Wax Poetics Curtis at the Movies

Source: www.waxpoetics.com
The Super Fly soundtrack was a phenomenal success, so it’s no wonder that Curtis Mayfield was tapped again to score another film. Based on the play by Miguel Piñero, Short Eyes (1977) is a gritty prison drama in which Mayfield has a cameo appearance.

Just watched Short Eyes earlier in the week. One of my favorite films. Wish I was around to see the play. Watched the Pinero bio-pic last week as well. Interesting film.

The opening lines to 'The Low End Theory' are 'Back in the days when I was a teenager/ Before I had status and before I had a pager.' 'You could find the Abstract listening to hip-hop/ My pops used to say it reminded him of bebop' is the second couplet. Not to be snooty about it.
