Damn, reports say a legendary forefather to hip-hop has passed away. He was 62. We will pay homage next week in the Breaks section. Hip-Hop reacts on the tragic news after the jump. Rest In Peace, Gil.

Getting arrested three times in one day? That's the shit we don't like. Getting a feature placement on Kanye West's new album is a great look—Being behind bars isn't. Haven't we seen this movie before? This Chiraq MC and trouble are synomnous. Drive slow, young homie.You Played Yourself
The whole 2 Chainz robbery fiasco. The culprits. Tit for initially denying it and you fuck boys on the Internet who made him feel like he should. Ain't no shame in defending yourself by fists or by feet. It ain't safe in these streets.

damn, first soulja boi’s little brother, now Gill
@ toad3527, you don’t deserve to listen to hip hop. The problem is, hip-hop is a beautiful thing and it seems like nobody wants to study it & continue the memory of those who created it.
R.I.P. Gil
Damn…. Gil-Scott was a legend, as well as phenominal, but all those drugs that he did took his life away, and his career went.in oblivion…
Oh well, RIP Gil, you will be forever missed, and I still play “In The Bottle” every single day
He do look like common with a beard lmao
r.ip fam
People die everyday so what!
FUCK
OMG!! he just released an album like a year ago! R.I.P. Gil Scott-Heron! (by the way, this is the guy that speaks at the end of Kanye’s “Beautiful Dark Fantasy” album.)
Life is short, live it well.

i dont deserve to listen to hip hop because i havent heard of gil scott? how many people do you think that have listened to hip hop can name every rap forefather? wow, you gotta crawl before you walk
Damn, RIP
Damn fam, R.I.P I love Gil’s music. I sampled a LOT of his shit…and some of Kanye’s dopest records were sampled from his stuff.
RIP legend.
@ toad3527 You’re making an excuse. You’re basically saying, “I’m too ignorant to find out”, which is worse than what you said before.
toad3527 says..
“i dont deserve to listen to hip hop because i havent heard of gil scott?”
Nope, but here you go…

Rest In Peace to the legend Gil Scott.

Smh JayE. How about instead of being a dick you throw a link of Gil Scott Heron’s greatest songs so you can educate someone else.
RIP

Waits for the ONE person alive who can do a tribute (rap) song justice, to get the ball rollin.
Come on Lupe.
RIP G.S.H.
