Gil Scott-Heron: “Comment #1”

from Small Talk at 125th St. and Lenox

Here is the song that Kanye West sampled for “Lost In The World” that is not a Bon Iver song. This is not the first time Ye has danced with Gil.

SIDENOTE: Small Talk and Pieces of a Man blew my mind in college much the same way all kids with a more than passing interest in rap had their minds blown by them. Lame, but a rite of passage. I suspect Kanye had a similar experience.
