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!!!
I hope everyone is doing well and have told someone close to you how much you love them. Peace, love and happiness. Few announcements I want to make:
- The Disco Godfather soundtrack is re-upped. Mr. Curtis Lamont provided a link for us, so now everyone can have that orgasm you have been waiting for.
- The "Great" Simon over at Neverenoughrhodes.blogspot.com has been keeping Blax-Jive in check with supplying links to fill in Legends Discography. Gil is now complete with the help of him. Also he has provided is better quality rip of J.J. Johnson's Willie Dynamite soundtrack.
- Mr. Zen has informed me of some Blaxploitation movies trailers he has hosted on his blog "Buddah's Drive In." This blog is mainly for adult viewers due to the contents in the blog. He also provided a link to some Fritz the Cat comics.
