Gil Scott-Heron Tribute Mix by Gilles Peterson

Gil Scott-Heron Tribute Mix by Gilles Peterson by gillespeterson

If you don't know who Gil Scott-Heron is, I do not like your taste in music. Or your taste, at least, needs some tweaking/educating in order for me to like it. The man is a legend and he became "was a legend" as soon as he passed away 10 days ago. He defined an era, was as proto hip hop as it gets and had so much socio-political substance to his music it is hard to fathom in this era of substance lacking lyrics in music. Man I miss substance. Man I miss Gil. Enjoy this Gil Scott-Heron mix by Giles Peterson. Or, depending on who you are, be baffled by the lyrical substance in the mix or by the lack of auto tune in the mix.
