Poet Gil Scott-Heron's '70s recordings, such as “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised", anticipated the rise of hip-hop. Conscious rappers like Black Star and Common have paid tribute by sampling his powerful, political spoken word on the laidback “Brown Skin Lady” and the funky “The People”, respectively. Drake even brought Scott-Heron to the club with the seductive 2011 hit “Take Care”.
