Gil Scott Heron - Message to the Messengers

A powerful message from a powerful voice. Very profound and an excellent point that needed to be made. Surprised it was given such little attention

Why we loose so many great minds 2 dope/

[Stephen Williams]

That is the very mystery of it all and no greater example of it than in this poet/prophet/person who educated us about TRUTH early on. How he ended this way or how Huey and others ended up shows how cynical the masterminds of slavery put their plan so deeply into play. Brings to all eyes wide open a blinding light and sheds new meaning to the prophecy of his biggest commercial hit "The Bottle" "IF YOU SEE SOME BROTHER... LOOKING LIKE A GONER IT'S GONNA BE ME!" Tragic Truth All Too Sad For WORDS

[Stephen Williams]

Of all the conspiracy theories yours is... well... IT IS WHAT IT IS. I am sure anyone will draw their own conclusion. I'm trying to figure out where this right or wrong is relevant. Truth twisting is nothing new. But what really gets me is because Gil was a "revolutionary" Poet/Messenger some people confuse that with being racist and think that makes it OK to brandish their own prejudices. Sorry but you are no where even close to the truth (my opinion). You are welcome to yours.

Gil must have been really ashamed of some of the new songs out there. Gil generalized white man. Gil, was wrong in that. But it was an idea that was common at the time, and I can understand. I try not to generalize, because those pre conceived ideas are old. And they belong to old times. the way i see things.

Love his voice. ;)
