[nastynas373]

@OrangeSaint420 lol what song did Sean Price sample this in? I'll check it out. i haven't heard it. game isnt that great imo but he didnt make angel, Kanye produced it

[OrangeSaint420]

@nastynas373 its called angel dust. And sean didnt produce it himself i think it was krysis. The beat really isnt that far off the original

[1227cheese]

classic music

[thrilladijaq22]

a man before his time in the music.......RIP

[BreakBeatStop]

you realize its not on this album, right?

[mrmatthew49]

someone compared Gil Scott dying broke to Sly Stone being homeless. come on man! many artists die broke especially those with political messages towards government oppression and neglect. shoot, Tupac only had $10,000 when he died. Death Row owed him 10 million. But Sly was a dope feign of epic proportions. Man I saw his band back stage once and you talk about being high! no comparison....

[differentandalike]

YOU SYMBOLIZE HOPE

[t0m3k14]

sam sneed sounds better than game on that sample

[ksmile3m1]

[MrChucktheBarber]

@MrHardwellc Nice, your good. What song?

[nastynas373]

@MrHardwellc Game didn't sample this, the producer of Angel sampled it: Kanye West

[oengler20]

@MrHardwellc on wat song?

[DLcKxFTR2]

@MrHardwellc it was kanye who sampled it. the game and common just hopped on the track. it was a dope track. I was an LA Dodger but now i'm an Angel.....

[ivekilledchucknorris]

@MrHardwellc kanye sampled it, game and common are rapping

[Stevinkelevra]

Common ft Game -Angel,great rap song from a great soul song

[Hiphopwingsauce]

I always listen to my older siblings albums, and Angel Dust was in there

I listened to this at least 10,000 times. Say No To that Devil. Be strong!

[rievans57]

Back in the late 70's I saw this cat in concert in Los Angles at the Fabulous Forum in Inglewood, Ca. He was the opening act for Stevie Wonder. He jammed. Somebody in his group could play the shit out of a organ.

[VelvetCyberpunk]

This genius died broke, and now I read that Sly Stone is homeless. There is no justice.

[walnuthouse991]

@VelvetCyberpunk are you serious sly stone is homeless omg like gill scott life is like a B- movie. people be going through some stuff

what side of the cassette is this on?

[OldPazuzu]

PCP not the thing any more - its chemical cousins have come out to play, to turn all the heads into K-holes and clay ... ketamine, methoxetamine, etc.. Here we go.

[scottnsanfran]

I wish all the crack and meth heads in San Francisco could hear this, so many who are black and so many who are gay, the through away people. I see them every day.

Please listen.Please help. We are dying here. SOS

[wp8954]

Mr message in the music himself. Never faked the funk!

[motiboost12]

Man, does THIS bring back memories of sitting in the football bleachers at school listening to this song on our "Ghetto Blasters." Boy did those radios had some sound back then!

[bikes2Icanfly]

Can we get back to THIS?! Music that is funky and conscious thinking. It do not have to be about race but how we are abusing each other and this precious planet in the name of GREED. How much do you want before you die?! How much abuse will YOU give before YOU die? How much material BS will you be taking with YOU b4 YOU die...plz drop that on the ONE and make it funky!!

[viciousewp]

race race blah blah blah, lets get past the primal tribal mentality and realize its only one race for us and that's homosapian. lets find better things to get into and leave the simplistic, superficial in the past.

[aishaxoxobela]

[MrGeltabs]

@AndreRedd1Empire whats with the racist against females attitude??? We don't call our women "bitches" where I come from.... just sayin if u (Yourself) wanna help play the race card, well it goes both ways pal!!!!

I HAVE THE ORIGINAL ALBUM WITH THIS PIECE THE NAME OF THE ALBUM IS CALLED "SECRETS" THE ENTIRE ALBUM IS FABULOUS !!!!! I WAS IN THE MIDST OF THE CONTENTS OF THIS SONG"BACK IN THE DAY"....IT MADE U DO SOME CRAZY *%#%

[themrsspates1120]

Damn!! I love this!!

[Useyno]

Artist like Gil Scott Heron,Curtis Mayfield,James Brown,William DeVaughn and Aalon have paid the way for social consciousness in music and have kept it real in their music.

[Hierophanti]

Brother Gil Scott was a giant among us with more talent in his right little toe than the inane acts who pass for musicians today. He dared to speak the truth to us and paid the radio censor's price for it. He used the term "whitey"& I totally get it. I am white; I have privileges because of that fact. I also know that white privilege is invisible to most whites as they have never experienced minority status. Whitey On The Moon is a protest against misallocation of money amidst mass poverty.

[TheBSideDJ]

[lancastermerrin]

Anyone who calls a racist is GUILTY of telling the truth. I stand GUILTY of the charge, dickbrain.

[sexsavannah43]

He reminds me of common

[KHABIR72]

THIS BROTHER HAS ALLWAYS BEEN BAD FROM ONE POET TO HIS BROTHER

HE WILL BE MISSED HE HAS INSPIRED THROUGH THE YEARS.

ANGEL DUST WAS MY SIBLINGS ON COCAINE

[lancastermerrin]

"Grow up, stop being so predictably literal in both your comprehension and your translation and show the intelligence you were born with."

College professor or chick?

[KINGDAVID230]

KANYE USED THIS FOR THE GAME'S SONG FEATURING COMMON CALLED "ANGEL". R.I.P. G.S. HERON

[ahmadoosucks]

5 people are high on angel dust

[lancastermerrin]

"to call him a racist is ridiculous. Listen to any of his albums and you will see that you're wrong. He promoted peace and equality. He even criticises the black power movement in his song 'brother' so move off nigga"

I see. So he criticized the black power movement while calling white folks whitey and that means he can't possibly be a racist. Except for the part where he was.

Again, perhaps Brother Heroine had an epiphany before his liver fell out of his ass, but I doubt it.

[jwattie]

@lancastermerrin Disrespectful. Grow up, stop being so predictably literal in both your comprehension and your translation and show the intelligence you were born with.

[Sagiquarium]

@lancastermerrin Amen. Anyone who says he is a racist is GUILTY!

[dimpsey3]

@TheMarkbenno why do it sucks? when GOD said every soul shall taste Death..meaning> that all of mankind will soon one day die,,and it dont matter about a person age...everyone will die rather u like it r not.rather u believe it r not..just thank GOD for the life he gave u..and pray before you are prayed over

[D45TR1K3]

Dope

[jdpatterson100]

Thank you Brother Gil for opening our eyes to the life "in the bottle", while also blazing our life away on "That dust"!!! Never another to replace you with your warnings about the"Revolution",and other pertainate situations concerning yo' folk...Rest In Paradise..,.,StonieDogStl.

[amnesia529]

I can not describe this man! With all due respect genius is too small to describe this wonderful man! I think the word is yet to be invented to describe something of this nature! just discovered the man, and he blows me off my socks! Fills the empty holes in my soul, thank you for that rip!

[KICKKROCKKS]

i fucken love that bass line!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dirtpopbots]

@BeatBeatyourmeat he had a tribute in rolling stone recently



[791mikey]

When did he die????

[MrDavemac99]

Some comented here that He was dispised by the establishment back in the day,maybe that's why I no nothing about this great talent.People should ask about who decides who we see and hear,his message still has relavence and maybe never will be heard over the crap they pushon us.

[dianaaaa99]

Reminds me of the days when all i could think of was smack. But i have been clean for 5 months now and im hoping that i can continue this trend. From the bottom of my heart, Thank you Gil!!!!

[lionscourt]

Gil Scott's dad was from Jamaica and they seem to have a history of Conscious Struggle through music and Action....

[sirhondraw]

DETROIT HAS THE BEST ARTIST

[DonSudia]

He was a genius. He was much more than just another "crazy hippie" as he was thought of by the establishment back in the late 60s and early 70's. I was a little boy when he was such a controversial figure. I'm a white man who loves Gil Scott. He pissed off all the white politicians of that era, and his message remains valid even in todays world. I love "whitey on the moon". Such truth and insight. We can't handle our problems on earth, but we're still spending billions on space exploration.



[fop221]

reminds me of the two months i spent in guatemala

[quartoGBbrooklyn]

didn't even realize the game sampled this and rapped over this.

[CAallday209]

@quartoGBbrooklyn the game didnt do anything. he doesnt make beats.

[peepingjesus]

@CAallday209 The Game does make beats, wether or not he's ever released a track using his own productions is yet to be seen, most hip hop artists definitely experiment and produce their own music. If you don't, you're not an artist, You're just fucking around.

[mazaratialbum]

rest in peace my brother...it's messed up, the man i produce, the tom joyner morning show in houston just did a b-day tribute to ya and now this : (

[logtype47]

Fare ye well my dear brother. Peace be with you.

[pujolsnumber1]

Is it just me or does he sound so much like Bill Withers on this song? Either way, them two were arguably the best soul/funk singers of the seventies (and definitely the most underappreciated).

[lionscourt]

@pujolsnumber1 Bill Withers actually met his wife @ at Gil Scott-Heron concert....

They must have had the funky souljazz in common....

[poignant4insights]

@lionscourt Just watched the "Still Bill" documentary today, (On Demand cable t.v.) today and they played "Living In A Bottle" another great song from Gil Scott-Heron by the way. But I never realized Bill had so many great hits, til' now, I sure hope he comes back with some new songs soon. He's a cool real dude. :)

[FastT02]

@lionscourt Love the old school.

[FastT02]

@lionscourt Love the old school.Nothing like it bro.

[daddeallen]

my main man back in the seventylov you GIL. RIP BIG LOU

[lanigirod]

damn this song, poem is FIRE...!!!

[watcheem]

Just heard this song on the radio! so good! :D

[Antoshik81]

You will be remembered long after you are gone! RIP Gil!

[Socomnick]

uggghh this music sucks.

Makes my head hurt, its like hobo music.

[roburo2002]

@Socomnick

You know what you need your face knocked in you ignorant bastard shut the fuck up your an annoyance

[blister1324]

I think that everybody is racist to some degree or another. Anyway, fuck the petty differences and labels. Just love music.

[lancastermerrin]

I see. It hadn't occurred to me that racists would love this guy but in your case, you've cleared that up for me. And just for the record, David Duke is your like and kind too, sister.

[owendubmc]

@lancastermerrin to call him a racist is ridiculous. Listen to any of his albums and you will see that you're wrong. He promoted peace and equality. He even criticises the black power movement in his song 'brother' so move off nigga

[Sistarful]

Avatar Griot Ancestor Gil Scott Heron~ U R As Bright As THE STAR U R! 

[wordsforchrist]

R.I.P Gil Scott Heron! Shame more people didn't catch onto your music.

[lancastermerrin]

"What a shame someone allegedly shot you a side-eye glance and you remember that crap from the 1970's"

Not exactly a "side-eye glance", more of a lock-down stare which I was obligated to return. Of course, the two dudes with him joined in on the fun. Perhaps if it wasn't GSH and someone else I wouldn't have remembered it.

And just for the record, his dopey, racist rap at the end is a perfect example of why he was eventually unemployable by any record company for a couple of decades.

[Sistarful]

@lancastermerrin ~ go to your like and kind..... WE LOVE/LUV BROTHAMAN GIL SCOTT HERON ... Take your negatives ... and go to your like and kind! As we HONOR OUR LIKE AND KIND!

[janesaddiction1]

Interesting....REALITY HUH?.....LOL, What a shame someone allegedly shot you a side-eye glance and you remember that crap from the 1970's. Poor thing!!

Anyway, I love this song! Its funny how the rap at the end is something that can be recited today. Ppl are starving to death, homeless & helpless yet the nation spends BILLIONS on senseless WARS & the "STAR WARS" program!!

[lancastermerrin]

Yes, I know what the definition of a racist is. GSH has no shortage of examples in his lyrics. I'm not disrespecting GSH, I'm just pointing out an individual experience. It's reality whether his fans accept it or not.

[janesaddiction1]

Wow idiots will hate you even in death...LOL!

Gil Scott-Heron R.I.P.! Generations have and will be enjoying your music for yrs to come!

[tftka]

eternally funky.....

[Triton88keys]

Another Great man Bites the Dust....REST IN PEACE....

[Fumacaize]

Bump all the rhetoric, this song help free me, he conveyed a message through his art that no one else could or would!!! That's all you should expect from a musician anything else shows a kink in your armor!!! 

Rest in Peace big brother and thank you

[lancastermerrin]

I suppose it's possible that GSH changed later on. But in the late 70's he proved to me all I needed to know about him.  GSH could've turned into Gandhi 5 minutes after he passed me but it was too late. It's a big world, forgiving rednecks is the obligation of pacifists. I don't quite fit into that mold, but I tip my hat to anyone who can forgive so easily.

[lancastermerrin]

A junkie like GSH couldn't beatdown on me if his life depended on it. There's simply no mistaking the fact he was hating because that's what haters do. He had his bodyguards, I had my gun. If he would've been dumb enough to say something to me after he decided to lock stares with me because he's a redneck, he'd have never gotten around to being dropped by every record company because he sucked.

Spike Lee is another punk who plays tough when he's got his bodyguards with him.

[lancastermerrin]

And imbecile according to who?  GSH exposed himself as a low level racist. Anyone who wants to dance around his dead racist ass is welcome to do so. I prefer to point out he was an overrated dickbrain.

[TheSonsOfLight]

@lancastermerrin shoot your self ..lol

[janesaddiction1]

@lancastermerrin I'm not really sure what you are trying to prove by disrespecting Gil Scott- Heron but you need to STFU! As for him being a "racist" ...LOL....how exactly was the possible? Do you know the definition of a "racist"?

[djolskool1968]

RIP BROTHER!



[rahkytopia]

RIP

[lancastermerrin]

I didn't need to ask GSH why he was looking at us with umbrage. He didn't know either one of from Adam or Eve. I'm simply saying he was an overrated redneck junkie. His own lyrics pretty much exposed that.

I would like to nail his daughter though.

[uselesspieceofsheet]

@lancastermerrin you pretty much exposed yourself as an absolute imbecile.

[ardenesa]

how many peoples we don´t know...

i wish i cut tell i´ll miss you but i can´t, because of that...i diden´t know, but i feel strange and loneliest... why...
