quite a cool documentary Gil Scott-Heron a few weeks ago on bbc4 with contribution from mos def and chuck d. think he's in prison at the moment for causing trouble over his HIV medication or something like that i read on tv.

 

very cool tunes. very influencial on other acts such as

Afrika Bambaata were fab, though - anyone remember them as Time Zone with John Lydon? 'World Destruction' - classic.
