One of our greatest artists. The forefather of many MC's, including Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Common, Chuck D and KRS-ONE. I'd start with this compilation if I were you.

Wasn't he scarily prophetic?

We need him more than ever today.

Indeed, he was. nod Politics is really nothing more than a B-movie. wink

We really do need him now. He spoke the truth.

This livealbum(apart from the titletrack) from 1976 was the first album
of his I bought & still 2day I regard it as my favourite.
A really great album!!!
I remember not long after I bought this I was gonna go see him in
concert in Stockholm.When I got 2 the venue I was told that the band was there
but they had lost Gil along the way & aperently he was still in Denmark
so the show was cancled & the band had 2 go back.

GSH listening is some cool shit. It's good for the head and the soul. Man,I remember hearing Disosable Heroes of Hiphopricy and thinking that the vocalist(Franti) must be Gil's son!
