Push Comes to Shove - Gil Scott-Heron & Brian Jackson
Added a bunch of bs to my resume today while listening to this song hoping i get hired.

Lecture 20: More spoken word from pioneering rap trailblazer Gil Scott-Heron (1949-2011). Here is the renaissance man’s legendary spoken word protest rap, “Whitey on the Moon” from 1970, a song about the dire poverty and hopelessness pervasive in a number of African American communities at the time of the moon landing in July 1969. This is a recording of Scott-Heron performing the reading live, and his remarkable stage presence and great sense of humour are evident from the get-go here. Recorded a year after the historic moon landing, this piece is a reminder of how alienated and disfranchised many African Americans felt in the aftermath of the Civil Rights Movement.
