Gil Scott-Heron - On Coming From A Broken Home (Part 2)

[SMITH389]

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.

[raveralldayer]

'Lost their lives, but not what their lives stood for'. Wise words from Mr Scott-Heron. Thank you for everything you have gifted to us. RIP.

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.

[TheRealeconomics]

@jayo2010able that sample is from Curtis Mayfield Lil child runnin wild

[UltraKid808]

@TheRealeconomics,

Yeah but he sampled Kanye's version of the song...

[Andrelecount1]

@UltraKid808 Kanye used his song.

[UltraKid808]

@Andrelecount1,

Gil-Scott Heron sampled Kanye's Flashing Lights on this track....Kanye sampled Curtis Mayfield's Lil Runnin Child to make Flashing Lights

[RustySacks]

@Andrelecount1 a couple times

[g0ldb3rg3r]

to DavidBensonxyz (?) you have no idea as to what GSH stands for so please go and listen to Babarah Streinsend or Barry Manilow: more up your street.

[Davidbensonxyz]

@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.

[yararu]

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!

[AbattoirDream]

kanye west is a gayfish.

[g0ldb3rg3r]

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.

We know you Hate Racists.

[Davidbensonxyz]

@g0ldb3rg3r He was never fucking going to play there anyway, and dumb cunts like you fucked up the London show with your bullshit. Fucking idiots.

[gasgas270]

Gil's voice is like drowning in gravel and syrup........just amazing.

[326Ka]

[Davidbensonxyz]

[MaSeoLeBron]
