The simpletons of this world never cease to amaze me. The shallow minds go back forth over who sampled who while the more superior thinkers recognize and appreciate the genius of this great work. And IMO Kanye is good but he cannot yet be classified as great. 90% of the time Kanye is rapping about Kanye. Gil speaks of things much deeper; life, love, society, politics, etc.
I like Gil on this Kanye track it shows what is possible and that there still some growth possible in the Hip Hop world and bridging the gap. I bet they will be clamoring to work with Gil or at least explore more of his ideals in their music.
@g0ldb3rg3r You div. I paid to go see him. I know he is a 61yo man who is battling addiction and dying from hepititus. He doesn't need cunts like you fuckinmg up his show and stopping him paying the rent. He's a man. I know what that's about.
This guy is like the fucking music equivalent of Morgan Freeman. Both of them have insanely hypnotic voices and they're both incredibly deep people. Excellent stuff!
Dear Gill for the sake of all Anti Facists and Justice seekers for the Oppressed; DON'T GO TO the APARTHIDE sTATE of iSRAEL. iSRAEL IS TODAY'S NAZI sTATE.
