This song sounds way better if you are driving in a car with an old radio and bad.. lets say vintage style radio reception :o) heard it today and it had more groooove in a way

@eltimo556 Cont: I actually find it degrading to the legacy of Gil Scot Heron to even talk about Rappers in the same sentence.Due to the fact that what Gil had to say really,really meant something.

[anotherbluesguy]

@eltimo556 Much like Don,I dont listen to rap either.Soul Train on television was certainly the first regular national exposure to "black" music. Early Radio was regional and blues record albums were catagorised as "race" music and were not released nationally by "record stores". Mr. Heron and rhythmic poetry is not yelling into a "mike" about killing ,bangin bitches,gettin high and how much "bling" you gots.Rap is certainly at fault for the lack of integrity in todays music.

@anotherbluesguy

have you heard of devin the dude? or the roots? or the hundreds of other rappers that play instruments and are very skilled at them? He didn't create the first major outlet for blacks, that was blues 40 years before this. Your going to tell the late Gil Scot Heron that when he created rhythmic american poetry that he was doing something wrong?

@anotherbluesguy

I did not know that about don quitting because of rap. I completely agree with your statement.

[anotherbluesguy]

@jacobleb420 When no less an authority than Don Cornelius stepped away from the music scene because he felt "rap" was not the direction "black" music should be going.

The MAN that created the first major outlet for "black" music was so dissatisfied with the lack of integrity in rap "music" he quit the biz ?

That says it all.

Rap has everything to do with the lack of integrity in music today.

Nobody plays a musical instrument anymore...That would take time and effort !

@anotherbluesguy

Of course I do! Is there any other way?

[fpave]

There is an important message that is missed these days.Vietnam had a major influence on what was being told to us in music during this time.Over 50,000 american lives lost.All music was following common ground to get through to the people.It helped end the conflict in south east asia.For now,there is nothing bringing us together so music has head off into different directions.Things could change at the drop of a hat,you just never know.

[anotherbluesguy]

@jacobleb420 You always call it the way it is ?

@epics7

If rap doesn't have anything to do with it then why are most black musicians rappers then? Why aren't there any black musicians coming out with good music like in the 60's and 70's. Back then their message was positive and the music good, now it's just crappy synthesized music and moronic lyrics about killing rivals and fucking ho's! Oh and let's not forget the all so important bling bling! A very long way from what it used to be! Whites are not immune either, Justin Bieber...

@jacobleb420 Rap has nothing to do with the lack of quality of today's music. There are very good rappers out there as there is very bad music period that's being played today. Black, white etc.
