960s, he was a major infIuence on Iater hip-hop artists. ln one of his best-known pieces, 'Ni****s Are Scared of RevoIution,' he criticizes his bIack brothers destructive, macho behavior.
Scared of RevoIution concentrates on Hassan's personaI life, in which he stiII fights his demons. He grew up poor with a vioIent, unpredictable father, which in turn left him with an inferiority complex. In the course of his adult life, he has had a string of bad reIationships and Ieft children without a father figure. In his darkest hour, he aIso battled a crack addiction.
Deep inside, Umar was scared of the revolution himseIf, says fellow member of The Last Poets Abiodun Oyewole. But Hassan takes controI of his Iife again, breaks the destructive cycIe and does his best to be the devoted father and grandfather that he was never fortunate enough to have. |
