Gone 10 years today. Always remembered! Never forgotten!!!! The Godfather of Rap and the best of all these damn rappers. None could touch him. I wonder what you would say about today.
After listening to and loving a lot of his music and spoken-word work, I have to say that this right here is my favorite Gil Scott-Heron song. Everyone falls back on "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised". And aside from a couple of problematic lines, it's great. But it's dated. This is both much deeper, and timeless.
paulehot It's been a very long Winter in America indeed. But the past several years have given me hope that the ice may be breaking, and Spring may be coming. White Christian Nationalism is becoming more isolated and self-isolating, the "Culture Wars" are being defeated with gay marriage and cannabis legalization at the forefront, and "socialism" isn't the dirty unspeakable word that it's been in the past. Let it be so!
I eventually found out when i got older that there Ain't No Such Thing As Superman.The amazing Gil & his side kick Brian Jackson never put a foot wrong musically, this track features some moody Jazzy back drop with a sweet groove, that really allows Gil to open up as a singer more than ever
man we need him and his music around doing the Bush area and am not just talking about jr time either for daddys time a reagan terms i believe they shut him down because they could not aford to have someone takeing like him around and making people think for themselves
He is one of the original rappers. He spoke about political justice, and what he saw happening in america. We need more poets like Gil Scott today

+dwc1964 I'm right there with ya, this is one of his finest.
+dwc1964 Definitely one of the best. Don't forget "Winter in America" either. If anything, it's even truer today than it was then.

When we realize we part of the human race and practice equality. The world would be better.
1st time hearing this
strong performance by Gil! Eloquent expression of inner city life...
Shout out to Brian Jackson, he really fleshes out the sound that Gil builds and adds so much life to its already blossoming personality

12 people still can't understand that there ain't no such thing as superman.
He is one of the best positive brother to ever be able to get across the minds of people
