This is terminally ill. Afro Beat = funk + jazz + fucked up english from Nigeria. Title track is this cool(and true) story bout how the corrupt cops(redundant term amirite?)planted weed on him so he had to eat it so the cops took him to the station and were like aight he'll shit it out so he had to trade his shit with another prisoners. So yeah, the title isn't metaphoric at all. I can tell Fela really hates 'the man' and values 'equality'. Makes me wish I could sell drugs and wear aviators all day instead of just buying alcohol for kids(is that trashy?)Guy was so cool he didn't believe AIDS existed. He died of AIDs in 1997.
RIP FELA KUTI MUSICIAN/ACTIVIST/COOL BRO
