Gil Scott-Heron and Jamie xx - 'NY Is Killing Me'

[ibeprofen]

what style of music is thiss?

[munk402]

@ibeprofen Garage/Bass/Dubstep? Difficult to determine what the exact genre, but generally it's Electronic Music :)

[ibeprofen]

@munk402 do you know any music the same style as this?

[WiIIiamSass]

THIS TRACK IS THE SICKNESS!!! And sorry, just had to write that in Caps Lock.

[Dirax04]

where can i get the lyrics?

[misztsz]

Set on "repeat". :)



[MsPictsie]

amazing...can't get this out of my head...

apart from the chords that come in at 4:30ish...just sound out of place...

[henzyholder]

2:55 sounds like somone bouncing on babies...

[PakodeMora]

INCREIBLE



[OliG312]

FUCK ME THE BEAT...

[MrElectroboy84]

127 people need to be put in a gas chamber

[AndraBooBoo]

this is too good 

[robertdxb]

i lov this

[linglingjr]

[metubingwithyou]

ohhh mmmm gggggggg i am loving life right now

[happysaddo007]

Gil should have sung The Wire soundtrack! :(

[retrodude123]

@happysaddo007 I thought the EXACT same thing when I first heard this!

[darragh19871987]

haha just found these now !! 3 savage songs in a row ! if this keeps up iam gona have a eargasm !!

[kyfkyf60]

[karlval]

The 0:36 beat killed 123 new yorkers.

[baboonsquadron]

27 people thought it was the best comment... i think not

[lisaskvisa10]

122 thought that was the download button

[HippieBohemianJazzy]

If you like this, you're definitely gonna like Casino Clams- All i need & Illest Alive

Any other suggestions?

[oOAnducsOo]

Respect ! Listen this stoned .

[dubstepAH1]

what a f*ckinggggg chooooon!! cant stop reloading it!



[therealdermot]

720p is so much crisper than 480p on this track.

[KanyeGuest]

How can people say Gil Scott-Heron has a terrible voice. He was one of the best American soul and jazz musicians!

[kenny964]

EARGASM!

[shavedchimp]

The ratio is all wrong. The superb voice of Gil is down to about 5-10% of the track - why take out the very best thing? What's the point? The original is far far superior.

[pinkeatspeaches]

Dudley O'Shaughnessy!

[DavetheBassGuyMusic]

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!

[AtWarWithShadows]

Amazing song! Damn

[EuphoriaAVEK19]

God I LOVE his voice!

[adikaheavyweight]

I sure hope Heron got paid his worth for this, it's just a decent beat without him, the whole album

[nymlord]

what a fucking ducking amazing track! <3

[yeahwtv]

My God! What an amazing song!

[spaceace0003]

0:36 achoo achoo?

[percales]

Deep as HELL !! I love that ...

[kamerynleigh]

I'm in love with the beat to this . (:

[TheDickdoo]

I just beat off to this song. I dont know where my sniz went either.........

[evanspangles]

@TheDickdoo 117 people didnt' have their sniz available before they got here.

[Ooades]

who ever let drake and rihanna cover this song should be shot in the balls, hang drawn and quartered

[onebigv]

@Ooades They covered a different song

[davidmar43]

So much soul in his voice. Incredible song.

[fertolito]

Masterpiece <3

[reverendlionelblair]

If the hair on the back of your neck stands up for twenty seconds you know its a good track...

[Wesje001]

0:38  My subwoofer is walking !!

[maketo20]

[andresgaron]

Jaimie XX la tiene atada.

[hydemd]

Wow!

The original blows this into the garbage pail of mediocrity

[schizoidchimp]

[Hemojochim]

112 people don't like this song.. them assholes

[quayinlock]

sick xylaphone synth effect at 4:20, makes the track sing

[melangeken]

This is 0_0 the shit I swear to god.

[GordenBrown3D]

People say this guy has a terrible voice, it's actually an amazing voice. So different and so uniue, it's class.

[FObbO7]

@GordenBrown3D true

[iRRichiee]

@GordenBrown3D everyone knows Gil Scot !

[TheLastBaron16]

@GordenBrown3D All time best voices:

Morgan Freeman

David Attenborough

Gil Scott-Heron

[durk47]

@GordenBrown3D whoever said gil scott-heron has a terrible voice went full retard. they obviously don't know much about him! he is a constant inspiration

[onebigv]

@GordenBrown3D The man was a spoken word poet/author at first, but his work has the early elements of hip hop. He was not a vocalist in the traditional sense. Hence the hate.

[jaffabeans]

@GordenBrown3D Probably on of the most distinctive voices ive ever heard along with Mark E smiht of the fall and Bjork.

[McCDub]

@GordenBrown3D some people don't know what their talking about..guy is a legend  R.I.P.

[i4gotmyoldaccountpw]

@GordenBrown3D Do people say that? I just got a 12 gauge for christmas!

[Tzefri84]

@GordenBrown3D people who say this are trolls!

[GordenBrown3D]

@Tzefri84 No, people who say that are cunts :p

[prdaca]

@GordenBrown3D people know nothing

[quayinlock]

this is seriously gangster, i was at another vid and someone suggested this to me. its like Dub/Tech/Ambient/Minimal/Eperi­mental/Downtempo/Dirty all rolled into one. Any big fans of this PLEASE SUGGEST SOMETHING SIMILAR. Cheer!

[culturebully3]

ItWasTyped. com

[ktflo31]

This is so chill

[allstar812]

chilling horror music

[RethinkPopMusic]

Not typically a fan of messing with something that's already perfect... but this is a beautiful interpretation of an incredible song. Somewhat speechless. Great work Jamie XX RIP Gil Scott Heron

[giggas5]

This is my first time listening to this artist and WOW, if you guys could send me links on where to download his music please send me a message TY.

[AxWitness23x]

@giggas5 itunes

[UKPingu]

@giggas5 The actual sound is from Jamie XX - whose part of the band 'The XX' -- check them out ;)

[vamperon]

@giggas5 Try Beatport... Support your indie musicians who give their life to make music that saves you from the mass produced radio drivel, yet make close to jack shit doing it. iTunes, Bleep, Boomkat... there are plenty of places to find it.

[nerro23]

@h1a2n3n4a5h6 Thats not over-analysing, music's meant to do that to people. This tune especially.

[yraguh]

This moves me to almost tears each and every time. So powerful.

[h1a2n3n4a5h6]

Don't you just hate it when people over analyse music... 'it makes me feel nervous' 'it makes me feel alive' shut up and just listen to it god damn it.

[xertaqaadka]

thumbs up whores is killing me. #just saying

[mgarhart1]

Don't care for his Spoken Word stuff but this is trippin'

[BigCityBegz]

I know we are overly obsessed with this but how would you even began to genrify this song? Absolutely epic..... cant believe im onky hearing it now!!!

[molee34]

this shit is like techno dubstep

[HurryC4ne]

@molee34 it's sad you can't hear the beauty in it. it's amazing how he is using the singles elements..can't you hear the sadness and the satisfaction at the same time in it? impressive! ...listen again, without bad thoughts.

[AdoniaTT]

@HurryC4ne well said!

[molee34]

@HurryC4ne How can i not hear the beauty, that was the 1st time i ever heard the song and it blew my mind away, now im in love with this song, so just calm your tits, i have good taste in music too, & im 15, what 15 year old listens to Gil Scott-Heron

[addiebaaddie1]

Just mind bending

[oLiFAR112]

kept getting so confused that the timer on cam 3 was changing, couldn't work it out

[heyitsconnor1]

i recognise this song alot...i think it was from his half an hour mix on radio 1 last year.

[ShaggyBoiiofc]

This is incredible

[Nerdovich]

Just found this artist. This is AWESOME!!

[hellsguardillidan]

@Nerdovich has a lot of good stuff

[SmokeyJoekIng]

ส็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็AMAZING!

[sethstermini]

I wonder where this journey will take me

[AleksHyper]

Cam 3 is trippin' =]

[NullPDS]

dang when I used to bump this there was only a few thousand views, then Gil passed :( Great track nonetheless

[MacAciD]

This song at sub club, oh god its sooooo good.

[equalpartsmusic]

@MacAciD Yasss!

[ratatatist]

When 0.36 came.... so did i.

[kasztkl]

ale kupa gill scot t pewnie nie ciesyz sie y radođci łś  choć może w pewnym stopniu

[gasboy6]

What type of music is this? It's very interesting to say the least haha :]

[SmokeyJoekIng]

@gasboy6 its post-dubstep

[AdoniaTT]

@SmokeyJoekIng ya i'm really like this genre :)



[TheDubility]

@SmokeyJoekIng When have you ever heard anyone refer to a song a 'post-dubstep' what a load of bollocks!

[SmokeyJoekIng]

@TheDubility everywhere at the moment?

[19191oooo19191]

@TheDubility ehm wikipedia and its just a term for something that cant be definded, call it future garage bass music or post dubstep or simply an amazing fucking new genre that is like everything i ever excepted a genre to be, its like fuckig amazing. enjoy it you have the joy of seeing this amazing thing rise!

search for post dubstep;)

[vamperon]

@TheDubility a better name for it is future garage. dubstep evolved out of UK garage so they have common roots, but this is definitely not dubstep

[abaofifsz]

@vamperon

..yes it definitely is dubstep, or another branch of it called post-dubstep. It honestly reminds me of incredibly early dub such as Shackleton or kode9 but with other musical influences.

[retroremo]

@gasboy6 uk bass, edm new movement

[ragmeankill]

Rihanna is killing me

[thetigerroud2]

@ragmeankill I am appalled that Drake would dare take the late Gil and Jamie's song and do THAT to it. Smh. People need to just....stop.

[RajieT]

This is a mad tune! RIP Gil Scott-Heron.

[MrMiguel18]

Take Care

[melonbandit]

best part is 5:15 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SmurfAndBuffalo]

If Jamie XX and Gil Scott-heron can make an amazing album, then Lou Reed and Metallica should have been able to. Anyway, brilliant song.

[kareeji]

@SmurfAndBuffalo i don't get that logic

[moemoe1085]

dont you dont you dont you Know???

[Incyted]

Playin this as my last tune in the club tonight in homage, :) big up jamie xx for a big tune, and RIP Gil scott heron... a true musical legend

[shangrigreige]

Gotta Love

[kittie2730]

drugs are for losers, why not close your eyes and really feel it in your soul. Or in your chest. The dark room, low lights, bass thumping... ooooh yeh, not need for drugs.

[imasticker]

@kittie2730 lol u clearly never tried drugs :p

[kittie2730]

@imasticker actually I use to stick needles in my arms and blow coke for days on end. Just found that kind of thing empty in the end. Nothing like feeling it from the soul.

[imasticker]

@kittie2730 oh shit ... ive done a loot of stuff but i always stayed away from needles :p

and i just meant weed by drugs... most of the others are actually bad mmkay?

mdma (Y)

[kittie2730]

[footube3000]
