people forget that poets like Gil and Amiri Baraka invented hip hop. it is very sad to see how far hip hop is fallen. Nas was right hip hop is dead. long live real poetry, long live Gil Scott-Heron, long live Amiri Baraka

@Gerttervill1 deff. Rap CAME from poetry..people dont understand

@rahmanashah Those bits would be pretty much out of date in the 2010s, being about the civil rights movement, the hippy movement and Students for a Democratic Society. I'm sure Kanye wanted to make an album about the 2010s instead of the 1960s.

Damn. R.I.P.

@loppydop71 rap and poetry, is practically the same thing....
-
Ahhh.... Do you feel better after that...it was a question bro

I'm not going to be one of those people that acted like I loved off Gil Scott-Heron when he was alive, because I didn't. To be honest, I've only heard of him from being featured in hip hop songs. I'm not big into poetry and spoken word, but I love this performance, so am paying my respects. RIP.
