Video: Gil Scott-Heron - RIP // + Twit One - A salute to Gil Scott-Heron

I´m glad Gil Scott-Heron called some attention on his last record and made once again clear what a gifted & powerful poet and musician he was. He showed a last time that he still got it - putting all the struggle with life and drug abuse in the rear. He died 3 days ago 62 years old in a new yorker hospital.

The first time I recognised him was actual on a sample..   So here is a kmd for you + a late performance (probably not one of his best, but it´s touching that he did such a performance on a small stage in the park..) of the man himself.
For all who are interested in his lifework I recomend the documentary: Gil Scott-Heron – The godfather of rap.
rest in peace.

Audio: Kanye West – MBDTF: The Samples // Compilation


FSD put together this compilation of the samples Kanye used for his new album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasies which I am playing a lot these days. Even Rihanna and Rick Ross can not keep me away from it. Mainly because the beats and the melodies are simply beautiful. I would have definitly dropped Swizz and RZA, because they totally ruin one of the best beats on there.
Listening to Devil In A New Dress you just want to now what the sample is. Here you go. Great job Ty Kidd.

01. Mike Oldfield – “In High Places” (Dark Fantasy)
02. The Turtles – “You Showed Me” (Gorgeous)
03. Cold Grits – “It’s Your Thing” (Power)
04. King Crimson – “21st Century Schizoid Man” (Power)
05. Continent No. 6 – “Afromerica” (Power)
06. Manfred Mann’s Earth Band – “You” (So Appalled)
07. Smokey Robinson – ‘Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow” (Devil In A New Dress)
08. Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth – “The Basment” (Runaway)
09. The Mojo Men – “She’s My Baby” (Hell Of A Life)
10. Black Sabbath – “Iron Man” (Hell Of A Life)
11. Aphex Twin – “Avril 14th” (Blame Game)
12. Bon Iver – “Woods” (Lost In The World)
13. Manu Dibango – “Soul Makossa” (Lost In The World)
14. Lyn Collins – “Think” (Lost In The World)
15. Gil-Scott Heron – “Comment #1″ (Lost In The World)

Video: Gil Scott-Heron - New York Is Killing Me // Directed by Chris Cunningham



We posted the song (nas version) a while ago. Here you got the video edit & visuals for Gil Scott-Heron's "New York Is Killing Me". Video is directed by Chris Cunningham, everybody knows him for his individual producing strategies. The chief of stop motion made a new extravaganza. Song and Music-Video are great!
