about

For the first time these beat tape documentaries are available in a complete CD set. The physical CD versions are in their fullest form, unedited, continuous play. Bonus download material includes 3 instrumental albums previously unreleased. Now you can pass the information and extend the knowledge with a deluxe boxset which includes a 8 page cd booklet. Thats 9 albums including the instrumentals.

True to Marc Mac’s original goal of passing on knowledge to new generations, each audio documentary is designed to prompt the listener to dig deeper. Song titles are overt clues: All Power To The People includes “Geronimo,” a track that combines steely, open hi-hat flashes with dialogue introducing Black Panther member Geronimo Pratt, who went from military veteran to human rights activist, and who was jailed for 25 years for murder before having his sentence vacated. Someone hearing the song might be prompted to Google Pratt’s name, where they would learn he was 2Pac’s godfather—a further link between generations and movements.

“The whole thing is, I’m just trying to give people the names and soundbites to do their own research,” says Mac. “You have to look at these albums as chapters in a book: You go from the civil rights movement to Martin Luther King focusing on the war and poverty, then the Panthers were talking about poverty too with things like the Free Breakfast For School Children Program. It’s all connected.”
