R.I.P. Gil Scott-Heron, a true hero and such a powerful lyricist. As a 15-year-old it really saddens me that most of my generation don't appreciate geniuses like him and keep listening to these meaningless pop songs with zero content, so I wrote and recorded my own take on the statement "The Revolution will not be televised" and I put it on my channel for anyone who would want to listen. Let's bring back REAL MUSIC, with REAL MEANING. One Love

political rap was born with Gil Scott-Heron and there are so few people carrying his legacy on. Hip hop has become a much stronger opiate for the masses than even Marx thought religion was. The Media is killing our culture, our people our future. People are too dumb to know it watching Fox News and listening to Soulja Boy. We need a revolution and indeed brothers IT WILL NOT BE TELEVISED!!! Solidarity no matter what your race is this is not a question of black and white. We are the 99%

Yeah You'll defentially start a Revolution from a Youtube Comment......

[DragonBlud117]

The Revolution may be televised, but we won't notice because we are to busy arguing amongst eachother to notice. At least, that is what I gather from youtbe comments and political forums.

@KAMEOslaps probably was reference to an old ad, of perhaps some company mascot that appeared in commercials inside a toilet bowl, cleaning it; like the scrubbing bubbles do in commercials today, or how mr. clean appears in a kitchen to fuck some bitch and clean for her.

Spoken word is the key to infinite mental power that the original man used to preserve information and brain power. Today Satan has perverted this tool of mental development by making rap or mental crack, an art for reduced to wasting brain power in repetition of STUPIDITY.... RIP Brother Gil Scott...The revolution is nothing more than the revolution of the mind of the MASSES...Satan will be run off the earth, but if first must happen the mind of human beings, or gods...u choose! READ PEOPLE!

If I remember correctly it was a TV commercial for a cleaning product that had a huge hand coming out of a toilet bowl.

[KAMEOslaps]

would someone explain the "giant in the toilet bowl" part?

Power to the people.

[phillo12]

I am aware of it's origins and I am not confused as to it's original intent but I do know that it's message is still applicable to us today. The revolution will not come out of a screen in your living room.
