I can't listen to this song anymore. Because I got hit by a car riding my bike in the middle of it, and had the most heady adrenaline rush I've had in my life. I went blind for two minutes and couldn't hear, because of the shock. If only I'd be listening to 'My Cloud' or something instead...
I love the contrast in this track between the ultra-modern production and Gil's dark, weathered voice. It inspired me to create my own dubstep/trip-hop track featuring Gil Scott-Heron. If you like this then check it out. Thanks!
Whiskey fifth, fire lite, brain is wax and pencil drips. On this paper I ain't tapered, serrated across your neck. Run and hide while i am Hyde, Jeckyll is the other side, fuck around and see the nine the heat meets brain makes pumpkin pie.
Fucking Whitey writin' grimey rhymes call them the kill tunes. Drivin' ladies crazy baby, call them bitches looney toons.
Haters wanna see me slow, want my doe and keep me low. Smokey call me big worm the lights go off I'm still gon' glow.
Great record. I though Hot sauce committee was going to top all records for 2011. This is definitely a solid release. Thanks for putting out good music despite all the garbage that's out there.
@joshfromoz Indeed it is dude. I like some of the other tracks very much. This one doesn't do it for me but I'm thankful for people trying something different like this all the same. Will try it with the drugs. If you like tripped-out tunes check Gang Gang Dance's Glass Jar. Great track. Peace.
@phoenus11 I suppose it's a mood thing man, got to be in that space to feel it... I'm feeling it... then again I think years of an in-quenchable drug habit deeply set my mind to appreciate tripped-out tunes forever!!!!
@mikhailstewart i think i know what you mean, he's actually not mainstream if you compare him to any other mainstream artists. commercially, if u can say it that way he wasnt big at all. i mean he's a brilliant musican who was first with the real rap.. but ALOT of people doesnt even know who he is, which is a shame. now days you get ear raped by REAL mainstream shit. like lady gaga, justin bieber etc. anyways, he's great and made music which didnt even exist at that time. Rest in peace.
@Busigbulle .. finally someone understands what i mean... i would have never found this song if it was not for Thom.. so i doh know why everyone is trolling around "i knew this song before Thom posted it.."... YOUTUBE IS ABOUT SHARING EXPERIENCES TRHOUGH VIDEO.. sighz... then again some people probably think, that the culture is becoming very groupie like "TEAM THOM" lol.. but who cares.. i like this song and its not something i would usually listen to..
Rest in peace, Gil Scott Heron. You were an icon who paved the way for many poets, and modern rap(not the shit on the radio). If a poet, soul/jazz artist or anyone who belongs to part of the movement which is hip hop doesn't know of your legacy then they need to learn to be able to truly continue in their craft.
