My pleasure. RIPower indeed. ❤

[@Twobuckets321]

I always saw Gil in Chelsea walking. He was always in the Fulton Houses. Beautiful person.

[@TrayDays113]

14:45 Gil is such a class act. The brotha provided brotha Gil a flyer. The interviewer didn't want to give credit to his work. Gil's response is a beautiful one.

[@TheShabazzProduction]

He was an original artist from the ground up. A pure genius.

[@thefluiddruid]

Nothin to add here. Pure genius!

[@rickybryant1340]

Well said.

[@WitOn4Wheelz]

I'm a white jew, and I have nothing but mad respect for Gil Scott-Heron when I heard waiting on the moon, I was like wow! Talk about putting things in perspective. Mr Heron gets nothing but mad respect for me

[@richiearnessrobinson]

The black poet always will remember his visionary words of the 70’s”The revolution will not be televised “

[@JamesJones-i2v]

Gil Scott Heron is my favorite African American artist and has had an enormous positive impact on my life. Home Is Where The Hatred Is is one of the greatest songs ever if you ask me.

[@jasperAalme]

says the most beautiful thing i've heard in a long while, interviewer: ''you just sold 5 cd's right there''.

[@Newjourney1love]

Rest easy greatest artist of all time. RIPower

[@lindalb9519]

Makes sense - "We will make new albums when you buy the old ones." Thank You for this interview. Truly creative and underappreciated brother. Words of Truth.

[@Sektion9]

Such a cool time capsule.

[@Shayler78]

Great thinker and artist. R.I.P

[@thefluiddruid]

Amen! 🙏🏼

[@pjmoneybags2780]

Miss him. I still always listen regularly to his music. Work for Peace, and so many other songs of his are still on my playlist in recent times. Wish there was some music like this being played on the radio for young people today. Gil put out songs about relevant issues, he took you to school.😊 I definitely think he was one of the best artists. Important mesages, great music and a very nice singing voice & style. I can just imagine what he would be saying today.

[@truthseekingking]

Blessed to be able to witness Brotha Gill Scotts Work. He did a fantastic job, providing uplifting and motivational Art to be observed by the generations to come. Rest in Power our Ancestor King Gill Scott Heron. We love you and The Marathon Continues 🖤

[@damianedwards8827]

Awesome. Imma check this out. Hip poet with a message

[@Sudafedz]

Bro dropped the hardest albums of all time and Spotify is 1984'ing them. RIP the GOAT

[@rtoriq]

I was quite upset to only notice this recently. Because I had all his CDs and imported them into my iPhone, on top of never really streaming until this year, I was mad to find most their albums (him + Brian Jackson I mean) are unavailable on Apple Music. I really think his music is literature, history, blues, jazz, and funk mixed together

[@soothy8279]

Why is his music not available? 🙁

[@michaelB212]

beautiful footage 🙏🏼

[@ElephantBobcat]

The cameraman was working hard at all angles, wonder if it was ever edited to tie it all together fluidly.

[@manformclay]

[@aj7419]

Kinda looks to me like the interviewer is practically beaming with excitement and joy to talk to the guy. Perhaps he was nervous to talk with someone so clearly extremely talented and intelligent. That question about "being out of the industry" at the beginning, the interviewer seemed to know the sort of answer he would receive. As in he knew he wasn't really out of music, just that people en large probably thought he was. I feel like I could go on about it but perhaps it is an issue of perspective and/or projection on the part of the viewer than it is of the interviewer. You are kidding yourself if you think you have a better sense of judgement than Gil.

[@digitizedgoldminds7372]

I want those shoes he has on.

[@maatsankara905]

Gil is literally a bar spitter

[@rjvernesto.]

Legend!

[@nigelthomas6642]

Good man

[@WitOn4Wheelz]

Gil Scott-Heron was woke way before the word woke was even invented! Good for that great soul

[@amandlamedia]

GSH - "get the album go find out what we're saying!"

[@ryancox8703]

That's Becky, he got a job "He might of stole that" brilliant

[@bveracka]

Great content, but can we get another watermark on this video please? I really love when I can't see anything logos.

[@am5790]

should have been interviewed by a cultured person. RIP

@@smiauu you can say "nothing's wrong" with the interviewer. He certainly stayed within the margin. But it's all about vibes... and that's different.

What's the issue, the man's not interrupting Gil, he's letting him talk, how can it be better?

Some dudes need to turn the telescope the other way around.

[@glitche2524]

20:27 that to me is a weird statement he makes

[@BoechaarBiets]

was gil on opioids ? or was he just old at this point?

[@moniquedelatour]

Gil was my man my everything from ‘95-2000 we lived together. I can see he was high in the beginning of this clip. He smoked crack. I tried to get him to stop. During this interview the crack high wore off gradually and he was calmer and more himself. Miss him.

[@BoechaarBiets]

@@moniquedelatour addiction is a B :( thanks for the insight, he is my all time favorite artist and im sure he is to many other people aswell, i hope that can soften the pain somewhat, knowing he will never be forgotten.

[@jefftotheleftt]

how can you tell he's high? what are some signs an amateur viewer like me should be looking for?
