the stain Posted 28 May, 2011 Share Posted 28 May, 2011 A very bad scene indeed. RIP http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2011/may/28/gil-scott-heron-dies-rap [video=youtube;_b2F-XX0Ol0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_b2F-XX0Ol0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swannymere Posted 28 May, 2011 Share Posted 28 May, 2011 Sadly underated but highly influential muso, played at the Wedgewood Rooms a few times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince Jazzbo Posted 28 May, 2011 Share Posted 28 May, 2011 Sadly underated but highly influential muso Probably the biggest but most unknown influence on Rap. The Revolution Will Not Be Televised came out in 1970, but it could have been made yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperMikey Posted 28 May, 2011 Share Posted 28 May, 2011 Awful news. The term may be overused, but Gil truly was a pioneer. Even recently his collaboration album with Jamie XX was doing new, interesting things. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Block 5 Posted 28 May, 2011 Share Posted 28 May, 2011 Terrible news. I've been listening to 'It's Your World' lately.....what a great album. I heartily recommend it, in particular for 'Home is Where the Hatred Is'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
