VA - 100% Blaxploitation [2009] (5 x CD's)


Blaxploitation or blacksploitation is an ethnic subgenre of the exploitation film that emerged in the United States during the early 1970s. The films, while popular, suffered backlash for disproportionate numbers of stereotypical film characters showing bad or questionable motives including criminals, etc. However, the genre does rank among the first in which black characters and communities are the heroes and subjects of film and television, rather than sidekicks or villains or victims of brutality. The genre's inception coincides with the rethinking of race relations in the 1970s. Blaxploitation films were originally aimed at an urban African American audience, but the genre's audience appeal soon broadened across racial and ethnic lines. Hollywood realized the potential profit of expanding the audiences of blaxploitation films across those racial lines. The Los Angeles National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) head and ex-film publicist Junius Griffin coined the portmanteau from the words "black" and "exploitation." Variety credited Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song and the less radical, Hollywood-financed film Shaft (both released in 1971) with the invention of the blaxploitation genre. Blaxploitation films were also the first to feature soundtracks of funk and soul music. (Wikipedia)

  2. A good collection, anyway. Love this stuff! Really my first love of music. I got to see Gil Scot-Heron a few times live. Once was amazing and once was a little underwhelming as he was nodding off at this late show (but probably not the lateness, but the things he was ingesting. Still good, just not as brilliant when he was more in control of himself. And Isaac Hayes could (should) have his own blaxploitation compilation!

  3. Do you have the Global Television label Blaxploitation series? Four volumes of two cd's each. Some overlap obviously, but a good series

    1. Hi Pol.

      Cheers.

  4. I realize I miss such a compilation, I have a lot of complete albums, but rare are the albums 100% good enough. One compilation so rich is a very good alternative instead to build a personal one. Just for the pleasure of discussion; I can't see among my preferred: "Don Julian - Savage". Thanks a lot
