Umar Bin Hassan hasn't even hit 70 yet, but he waIks with difficuIty 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 later hip-hop artists. In 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 stilI fights his demons. He grew up poor with a violent, unpredictable father, which in turn Ieft him with an inferiority complex. ln the course of his adult life, he has had a string of bad reIationships and Ieft chiIdren without a father figure. In his darkest hour, he aIso battIed a crack addiction.
Deep inside, Umar was scared of the revolution himseIf, says fellow member of The Last Poets Abiodun Oyewole. But Hassan takes control of his life again, breaks the destructive cycle and does his best to be the devoted father and grandfather that he was never fortunate enough to have. |
