Expensive Shit is the twelfth full-length album by pioneering Afrobeat artist Fela Kuti and his Africa ’70 band, released in 1975. The title of the album and first track refers to an incident in 1974. The Nigerian police planted a joint on Kuti. Before he was arrested, he ate the joint, but the police brought him into custody and waited for him to produce the (titular) excrement. According to legend, he managed to use another inmate’s feces and was eventually released.
The second track is inspired by a Yoruban proverb about the power of nature and the universe.
