lol your an idiot. Gil Scott-Heron has only been to jail for drug offenses, a lil coke here and there, but nothing ridiculous. He didn't get drunk and kill his wife, or blow up an office building, or go on a shooting spree. But he has said far too many words that scare fools like you.

The Revolution will not be televised... but it will be posted to the net.

So no one needs as explanation as to why time's up for lillkiberals and his ideological ilk. The problem is when supporters of fascists like Ron Paul start making approving noises about the work of people like Gil-Scott Heron.

Gil Scott Heron will break into your house, rape your wife, rake your kids down the face with an afro-comb, rip off your TV set, and steal your car.

The revolution will put him in the driver's seat.

I love the lyrics ... I love the message ...

It reminds me of a Prof I had that would rant about how the rap industry is owned by people that don't want big city and small city poor to get together ... by people who are confounding the languages to divide and conquer.

I love rap lyrics, but I can't understand the music. My Profs point : would we poor be in our current state (no minimum wage increase in 20yrs) if the rap message had been delivered by Lionel Richie or Marvin Gaye ?

GO Gil !!

I was resting for a minute but now that Obama ran for president and won I feel I got to get back on guard. I thought I was running from south central to get to a place where the grass is greener. Your told to go to college, get a job and live around White folks. Which I did, but after the first Rev.Wright sermon I thought I was going to get chased down to the hood. God please let Obama live and do well or thy will have the law lookin to put every negro in interment camps.

Even though I was born in 1984 I still throw up my fist for this brotha. But will it ever be all good for Black folks. Will we ever be able to be drop the revolutionary, political, awareness mindset that we have? Will the mind of the Black collective ever be at ease? Of course I'm paranoid about what the White man plannin but if I got to be watchful of my people how am I supposed to mentally function. Being Black in America is like being between a rock and a hard place.
