#402 Fela Kuti and Africa 70, 'Expensive Shit' (1975)

Arguably the greatest Afrobeat musician of all time, Fela Kuti’s entry is not an album so much as it is a two-sided single. Side A, a 13-minute song, was allegedly inspired by real life. In 1974, cops planted a jointed on Kuti. Before he was arrested, he ate the joint. Police brought him in anyway and waited for the joint to pass, hence ‘Expensive Shit.’
