Love this project. I haven’t heard much from Gil Scott-Heron aside from his classic “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised”, same goes for Brain Jackson. But despite this, I feel like this album was a great introduction to the both of them.

Hello, I am making a community list and if you're interested in contributing I would appreciate your input. I have been interested to execute this research for a while so I hope to get as many responses as possible. You just have to answer a simple question: Do you use light mode or dark mode on the AOTY site? You can also give an explanation on why you use either one. Thanks a lot if you decide to answer!

About

I am a very emo, and very black 18 year old Mx. I want to go by she/him pronouns from now on. So with that out of the way, Thomas Erak is a musical god among men, Jonathan Higgs can't sing/annunciate for shit, and ALL CAPS when you spell the man’s name, RIP DOOM.

Btw I color code my fav albums, they revolve.
