Jalaluddin Mansur Nuriddin a.k.a. Lightnin' Rod was the fearless leader of proto-rap pioneers the Last Poets during their heyday. Here is his funky (backed by Kool & the Gang!) 1973 solo offering Hustler's Convention, a concept album and cautionary tale about hustlin' as only a true hustler of good faith such as Nuriddin could deliver. There's no reason why I need to go into detail about this gem when you can get the inside story straight from the man who created it right here: http://www.grandfatherofrap.com/hustlers.html Tracks:
1. Sport
2. Spoon
3. The Cafe Black Rose
4. Brother Hominy Grit
5. Coppin' Some Fronts For The Set
6. Hamhock's Hall Was Big
7. The Bones Fly From Spoon's Hand
8. The Break Was So Loud, It Hushed The Crowd
9. Four Bitches Is What I Got
10. Grit's Den
11. The Shit Hits The Fan Again
