  • His book of poetry "Now And Then" is amazing. "Message to the Messengers" and "No Knock"... total class.

  • I will always need this man's music in my life. Love you Gil... RIP.

  • RIP brother

  • NO.SIR.NEARER!

  • Genius...

  • Whoa, just what the doctor ordered for me to hear

  • 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

  • @BbakerDaBmaker

    lol because I guessed 16.

    Most people need a few years under their belt to feel Gil!

  • Listen to the jamie xx edit, pure bliss -3

  • FUCK this is intense. Good stuff.

  • ..this must be deep.

  • always

  • Trent Reznor should have composed music for this album, but this is still sick.

  • @ScarlemD

    YES!

  • @murderbydeath222 'cause that would be wayyyyyyyyyyy better than "The inevitable rise and liberation of Niggy Tardust" with Saul Williams.

  • Now, just running out the clock.

  • sorry mate, but deeper than kanye west!

  • @freddie5030

    hahahahaha gil is the Marianas trench

  • @freddie5030

    Can't someone like Kanye West AND Gil Scott Heron. I would put them neck-and-neck as my favorite artists.

  • @freddie5030 The hell kanye west!!! this guy had the words all over his soul!!!

  • Deep

  • who made that album i mean that music sounds kanye west alike

  • @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.

  • @elcattiv0 :) well... good influance. Cheers.

  • Music is a journey.

  • 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.

  • I'm running as well...
