Why is Kanye's name on here? Is that the first person's name you could think of to compare this man to? His name is irrelevant, and if there was a point to be made, it failed.
@xwaystranger Very well said. You should pick up a copy of GIl's book of poetry "Then and Now". You will love it. The majority of his songs are poems he set to music. Thanks again for your comment.
@XxzirgrizxX anybody else think its sad that i dont even have to check the profile to know that this person is likely barely a high school student? smh
@outnightbig its was completely produced by Richard Russell. kanye was clearly influenced by gil scott-heron. therefore some percussion of kanyes productions sound a like.
walking sleep drags. Never can run from oneself only run 2 keep out of site and out of mind from oneself. Till running becomes one and running is of no use. The common becomes mundane and so in turn will running and never the lonliness, never bored of my lonliness. Always my comfort my soul, my indescri babble joy where I twist my views in words hidden amongst meaning. My crutch.
His book of poetry "Now And Then" is amazing. "Message to the Messengers" and "No Knock"... total class.
