Kuti managed to eat the joint which prompted the police to bring him into custody and try to wait for him to produce the excrement. According to legend he managed to use another inmate's feces and was eventually released.

I was very lucky to have lived in the same neighborhood as this legend. when I was a little boy, I visited his house "Kalakuta Republic" at roundabout Surulere, Lagos and his African shrine around the corner going to Yaba. I never really understood his popularity and why he was always getting arrested by the army. Now as an adult, I see why and I have been hooked on his music. Anikulapo, I love you forever.

Try to write something. Everything is so stupid. So. I love you Tony. I've been with you more than i've been with my love. Try to bless me, if you can.

I have and love all of his records, so many masterpieces. Yet there is something very very special about this album. The whole sound came to me just like a deja vu. The first time I heared it, I already knew it. It's flow is so unique, even compared to his other great works, this has to be the one. Best record ever made.
