Radio Nova revisite ses propres classiques : les raretés de tous bords qui rythment notre antenne, de la soul-funk au hip-hop en passant par les musiques afro-latines et la pop. Aujourd'hui : « Pusherman » de Curtis Mayfield.Notre Nova Classic du jour est aussi un classique de blaxploitation : il s'agit de « Pusherman » de Curtis Mayfield. Curtis qui refait son apparition dans les Nova Classics tant le compositeur de Chicago est à lui seul un classique de la soul musique, genre musical cher au 101.5.Sur nos ondes, près d’une trentaine de ses morceaux ont été joués, de « Superfly » à « The Making Of You », en passant par « Right On For The Darkness » ou encore des morceaux de son premier groupe The Impressions. Une formation qu’il a intégré à l'âge de 14 ans et avec laquelle il affirmera non seulement sa sublime voix mais une écriture extrêmement militante. Avec ce premier groupe, il signe des titres qui deviendront des hymnes pour les Black Panthers et plus tôt, pour le mouvement des droits civiques aux États-Unis. Une plume consciente qu’il garde affutée, et lorsque dans les années 70, il signe la B.O du film de blaxploitation Superfly, son discours reste tout aussi militant.On est en 1972 quand sort ce film de Gordon Parks Jr. et Curtis profite de la B.O pour en faire un album concept, qui dénonce cette fois la vie dans les ghettos noirs de Harlem. Comme chez Gil Scott Heron, les addictions sont mises en lumière et Curtis n'hésite pas à tacler les dealers qu'il considère comme les nouveaux esclavagistes…Le chanteur et musicien de Chicago est résolument celui qui a ouvert la voie à des artistes comme Stevie Wonder ou Marvin Gaye d’une écriture plus militante, plus en phase avec les combats de l'époque.Notre Nova Classic aujourd'hui justement c'est « Pusherman », le dealer et vous l’entendez encore sur ce morceau : son goût pour une soul percussive, dans les sons et dans les mots.Visuel © Getty Images / Richard E.

This week on Black on Black Cinema, the guys return to discuss the 1974 Gordon Parks Jr. blaxploitation action classic, "Three the Hard Way" starring Jim Brown, Fred Williamson, and Jim Kelly. The three blaxploitation stars join forces in a film about three men who have to take down a white supremacist organization trying to poison the drinking water of Black people.
Episode seventy-one tackles one of the most iconic Blaxploitation movies ever made (and with good reason) Gordon Parks Jr.'s 1972 classic: Super Fly. Like Shaft, the soundtrack is more popular than the film itself; thanks to the Chicago born soul legend, Mr. Curtis Mayfield. But don't sleep on this film, forty-seven years later you can still see the influence into popular culture and subcultures alike.

Blaxploitation was a staple of the 1970's, and like all genres there are good ones (see Film Detour Episode 2) and bad ones. John Huston once said "We can make 'em BAD too, if that's what they want". Gordon Parks Jr. answered that clarion call with "Three The Hard Way", starring Jim Brown, Fred "The Hammer" Williamson & Fred Kelly. Join us, it'll make ya smile.
This week, we trace the evolution of black American cinema from blaxploitation in the 1970s to what we’re calling "blaxplaining" in 2018. While blaxploitation sought to showcase black actors in dramatic, action-packed films, today’s blaxplaining centers on the challenges of being black in America. We examine three films — "The Hate U Give," "Blindspotting" and "Sorry to Bother You" — and ask if they accurately depict aspects of contemporary black life, or instead merely seek to make some black experiences more palatable to white audiences.Discussed this week:"The Hate U Give" (directed by George Tillman Jr., 2018)"Blindspotting" (directed by Carlos López Estrada, 2018) "Sorry to Bother You" (directed by Boots Riley, 2018)"Coffy" (directed by Jack Hill, 1973)"Slaves" (directed by Herbert Biberman, 1969)"Sweet Sweetback’s Baadasssss Song" (directed by Melvin Van Peebles, 1971)"The Devil Finds Work" (by James Baldwin, 1976)"Lady Sings the Blues" (directed by Sidney J. Furie, 1972)"Mandingo" (directed by Richard Fleischer, 1975)"Jaws" (directed by Steven Spielberg, 1975)"Hammer" (directed by Bruce Clark, 1972)"Truck Turner" (directed by Jonathan Kaplan, 1974)"Shaft" (directed by Gordon Parks, 1971)"Blacula" (directed by William Crain, 1972)"Proud Mary" (directed by Babak Najafi, 2018)"The Equalizer 2" (directed by Antoine Fuqua, 2018)"White Fragility: Why It's So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism" (Robin DiAngelo, Beacon Press, 2018)"Super Fly" (directed by Gordon Parks Jr., 1972)"Dr. Black, Mr. Hyde" (Directed by William Crain, 1976)"Cotton Comes to Harlem" (Directed by Ossie Davis, 1970)"Mahogany" (Directed by Berry Gordy, 1975)"Dancing in the Moonlight" (Still Processing, 2016)
