I don't think any of my family or friends realize how deep this man's music affected me growing up. He was a soul general, whose music influenced the way I wrote, the way I painted, how I treated others, how I treated myself, and how I saw the world around me. And though I grew and formed my own identity, his voice continues to echo clear to me in times of struggle and confusion, AND joy and blessings. He was a teacher, a king, a poet, a father, a man, a hypocrite, a spirit, a junkie......and a human being.

May God bath you in his tears and hold you his golden arms. A toast to the people, and a toast to the master Gil Scott Heron...

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

Damn. It seemed like he was getting new audience and doing big things recently. Damn, I couldn't believe it when I read the post. R.I.P.

Very sad news. Thats a big loss. May he RIP

But I feel physically unable.

So many feelings.

So many memories.

Why is it so hard?

I don't know what to write here, except that this was my favorite song of his. and that we had all better enjoy the sunshine and birds as fully as he did in this song. what a great fucking track.

to a Artist who truly had his own lane. he might not have gotten mentioned with other greats, but he always his lane of respect.

''i went from bashful to asshole to international''- CdoubleO

my own personal journey as a music listener. Even if it was unintentional, I think he bridged a gap for fans of funk and jazz to get into hip hop, I know he had that effect on me.

He even forged a couple really solid friendships for me with a couple of cats who opened me up to, among other groups, the Roots as a real young cat.

It's so sad to me not only that he had so many personal problems and health issues later in his life, but that he died now when he was reconnecting with old fans and creating a whole new generation of admirers.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

He was truly one of the shining black prince's of his day. He was the first conscious, gangsta, political, back packing rapper! He will be sorely missed man.

of his work is The Very Best of Gil Scott-Heron Evolution (And Flashback) but I got more from those 15 tracks than damn near all my rap albums combined, and finally found out where that old "the revolution wont be televised" saying came from. That was way back in high school, and I still havent heard or seen a young artist whether it be poetry, rap, or singing, represent our times the way he did his. RIP/

who are you









really

I stumbled across Scott-Heron's music about five, six years ago and I am grateful I did. He's one of those artists that you'll have on at the house or in the car and people would be like, "Who is this? This is NICE."

Just real soulful ish you FEEL. One of my favorite tracks is "Offering". He just lays it out: "We have something to offer you. We have music to offer you."

And he was funny as shit, too. (See: "A Talk")

Anyhow, this is terribly sad news. I haven't ever popped into one of these RIP posts, so me being here is a testament to how I felt about Scott-Heron and his music.

GOAT of his era......long live Prince.....God is alive....

one of the greatest

One of my favourites. BTW, I got to see him live sometime in the 90's but it was unfortunately not very good-he was in VERY bad shape. Anyway, this is sad. The "It's your world"-album in particular has never left my rotation...

seriously bummed. I just started getting into his back catalog last year.

He will forever be one of my favorite artists. I really feel blessed that I had the chance to see him perform multiple times over the past few years.

Here's a video of a (great) show he did in Paris last year :

greg tate on GSH (who unless he changed his tune in recent years, wasnt too much into rap)

theres a lot of really great, moving lines in that whole article (eg - We all kept saying "Why don't he just 'kick it quit it/ kick it quit it,'" but Gil, more cunning, wounded and defensive than any junkie born, kept pushing back harder, daring any of us to try and rationally answer his challenge to the collective's impotencies and inadequacies: "You keep saying kick it, quit it/ God, but did you ever try?/ To turn your sick soul inside out/ So that the world, so that the the world /can watch you die?") - i wont cut and paste them all but full article is here:

http://blogs.villagevoice.com/music/2011/05/gil_scott_heron_obituary_greg_tate.php

this is a really excellent piece on his life towards the end of his years.

i wouldnt call im new here a hip hop album or richard russell a hip hop producer though.

>richard russell a hip hop producer though.

perhaps then rave?

its too broad to be a hip hop album to my ears

@ Taye DiggumSmacks

Can you imagine no one in your immediate circle knowing who your ultimate hero is? Same situation over here, i can't even begin tellin my lil cousins about him without them getting bored. And no one else in my fam, and few within my circle of friends, can understand it or agree with it. The passing of this dear Elder of mines just got me thinking how many other situation are like mines....massive amounts of concentrated love amongst myriads of mediocrity. That's why i said on the RIP GSH title page, i'm hella sad about this, but i'm happy that it unites musically and poetically like-minded people together, as i see here. Today has probably been the only day i hadn't been commenting everywhere about Gil (i mean EVERYWHERE; hell i JUST joined twitter yesterday just so i can say RIP to him), updating my facebook to try to share with everyone his poems, lyrics, speeches. and i'm gonna ask if an Elder i know can talk about him on his weekly radio show. Because to me, Gil embodied a type of peace and righteousness many were trying to achieve, as well as outspokenness.

i would give anything to go back in time to when he first started messing with drugs and ask him why *without holdin on to rosary beads and just tryna stand off* but with loving support. Not that he died because of drugs, but hell i know the drugs, the time he served in jail (and the other time he served for again, his righteous outspokenness, for being denied HIV medication) and maybe not having a loving dedicated woman MUST have taken a toll on him. i'm already seeing some of these internet warrior dummies on youtube calling him cokehead, racist, glad he's dead, etc. i just want to shout out to the sky GIL YOU WERE SO GODDAMN SPECIAL! You brought us messages and told the stories or people whether they were from Detroit, Johannesburg, New York City, D.C., South Carolina, Jackson Tennessee, or 17th Street! You CONSTANTLY sang about brotherhood before brotherhood started fading away in our dreams. You always spoke about how articulately you saw things in our world. You magnified the best in brown and black ppls in the world. You were an educated man who questioned why your people ignored politics. You were an everyday brotha who was down for the Possum Slims, Bobby Smiths, Karen Silkwoods and the Pieces of Men that linger through our current f*cked up world today. i second that toast to this black king. Hetepu and kind blessings to Gil Scott-Heron.







Apologies.
No matter how short i try to keep it, it just cannot be done. Lol.






SIDE NOTE. It's both Gil and Stevie who are my BIGGEST upper-upper echelon of top 10 inspirations, and i was SOOOOO shocked to find out they briefly toured together!!! AND Gil was getting ready to finish his book about Stevie and touring with him in helping create the MLK holiday and it was to be called "The Last Holiday". Gil & Stevie. *head explodes*

------------------
reflect.

Gil Scott was a very unique artist and really communicated a message and perspective about being Black in America at a particular time that was profound and really timeless.... He did that about as well as any other artist ever has.

Rest in Peace Brother...
