Professor Griff is back and not with Public Enemy, but just as hardcore with his new group “The Last Asiatic Disciples.”

For those of you who don’t know Griff, he used to be with the group Public Enemy as their Minister of Information.

During the summer of last year he came under heavy scrutiny about the allegedly anti-semitic remarks he made about Jews. Since that time the group suffered due to protests by the public and different organizations.

As an end result, Griff left the group because of conflicting ideas.

Since that time Griff’s newest release is “Pawns in the Game” under Luke Skywalker Records. Luke Skywalker is a member of the group “2 live Crew,” which has also come under controversy because of the explicit lyrics in their rap songs.

Griff’s album also contains explicit lyrics, but is an album which should be listened to at least once.

The Last Asiatic Disciples consists of Patrick X, B-WYZE, ESD OBIE, LIFE, JXL and derives its name from the main continent of Asia.

The whole album is full of tracks which are very controversial and confront the problems of our society today like racism, stereotypes, drugs and wrong-doings of the U.S. Government.

A track called “1-900 Steoreotype” describes about how blacks are depicted negatively and very minimally in the media and how rappers should stop downing each other because they’re all getting paid.

It also talks about blacks trying to imitate white people by rapping “It’s a ritz or just a regular old cracker, white in the middle and not just blacker than the next man, I know you can, be yourself not the other man….”

One track called “The Word of God Griff on Duty” is a strong vocal letter to the President of the U.S. which tells him of his wrong-doings to the country and the rest of the world.

Another track called “Suzie Wants to be a Rock Star” tells the story of Suzie and how she exploits the United States by becoming a “rock star”_ rock meaning crack and other drugs.

Griff’s album tells his views the way he sees and feels them. You may have your own personal feelings about Professor Griff, but he is back and has put his true feelings on subjects out in the open.
