Yes indeed, PhrAntione. Spittin the rellalties of one our many struggles of comin up in the ghetto, but without glorifying the drugs and other destructive factors which work against our people. This is the true results of it. And as far as hip- hop goes, Dolemite was rappin. Hip-hop was born out of funk. That is why early hip-hop always sampled funk to make their beats. Funk is hip-hop. Rap is just funk speeded up. I used tell these youngstas, Superfly was gangsta rap!!!
@morbidlyboreddr.strangelov34203 жыл бұрын
@Ryan Harren No not white, you must be stupid. Gil Scott was both a lyricist and a musician. Where modern rap and hip hop are strictly lyricist, the beats are not made by them, it's their sound engineers. Gil Scott WAS his own engineer, He was a musician with lots of understanding of jazz, funk, blues and soul. Played guitar, piano and flute (and God knows what else). I like rap as much as the next guy, but calling this "rap before rap" is like calling an orchestra, a hoe-down because they both use violin/fiddle.

Smoked half of a half of a pin joint of lovely in 1986. If I described the experience no one would believe it. Never tried that again.

I'm in love with his voice and lyrics-so happy to have discovered him a couple of years back!

Some are asking the question "how did he get caught up in the very thing he warned us about"? Perhaps he was referring to the struggle he was already in. (Me and the Devil by Gil Scott Heron) We all deal with something. I hope that he found peace in God. RIP GREAT ONE

he had to know about it to sing about it, but he was victimized, apparently by a lesser drug.

Anger Dust is animal tranquilizer. Gil didn't do it....he was warning folks. Sizzle lean mean...Sherm....one cigar dipped in it gets a bunch of people lit.

Absolutely ahead of his time, but then the greatest ones are always so. Our world is so messed up right now his music can still calm the soul to listen to these messages.
