12683203, The Last Poets have been retroactively assimilated

into hip-hop's canon.
But the Poets were not a part of hip-hop, nor were their records that influential on the development of hip-hop at the outset.
Well... that's not completely true. Their political "Last Poets" records were not, but what WAS was a side project recorded under the name Lightnin' Rod

Now THAT was a cornerstone of early hip-hop
