As an aside, I love posting that song and referring to it as a goof, but I've been listening to jazz more and more over the last decade. Recently I was on a long drive and thought after mocking him so much, I could give him a shot, maybe he's actually a good underground artist. I mean, that song does unironically slap...
I couldn't get through more than a few songs on the album. He is so viruently anti-White and just 100% All Black Power, All The Time. I mean, he had talent, but his stuff was just clearly and definitively Not Made For Me. I can watch Kung fu movies and Blaxploitation flicks that are so bad I ironically like them. Others are legit well done and even though the culture they depict is alien to me and they aren't made for me, I can unironically like them, like the Poitier/Cosby Uptown Saturday Night trilogy or Willie Dynamite.
But Gil Scott Heron...that dude just seethingly hates wypipo.
