Had to revisit this post because sir is on point on all of his tracks.  I'm gonna post Pieces Of A Man in the hook up spot because the guy knows music.  I see a lot with his spoken word and how direct he was which a lot of people use in hip hop these days.  Props and big ups to Gil for paving the way for our music today!

Yeah, absolute fantastic song by a genius. I also love "Home Is Where the Hatred Is", also sampled by Kanye West for a Common song ;)

Itīs a shame that so many young dudes donīt listen to music like this respectively donīt even know about it  :-\

I like the lyrics to most of his songs and his spoken word is nice.

Only song I heard by him is "Home is Where the Hatred Is" (thanks to Kanye's samples). Someone recommend some more of his songs and I'll check em out.
