Saw Gil Scott-Heron at Summerstage last Sunday. He was cool. I could just listen to him talk all day. He sang two of my favorite songs. Then common came on and did a couple songs. Common was just medicore, kept repeating the title of the song...we get it dude. Still cool that he did a song that sampled Gil.
We Almost Lost Detroit - check out from 1:58-2:10 for the sample.
Gil's first song was pieces of a man. Better song than We Almost Lost Detroit. Better use sample by KMD too.
Check out 2:16 - 2:30
God Doom, sorry Zev Love X, kills it. So good.
As is the Non-Remix
Gil's also got a killer cut off his new release with Nas. Called "New York is Killing Me"
