Gilbert "Gil" Scott-Heron    1949-2011

poet and recording artist

whose syncopated spoken style

and mordant critiques

of politics, racism and mass media

in pieces like “The Revolution

Will Not Be Televised”

made him a notable voice

of black protest culture

in the 1970s

and an important

early influence on hip-hop
