An era of its own. A time when American was in a transition from separatism to civil rights. The 70's was a Golden Age on so many levels and the influence echoes around the world in present day. Blaxploitation is considered in my opinion to be the coolest of cool. Touching on the most sensitive material in America at its time and exploiting them on the big screen or the vinyls in your record player produced for a glorified genre that nobody will ever be able to duplicate. Our mission at Blax-Pride is to educate those who are unfamiliar with this era and combine knowledge with those who are familiar.
Also you will notice Kung Fu movies on this site as well. What does this have to do with Blaxploitation? Well, the more action packed Blaxploitation films did not just street fight. Oh no.....they thought they were Kung Fu Masters. Chinese martial art movies gave a sense of invincibility to these actors. Seeing how cool it was to be a masterful fighter, why not just integrate this with Pimpin', Hustlin', Jive Talkin' and Pam Grier? Blax-Pride!!!

Its seems like all of Zands hard work in uploading JB's discography may have been for nothing. I have checked the links and the Shareonall.com website have kicked the bucket. This is tragic because most of the albums uploaded was by Zand, so I honestly do not know how many links are dead. We will need to think of a solution to get things right again. Sorry for the inconvenience if you were not able to collect the albums in time and Zand I am sorry that all that effort was wasted by the website.

hey selfscience -
shareonall dying really blows, sorry you got hit hard with that. this blog, especially with those legends posts, does phenomenal work, i'd be happy to help get those links up again. i've got most of those JB albums, so if you tell me which albums got hit, i'd be willing to put 4-5 up on my RS account (Zand, assuming that's cool with, obviously). lemme know,
ksn
I've also got quite a lot since before and might be able to help out to fill some voids. I'm really, really sorry as this was a truly heroic effort on Zands part.
That's very unfortunate. Have you guys ever considered using Sharebee? It basically uploads your stuff on up to 4 different upload sites of your choice (rapidshare, zshare, megaupload, badongo, etc.) all at the same time.
www.sharebee.com if you want to try it out.
Here's a couple of related items.
