    Default R.I.P. Gil Scott Heron

    very sad to hear, a real legend and one of the most influential cats to hip-hop from the "older generation". he passed away yesterday after being sick since returing from a European tour.

    Well his lyrical and artistic focus were so socially conscious that he didn't want to be associated with some of the more hedonistic and chauvinistic artists and songs in the genre or stuff that glorified violence. He actually directly addressed rappers to take more responsibility for the influence they have on people on the opening track of his 1994 album.



    That's not to say that he disliked all hip-hop though. He made it clear in several interviews that he was a fan of a lot of hip hop, and that his kids really liked hip hop to he was pretty immersed in the music for a while (I know he liked Nas, Mos Def, and Talib Kweli in particular and I bet he was a fan of the Native Tongues cats and Public Enemy and KRS-One and stuff).

    Ali Shaheed Muhammad had beat on his 1993 album and i think the album he dropped last year had a gang of Kanye beats.

    No he just used bits of "Flashing Lights" in the intro and outro on the record. Kanye didn't directly participate in the making of the album or contribute any beats.
