Gil Scott-Heron - I'll Take Care Of You

[sportsfan89z]

but really though, drake and rihanna killed this shit

[1stjazz]

your right it was Bobby Bland! good shout

[1stjazz]

Thank god for Jamie xx and Drake using this record for a sample, it's made me discover a great artist. I'm not a music snob like most of the people that are hating on drake, drakes version has resurrected the great words of the late Gil Scott-Heron.

[thindjinn]

@1stjazz I thought it was Bobby Bland first.

[OENS]

@1stjazz Drake has assraped a fine piece of music. The Jamie XX remix of this is fine, but the Drake version is an almost exact copy of the remix Jamie did of this for Gil Scott - Only with a little more kick and less details. The discovery of music shouldn't necessarily come easy, sometimes you have to work for it and educate yourself instead of wading through the usual mainstream mess.

[ojw215]

Boul really can't sing tho .......

[tinygiggla]

woops wrote pleasant so wrong human malfunction don't crucify me for it

[tinygiggla]

the best version :) but the jamie one is also pleaseant but drakes is shit

[TheGizzard96]

Rihanna who are you? Jamie xx!

[JoshxCF]

Fck rihanna & drake that's 100 better than there faked lyrics ..

[Dtadamoney562]

How About You Shut The Fuck Up.

[kerafrommalta]

@Dtadamoney562 Why The Fuck Do You Write Like This?

[illerskiller]

im not hating... but to say its just a sample is BS its actually almost the whole song hes copied

[Dtadamoney562]

Why Can't People Just Agree That Drake Did A Good Job By Sampling This Song, It's Obvious, Millions Of People Liked It So The People That Have A Problem With It Are Simply Just Haters!

[nathanwkpl]

@Dtadamoney562 Millions Of Flyes Like To Eat Shit So Why Don't You

[kerafrommalta]

@nathanwkpl your comment made my day ahahah

[8gatelotus]

@finnladen401.. agreed this version better tho

[Adamfaust85]

i have no idea why ppl are hating when hip hop rap artist have been doing this since day 1, If eminem sampld this ppl wud be WOOOOO cause drake is meh, well yeaaa i agree fuck drake BOOOOOOO

[TheMrclau21]

._. i do prefer Drake's

[thedevo01]

@TheMrclau21 Because you're some underage, tasteless f­aggot. :)

[FinnLaden401]

@TheMelmackie First single? You've been missing for the past 6 months right? I'll leave you to do some research on that first.

Drake didn't ruin this, he was paying homage. Something that real artists have been doing since the beginning, wether its painters, musicians, filmmakers or dancers. Frankly, and sadly, most Drake fans dont know who the fuck GSH is. He made them go back and listen.

I consider that amazing.

[MrBosslol100]

i love this song :) llz thumbs up if u do too...

[nyeeezy]

only reason people are getting mad is because they think their so cool that they knew about this song "first" SMH People nowdays

[BenmaVideos]

I think Jamie Xx is the best version :)

[DoJoStan]

I don't know why everyone's getting mad.

All hiphop/rap songs use samples nowadays.

For example, every Kanye West song is sampled, EVERY.

[KanyeisBest815]

@DoJoStan

not EVERY fucking kanye song has a sample...All of the Lights is a fucking hit and you cant tell? hes been sampling a lot less

[Joeguard1990]

If you like this version, then obviously your not gonna like Drake's as there 2 totally different genres unless you appreciate music. So quit whining!

[0117misstrusty]

I'm not a hter on drake cause i love his version but i just checked wiki about this song and there IS NO CREDIT to gil which i find a bit rude.

[TheJokerBones]

@0117misstrusty Well.....if it's on wiki.

[ArnoldJRoss]

im not going to go around insulting drake as a person and hating on him, but I think his version with rihanna was pretty much a giant steaming pile of shit compared to this.

[iwasblueonce]

To compare this and Drake's version is unneccessary. Both works can exist simultaneously and bring emotional movement within its listeners.

[FinneySP]

relax its not his singing skill that makes this great but the shear emotion of his voice that empowers the song as classic.

[VasquezM2]

Everybody just shut up and enjoy the music, honestly the way i see it is that if it wasnt because of this song their probably wouldnt be a Drake ft Rihanna "Take Care", If U didnt know this song was made early in Gil's music career!, R.I.P Gil Scott Heron, Please show respect

[Marcsince79]

Unfortunate that the revolution happened, and my black people with the current president... reinforces that we are too lazy. Time to start loving eachother and others more.

[TerrahBowlTeen]

Why does there have to be a conversation about which is better...? we all love music, thats why were here. PEACE!!!!!

[jrichjr1]

@TerrahBowlTeen

no doubt...it's because of the sample drake sampling this song I came to find this

[OENS]

@jrichjr1 Drake's version has been produced by Jamie Smith, most of the samples are from Jamie XX's remix, especially the characteristic keys.

[YMMB50]

This version sucks dick anyway. Go drake and new music.

[knightboy1234]

i like this better

[Cheungy237]

@YMMB50 Drake's version is complete shite 

[MacMonnaie]

Damn!Gil Scott-Heron & DMX Got The Same Voice!

Amazing! lol

[cannibal151]

This song is not only stank, it is hoba-stank.

[thisissoicantroll]

ay this shit go but so do that drake sample

[KiloPresents]

This song is amazing. iTunes!!!!!

[TheMelmackie]

Im so sad listening to this song, drake a hall of fame song writer made this the first single of his latest album. And he basically did a cover and his album is platinum already. Sick to my stomach

[Joeguard1990]

@TheMelmackie almost all hip songs use samples/covers it's nothing new... and it's not the first single because he released Headlines first x

[misspuppylovexx]

drake and riri's version is better sorry :( x

[alexnov89]

@misspuppylovexx

are you mentally fucking challenged?

[LayefasWave]

type in Layefa's wave summerjoy

[StefNMusic]

watch?v=N-liMXN8-Ic

I think this is the first recorded version of this song.. 1959.. Written by Brook Benton, sung by Bobby Bland.. I actually quite like all the versions.. It's a good song..

[Unakau]

You know, it's actually not written by Gil Scott-Heron. At all! This is an old song by Brook Benton.

[shypie]

drake !!

[Deepstarr7020]

Wow, I listen to Gil Scott Heron and had no idea that "I'll Take Care of You" was his song. I knew the lyrics were too meaningful and not oversexed to be written by Rihanna or Drake.

[withoutlovechryz]

Why are you hating Drake's version? If it wasn't Drake most of you all wouldn't probably know this song! I respect Drake's version and I love it,but this one is amazing.Drake did his thing and he did not ruin the song - he even made it more popular!

[ShutTheFuckUpDonkey]

@withoutlovechryz Its not drakes song it was produced by Jamie xx

[lilaityounes]

This Guy Might Be The Original But I Still Think Drakes Version Is Better

[Eklectic]

gil was an amazing guy with an amazing voice that told stories beyond his lyrics ...so happy i saw him live before he passed. as for drake? kudos for him bringing house music to the forefront even if he took a sample from a sample from a sample. JDilla sampled like crazy but that didn't negate his skill.

[TheFiratunal]

i loved and i lost

[Kool111Kidz]

I usually like remixes and remakes and covers but Drake didnt even get close to matching the quality of this song sorrry, but I respect that he likes such soulful real music

[ShutTheFuckUpDonkey]

@Kool111Kidz Drake didnt choose this song, its Jamie XX who produced it. Drake just made some lyrics up and talked over the top. Stop giving him credit that he doesnt deserve.

[Kool111Kidz]

@ShutTheFuckUpDonkey haha were you there? is that what happened? nope nope nope, but we can infer that drake heard jamie xx's work and probably heard the remix and then this original and if he didnt like it we wouldnt of wanted to do a remake essentially, so my point still stands... take your own advice and shut the fuck up

[ShutTheFuckUpDonkey]

@Kool111Kidz Lmao are you a fucking idiot. Jamie XX produced the song you fucking idiot. He produced another song on Rihannas new album too. Look it up jackass.

[DynamiteDerickFelix]

What people need to realize is that Drake didn't sample this song. He remade a song from Jamie xx who sampled this song. Which means Drake's album is entitled from a song which is a remake of a sampled song?

It's like musical Inception; a song from a song from a song

[august0304]

@DynamiteDerickFelix That is funny as hell

[DynamiteDerickFelix]

Intrigue of classic music brought me here. Now that I know of Gil Scott-Heron, I'll look into knowing who he is through other songs. Not a big fan of this specific sound but I'm willing to listen to more of his tracks to broaden my horizon

[jfraz1992]

why the fuck is everybody hatin on drake? its just a fuckin sample, and it was obviously cleared so who the fuck cares, it was hot in my opinion

[SamBVideo]

@jfraz1992 It's not sampled, him and Rianna just replace Gil Scott-Heron's lyrics on Jamie xx's remix. It's lazy and completely removes the soul.

[jfraz1992]

@SamBVideo its called a cover and they did it in their own way and the end of the song was sampled too

[SamBVideo]

@jfraz1992 It's not really a cover if you use the original music (Jamie xx's remix). And can you honestly say Drake's version has the same heart as Gil Scott Heron's. I'm not telling you who to like, I'm just pointing out that certain artists need credit for the work that Drake is passing off as his own. A rework of a song is great if it adds something, but if it detracts from the original, disrepects other musicians and is made primarily to make money, you have to question the artist's motive.

[jfraz1992]

@SamBVideo dawg he obviously had to got it cleared and it was obviously in the credits or else we wouldn't be talking about this

[IFataleI]

@SamBVideo Jamie XX produced the song for them o3o

[nemississ]

@jfraz1992 who gave you the right to ask why people hate him? are you his body gaurd

[jfraz1992]

@nemississ that ain't the point yall focusing on one artist instead of just discovering this track

[zegerZEGERzeger]

@jfraz1992 it wasnt a sample they "sung" over jaime xx's version they didnt change it

[jfraz1992]

@zegerZEGERzeger if u listen to the end of the song he also samples his vocals that sped up but like i said on the top comment it doesn't matter since its cleared

[thedevo01]

@jfraz1992 Let me put it this way:

Poster designers don't attempt to get their flyers, posters or stickers into museums, because it is not fine-art. The Mona Lisa is in a Museum because it's a piece of fine-art.

Gil Scott-Heron was an artist. Drake (and the like) on the other hand are not artists. They are performers. Whole different story.

[jfraz1992]

@thedevo01 ur opinion dude and ima leave it at that

[thedevo01]

@jfraz1992 That's not an opinion. Music has been completely industrialized. These are facts.

[illerskiller]

@jfraz1992 what are you talking about its just a sample? hes copied a whole verse?

[jfraz1992]

@illerskiller its still a sample because its his lyrics he didn't redo the whole track he obviously had produced different

[cutekiara4eva]

Where The Part That Say Dont tell me you hurt i dont care 

[rfp415]

This ones more soulful than Drake and Rihanna

[MRCONCEITEDDOTCOM]

@rfp415 its supposed to be more soulful than drakes version...gil makes soul music. drake is a rapper. stop comparing.

[seb94bowcott]

@crussellification you're mistaking boring for a necessity to have familiar voices and names on a track. It's only boring to you because you can't appreciate it. Just listen to his voice! It's incredible, not to mention his song-writing ability

[seb94bowcott]

I'm glad sampling is 'bringing people here'. But its kinda naive...I think we should know who were the forefathers of what we listen to now.



[crussellification]

@seb94bowcott i would agree if this song weren't so boring and the other weren't so good.

[nerdzster]

@crussellification If it wasn't for the "boring" song Drake wouldn't have a hit.

[august0304]

Regardless of what brought you here.....you're here. Learn and appreciate.

[iloton]

Actually, Bobby "blue" Bland brought me here. It's his damn song.

[CaSiNiStAlex]

Brought here by Gil Scott Heron?!

[AwmgProduction]

soullllllllllll bitchsss



[wilksbamf]

I was brought here by a real talent, Mark Lanegan. Not a produced voice like Rihanna and not some wannabe named Drake. People actually listen to that garbage???

[maryam707]

looooooooooooooooooool OMG I'm sorry nobody can lie and say this is better than drakes version

[savethewhales40]

we are all the same.. we try to act different..but we are all..the same. 

[neothemagic]

To the idiots who can't handle singing in a non-pop tone. lady gaga is that way -->

[TheSydLauren]

@neothemagic I hate when people say shit about lady gaga. Yeah she does pop but shes still a good ass talented singer. Listen instead of judging. Everybody has their own taste. Stop with the elitist bullshit you look like an asshole.

[neothemagic]

@TheSydLauren Honestly You're entitled to your opinion but please refrain from calling something bad because you don't get it. Also If i need to stop being elitist then you should stop being XENOPHOBIC

[TheSydLauren]

@neothemagic My boyfriend is an immigrant and my best friend is Mexican. I don't have an unreasonable fear of foreigners OR things that I'm not familiar with. And if you're referring to this song where in my comment did I say it was bad? What are you referring to as bad? What don't I get? Never did I diss Gil Scott Heron. All I said is don't insult other artists & peoples taste because you don't like them. How the hell does that make me xenophobic? You clearly missed my point. Learn to read.

[neothemagic]

@TheSydLauren My neighbor a POC so I'm not racist. It's not even worth it.

[redchinee13]

this is horrible

[PreludeLJS]

I think it's cool that a newer generation of artists is introducing classic artists that younger people would otherwise have not been exposed to.

[CollegeBoyDre9]

His Voice Sounds Awful. Stop Trying to Sound Educated About Music People Be SERIOUS Here. He's a Legend and All That Great Stuff But He Can't Sing At All. Drake and Rihanna Did This Song Justice.

[rosannaellul6]

@CollegeBoyDre9 He can't sing at all? Lol. Fuck off.

[Cheungy237]

@CollegeBoyDre9 please fuck off he quite clearly can sing 

[nicknkub]

@CollegeBoyDre9 You didn't need to be that disrespectful though…

[TheJulian14me]

@CollegeBoyDre9 Don't be ignorant. He can't sing, that's why he was a poet. Poetry sounds good to music, so it was made into a song. This man is responsible for the modern rap music we love.

[Mstamp94]

Allot of people feel that drake stole this song but I disagree first he just uses it for the hook and second the song was bought and if it wasn't for great artists like Gil Scott- heron young artist like drake himself wouldn't be able to make great music it is great to look further into the history of music and if it wasn't for drake kids now wouldn't have ever thought to go research Gil

And this is not the first time this was done no one was complaining when heavy d (another great artist) u

[benzone2006]

Florence brought me here. Her rendition stays true to Gil's raw version. Nuff Said

[thebreaksman]

I spent a month in California this summer, everyone I met I asked if they have heard of Gil Scott. Only one old man on Haight street, SF knew his songs. A bit surprising. Gil Scott, one of the best! Drake or Rihanna brought you here?? Should have been something like Mayfield or Teddy P etc etc

[akki1luv]

3 people disliked Gil Scott-Heron's voice?? you need to get your ears checked :)

[ThatCrazieGrl]

Is it not stealing royalties when people re-do other people's songs? i always thought it was.

[miszalexthediva1]

actually sounds good as well

[cosmeusva]

its not bad but its to slow for me just saying

[MTran0708]

drizzy and ri brought me here ;)

[youngcas13]

Acknowledge the youngsters who heard Jamie XX and Drake's version had enough sense to look for this legendary song instead of knocking them down. RIP Gil Scott-Heron

[6sabelotodo]

i heard Jamie XX, heard Gil's voice, came here and i won't go back to xx simply cause this song is amazing!

[XforkananaX]

Re.You brought me here

I'm realy in love.

[myenmoni]

I like this version much better, you can tell he means every one he's singing!

[4ofusis]

Wow..never heard of this guy..again!! Wow..glad ths song was put to good use.lol..lol..

[8gatelotus]

sound like his throat broken..but i like it

[Bobbypinbrown]

Soul.

[Ulysses1991]

Rip GSH

[techno2039]

Ok Drake is a good artist but Gil Scott Heron is an icon, no matter how hard they work, no modern artist will ever be on this level. It takes more than care to be iconic

[shararaya]

@techno2039 haha, very clever.

[wallyjake]

@nolemetamente brought here.

[gemainchains]

I like Mark Lanegan's cover as well.

[Mikee1da]

This is hands down much better than jamie xx and drakes version cmon now

[7OLGA7]

wow, the original version is not worse than the Jamie XX version! :D

[scottkpaulsen]

heron brought me here. not drake. jamie xx raped this song!

[DjChugalug239]

@scottkpaulsen lol dont get butt hurt cause another artist brought attention back to this song , it doesn't make it anyless less iconic

[MrRJColon]

@scottkpaulsen Agreed that Jamie xx remix was atrocious. That beat was much better suited for the Drake song. This song here though, is on another level of greatness.

[Cheeseisamazing2]

Who the fuck is drake?

[beretboy22]

@Cheeseisamazing2 He's an excellent musician with an awesome taste in music!

[rklllkk]

@Cheeseisamazing2 a canadian rapper/singer. Why are you asking? Because his version of this song charted on number 9 on the charts without even being released as a single? :)

[datmarinechick]

@Cheeseisamazing2 wow your lost.

[juanito2628]

@Cheeseisamazing2 real immature. I would expect better from a fan of Gil-Scott. Why cant you just praise his work and leave Drake alone?

[portugal2797]

@Cheeseisamazing2 either your joking or your just retarded everyone knows Drake

[MRCONCEITEDDOTCOM]

@Cheeseisamazing2 one of the hottest rappers in the game.

[viceone22]

@Cheeseisamazing2 a canadian born rapper who played in degrassi
