4 letter words or 4 syllable words wont make you a poet it will only magnify how shallow you are to let everybody know it.~ RIP Gil Scott-Heron
Gil Scott-Heron was often referred to as the "Godfather of rap" and the "Black Bob Dylan" and although he rejected those grandiose epithets he understood his influence on the world. This may be the reason he returned to the music scene after a long period of musical exile.
The notable poet/musician dies yesterday at the age of 62 in a New York Hospital after fallen ill from a recent trip Europe. Gil, most memorable spoken-word performance was "The Revolution Will Not Be Televise" where he discussed the brain-washing of the television medium. Today's social message is carried over an internet portal fueling the social media frenzy.
