Rest In Paradise brother Gil! The ORIGINAL Rapper and the FIRST to ROCK the MIKE! He NEVER Sold out for Fame and Fortune. He kept It Revolutionary. The congas is telling a story all by themself.

[shakuhachi]

poetic genius! i first became aware of his music when i was 16, in 1981 and have been a huge fan ever since! One of the great writers of his generation and a damn fine musician as well. Rest in peace and thank you for sharing your talents and soul with us on this journey.

And the truth lives on 200+ years later from a young man who wasn't suppose to know.

Thank you GSH and the Midnight Band

The first time I heard this song I was about 8 years old. It really moved me in a way that I could not understand at the time. But you know, in my household my parents were playing Gil, Nina Simone, The Last Poets and the Watts Prophets. Also the Tempation's "Puzzle People" album was often spinning on our hi-fi. The song "Message From A Black Man" I still listen to this very day some 40 years later. Great post!!

[nycpreme]

Bad Ass Melanin Meditation Music here!! Nuff Homage to the Great Gil Scott Heron!! My first time hearing this cut was this morning on Brother Hodari's show on 89.3 WPFW out in DC.......Nuff respect to the God bringing this Real Shit out!!

Financial Understander

[326Ka]

this is beautiful black music with a wonderful message unlike the music today thats why i feel like this generation is so sick and pitiful cause no one tells them what they should be doing and what lifes about so they have no direction and they think its all about the rims and chains and bitces and dope

[tenorismo]

You will

[326Ka]

incredible song this s thee essence of black music reminds me of old slave songs

[TheGhettogoats]

[WillieMack14]

does anyone know the name of the lady who is singing with him in this song..ive heard her on many of his great songs but cannot seem to figure out who she is..does anyone know??

[k4wra]

It's obvious it's man no ? and I'd say it's Brian Jackson but I may be wrong

[k4wra]

answer to WillieMack14

[Chisoka]

Brian Jackson, and it's a man..

[deargdoom07]

So obviously Brian Jackson. Christ you must have a shite ear if you can't tell thats a man.

[JDM46546]

I love it!!!

[drew1noble]

wonderful song

[LamontCJ]

It's all about the struggle!! Politics, history, culture, poverty, racism, greed, selfishness, hipocricy, and pride. One Stop shopping for your soul. Great Work!!

[catlady4justice]

LamontCJ

You got it! Its all about this New World Order & a Government who hide behind their Secret Societys. They are calling for the extermination of 80 0/0 of planets population all they want left is Mindless Slaves!

[deargdoom07]

Will we let them take us?

[mrouteboss]

yes sir doubt we ever will,i sampled one of his works angeldust and ran with his theme and talked about drugs in the form of a woman i figured id tell kids the downfall of drugs instead of always tellin the glory of it ive done that enuff.gils music will be here 100 years from now it should be in a museum dude is the truth

[AlexHamburg16]

I can´t find the lyrics anywhere. Can anyone help me`?

I can´t understand the song without the lyrics, because my english is too bad ...

[catlady4justice]

AlexHamburg16

I dont have the lyrics however, I have about 50 of his songs go to my site & listen for a while. You Will get into the GROVE & soon sing his songs!

Peace

[mrouteboss]

i agree its almost like heron seen the future in his music genius in every since of the word.i got into his music when i was like 19 or 20 been hooked ever since.i agree the hell with his personal problems we all have em

[ezekielthemack]

Gil Scott-Heron is indeed a musical Prophet.

[n2cora]

i recently met him in a private poetry club in new york city--wonderful and outstanding human being. he keeps it real!

[LamontCJ]

That's pretty hip. I always loved Gil and appreciated his insight. I don't care about his demons because for but the grace of God go I. The man is a lyrical genius and a true griot. I hope your experience was memorable.

[n2cora]

yeah, he's been through it--and the miracle of it all is that he lived to talk about it.

[LamontCJ]

Sho' Nuff. Many of us have lived to tell a story and for those who are willing to listen get to benefit of what not to do.

[n2cora]

amen--amen!
