- Опубліковано 8 лют 2025
- Gil Scott-Heron (April 1, 1949 -- May 27, 2011) was an American poet, musician, and author known primarily for his work as a spoken word performer in the 1970s and 80s, and for his collaborative soul works with musician Brian Jackson. His collaborative efforts with Jackson featured a musical fusion of jazz, blues and soul music, as well as lyrical content concerning social and political issues of the time, delivered in both rapping and melismatic vocal styles by Scott-Heron. The music of these albums, most notably Pieces of a Man and Winter in America in the early 1970s, influenced and helped engender later African-American music genres such as hip hop and neo soul. Scott-Heron's recording work is often associated with black militant activism and has received much critical acclaim for one of his most well-known compositions "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised". His poetic style has been influential upon every generation of hip hop since his popularity began.[3] In addition to being widely considered an influence in today's music, Scott-Heron remained active until his death, and in 2010 released his first new album in 16 years, entitled I'm New Here.
I met dude back in the day and the things he said then are even more reflective of what we deal with today.
I bought this in 1978. I had no idea I would be living the same senerio in 2018.
Preach
My Mother Brought that album 4 me when i was 13 or 14. He still LIVES ON & HE was on that DOPE but that wasn't who he was that was something he did, as u could HEAR,
I know Im kind of off topic but does anybody know a good website to stream newly released tv shows online ?
@Bobby Emory flixportal =)
@Avery Kabir thank you, signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :) I appreciate it!!
This brother was my hero, many won't understand
He was a Giant to me too, a Genius way before his time!
My friends Dad took us to a Red Hot Chili Peppers concert years ago when we must have been no older than 13-14 years old, on the way back he played this in his car and honestly its stuck with me more than the concert itself
Wow
A prophet. A prognosticator. A poet. Amazing. Gil Scott-Heron. 🔥💯👊🏾❗️
I found this because of KRS-One's Why Is That. He used a sample of this, "The government you have elected in inoperable." This man was brilliant as a poet. I wasn't around during Watergate, born in '85, and of course they didn't teach us about it in school, so I guess the best way to learn is from people who did see it.
There are lots of appropriate comments here, but I wish this video had more views. Gil Scott-Heron's voice is needed right now.
Just change the Names from the 70's to NOW! Was good when it first came out and is ringing true today!
2019 we living it again
@LEWIS JONES there are many shades, come to international fame
2025 speaking
You ain't seen nothing yet
RIP Gil you called it the way you see it We still drowning as a Nation under the cesspool Water Gate
Mr. Gil Scott-Heron a man for all seasons!
I met the great man at Womad 2010 as it was my job to collect him and the band from the airport and drive them to the festival.....he signed my copy of Winter in America that I'd bought specially earlier that day.
One prophet of a kind. From USA to China thru France or Germany, we can understand politics thx to a poet. A black poet.
Was the military when this album came out in 1974,,,
Rap owes its history in the "Spoken Word",,,
Gill Scott Heron is right there with Bob Dylan,,, Subterranean Blues in 1964,,,,
Ain't nothin' changed - Gil could have laid this track down YESTERDAY. How sad is that?
and TODAY!
Political corruption sadly will never go out of style
The heavy burden of speaking the truth as a poet killed Gil. But he's a being of light too, his resonance and illumination remains.
Still relevant TODAY- 6/03/2020!!!🙏🏽✌🏽
Exactly.
In 2024!!!!!
Welcome to 2020, wish you where still here GSH
Genius, genius, genius. RIP.
WATERGATE BLUES ... from the beginning over 500 years ago thru today still.
Still relevant today. We got the "Covid-19 stay in the house blues' and a government that is inoperative.
With all the mess going on in the world brother Gil's outlook is definitely needed
just now finding this... absolutely brilliant.
Bravo , Bravo........
My dad used to play this all the time when I was a young teen over 25 years ago wow
Who in the hell would dislike this...
What a poet!!
Still relevant in 2024!
I remember this growing up in Harlem NYC black people are not blind America is but they don't want to hear the truth when we as black people tell it like it is
The Rap poets can learn a lot from Gil-Scott. This country is looking like Germany in 1938. Where are the poets, musicians and other artists?
Right here. ✊🏾
very relevant !
Unfortunately still relevant.
500 shades of the blues.....? Good lord, Gil....
Fantastic
Powerful and well said Gil!!
Brilliant!! 🤘☠️🤘
The two thumbs down were most likely posted by the grandchildren of Richard Nixon & Spiro Agnew.
trump voters...
OH U KNOW who they R what they most likely look like DONALD CRUMP ,EVEN THOUGH he had alot of them with their ears 2 the SPEAKERS AND ALL OVER THE WORLD THAT LOVED GILL CAUSE HE KEPT IT REAL, 1000%.
This song is about Bobby Seale, co-founder of the Black Panther party. And the treatment Bobby received during the Chicago 7 trial. Bobby Seale is a legend.
Respect
This is so relevant after the 2024 election..
We really do fail to learn from our mistakes. Gil SH was a genius btw.
This that shit buddy, no fakin this kinda funk, god bless Scott-Heron
I agree just change the names and so apropos to today
🔥💯👊🏾❗️2022
If you listen closely to this song, our late brother Gil Scott-Heron is right on the mark with Washington, Donald Trump and Kremlingate.
Still relevant 1,2, 3 or five years later. How blind?
WORD
Still blaming Trump for everything, yet the Biden crime family is doing everything they’ve been Trump for. 😉
Damn. Trump was just sworn in again. What a shame.
Still relevant today (see Mueller investigation of Trump). Great poetry when you read it. Great music when you listen.
let these kids who think they rap the preach hated in the ghetto let them listen to gill scott heron then they will know how to be black
Manifesting Today
Ain't a damn thing changed...
03:22 America the international Jackel and Hyde the Land of.....
Aways Gil
we need that bread
The prophet speaks at 5:00. "Let's do the whole God damned election over again." FDT...
"Just how blind America...?" 2017.
Yeah, but this song would still be sung if Hilary got in. Don't matter who you vote for . . .
PROPHET?? Oh Hell yeah !! that is Exactly who he is/was , and Prophets do not die, they carry on, live on thru those who are woke enough to recognize and receive the message!!!
SOUNDS FAMILIAR
The more things change... The more they stay the fucking same... It is indeed Winter in America.
SOUNS LIKE TODAY!!
HE SHOUTS OUT #AUGUSTA,GA ON 5:15 .... #OLDSCHOOL
I hope you guys understand this is what's happening right now today! Donald Trump took his notes from Nixon and is picking up where he left off. It's a damn shame but it's true.
Mr Smith, here we go again.
I remember when this was fresh... hell, damn near 50 years ago. And then yesterday we had Trump
Ag didn't knew enough to stay outta jail
SOUNDS LIKE TODAY, HUH!!!
Check out I beg your pardon America.
We all can see the plot, but claim that we cannot...
I'm trying to find a house music track that has sampled this. Any ideas?
He kinda sounds like he's rapping
Some have called him the first rapper. I've been listening to him since high school and was glad he recorded more toward the end of life.. Hope you will sample a bit more of his work.
He more like a street poet or a spoken word artist. You can dance to rap. This u just listen and reflect.
He is so much more. He is a musician, singer and poet.
rappin'
No he's not rapping, he's praying.
IT FOLLOWS A PATTERN, IF YOU NO WHAT I MEAN?
Check it out today.
How blind America????
It's 2023. Somehow, it feels worse.
BDP - Why Is That
#PREACH! !!! (-_-)
America is still blind.
Why is that song

we need that bread
