RIP Gil Scott Heron

[Lord of The Curry]

Gil Scott Heron "Home Is Where The Hatred Is" (1971)

This fucking sucks.

 

[Byron The Bulb]

Be honest: Would you know who he was if not for Kanye West?

 

[Sesquipedaliantique]

H8'd I'm New Here , but he was a very important person and we must respect that. R.P.I

 

[Kinetic]

Whitey On the Moon v1
Man, didn't he realize that space travel justifies all atrocities and inequality? At least that's what the guy at Wal-Mart told me.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Be honest: Would you know who he was if not for Kanye West?

Well, I first heard of GSH in the mid-90s, because The Revolution Will Not Be Televised was sampled on an episode of New York Undercover, so, yeah.

RIP

Be honest: Would you know who he was if not for Kanye West?

For myself, yes due to a skateboarding video back in 2001.

 

[The Coat Is My Father]

His last album got BNM'd by Pitchfork before that Kanye song even came out! Sheesh, Byron.

Kanye West and Common - My Way Home

This came out five years before I'm New Here.... ...

 

[The Coat Is My Father]

:-\ oh yeah

 

[The Coat Is My Father]

I hate Common so much. As far as I know it's the only thing I have in common(lol) with Sarah Palin.

 

[Byron The Bulb]

You both seem to be about equally mean-spirited, imo

This thread is not a very good testament to the life and work of Gil Scott Heron
