History Through The Eyes Of Gil Scott Heron
Many moons ago, I came across a poem entitled "Winter In America"which burrowed deeply within upon its first reading and has resided there ever since. As I grew in depth and maturity, I came to understand & appreciate Gil's work in a broader sense. As an avid fan of Hip Hop, I have seen how this man's influence is still rippling across the cultural landscape. Artists such as Dead Prez, Talib Kweli, Common and Shihan owe a tremendous debt to Gil Scott Heron, considered by many cultural critics as the forefather of rap music.
