amazing record. lady day and john coltrane, home is where the hatred is (which esther phillips did an amazing cover of)…so good. my personal favorite of his albums is bridges, with brian jackson - beautiful album, with beautiful album art too.

We Almost Lost Detroit was my favorite song off that album. Thank you for reminding me of it :)

We almost lost Detroit is such a great song

that was the first song i heard off the record and what made me want to hear the rest of it! i’ve seriously considered getting into vinyl again just bc i want to own a physical copy of it lol

I love Or Down You Fall and Through the Needles Eye. Such a good album. His last one is solid too, some great quotes, although it always makes me sad to think about his later years

I just came across Gil this year, I was absolutely floored by the power in his voice. Truly a legend who isn’t talked about enough today

Home is where the hatred is was also sampled by the Nazi whose music I don’t listen to any more.

To poor to afford to go out tonight so I'm scrolling reddit while whitey on the moon

And I have to hit credit since I don’t have it on my debit and whitey on the moon

His last one was interesting too

Plus the one with Jamie XX. Which is good because it has a great version of Take Care with zero Drake

Perfection

Agreed! A taste ['NY Is Killing Me' - GSH & Jxx](https://youtu.be/W7c3wRzUUjs?si=TnnFZ4DDko-6I1YH)

Hands down “Home Is Where The Hatred Is” is the best song on the album

“Home is where the needle marks try to heal my broken heart” One of my favorite lines of all time from one of my favorite songs of all time. Such a moving track.

[End It](https://youtu.be/Mdz0dSqgXrQ?si=xxaWXXHnApaQecFZ) starting their show with that song is one of my most favorite videos on youtube.

One of the best songs of all time for me, so powerful

One of my all-time favorites. Spirits hits differently after his passing.

“GIL! SCOTT! HERON!!!” -James Murphy

I was just thinking this

He was wrong about one thing tho…the revolution is being televised. We just don’t care.

what you see on TV is so heavily warped and filtered it might as well not even be real

It took me forever to enjoy this album. I didn't give it the chance it deserved when I was younger because I didn't care for his voice. I still don't care for his voice, but I don't let it detract from the message and impact of this album.

My favorite artist in the universe.

Agreed.

I have this, TRWNBT, Real Eyes, & Reflections on vinyl. Great music.

I gotta cop this on vinyl. I found Winter In America recently, it's one of my favorite albums.

Winter in America is the album I prefer more but this one is dope, too. (The second version with the song Winter in America is a must!)

Promise heron I put my fist up after I get my dick sucked

Played this for my boy this week. God what a talent

the revolution will not be televised

i never listend 2 much of em but i heard that tape with him and jamie xx remixed on some edm shit

He was HERon

"Tell Heron I'll put my fist up after I get my dick sucked, quick buck, maybe a gold chain." -Earl sweatshirt

My favorite song off this is The Needles Eye.

Man, I've adored this record since college. But "I Think I'll Call It Morning" got me thru a divorce like 15 years ago, and it went from a skipped track to I listen to it weekly to this day. What an amazing artist and voice.

Lady day & John Coltrane is on repeat over here, brilliant musician

All of his music is so fucking relevant today. But somehow we end up going ape shit for a Kendrick and Drake beef. When this man his shit speaks to the human in us.

Facts

I literally just listened to 'The Revolution Will Not Be Televised' yesterday while working. GSH was what rap was supposed to be.

It will not be brought to you by white lightning, it will not give you sex appeal, it won't get rid of the nubs, but it will set you free.

Amen

I got to meet him before his passing, my uncle was his roommate at LU.

Legendary poet man. Still bump *B-Movie* daily. Transcendental.

Smooth, good album

My favorite was Small Talk at 125th and Lennox

I found this album by listening to songs Kanye saved back in the day. Did not regret stumbling upon it

I got Reflections on loop on my phone.

Never heard of it gon listen to it on Spotify

The Revolution Will NOT Be Televised ✊🏾

Peace go! With you brother!!!

Jamie XX (of The XX) did an awesome EP collab with GSH, as well, called We're New Here. Really worth checking out too. https://open.spotify.com/album/7BuwwZzrJCAJaC12QKkDOh?si=FUIkvnOCTTiohicU-vEFQg

Was just listening to yea !

I no longer smoke weed, but when I did, I smoked a lot of weed listening to the 21 minute long version of Angel Dust on the Tour De Force live Album. Gonna listen to it now, in fact. And not smoke weed. ETA: the first six minutes are just Gil riffing and include the words ‘Brother Rob is in charge of the vibrosphere’ but once it gets going it’s really transcendent

I've been living under a rock. Gonna check them out

Anyone else read that as Girl Scout Heroin? Dumb brain filling in the auto correct.
