Sometime around 1:30pm EST, Kendrick Lamar’s Grammy-winning single “Alright” played on the speakers, sparking a group sing-along. And although there were instances of intense conflict with officers, there were also uplifting moments of solidarity. It was the ninth day of protests against police brutality and racism, following the police killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and countless other Black people in this country. The large yellow words painted on the ground-“Black Lives Matter” and “Defund the Police”-were mostly covered by the feet of protesters, but the echoes of the crowd’s chants carried for blocks. On June 6, hundreds of activists and protesters gathered on Black Lives Matter Plaza, a two-block section on 16th Street in Washington D.C.

1" and named after the last line of that poem. He also has received countless references by basically every rap artist you could name, including a huge one by Kanye with his track "Who Will Survive in America?" which is built on a sample from Gil Scott Heron's "Comment no.
Gil Scott Heron is seen as the godfather of rap to this day. But true jazz rap is where the whole genre started. Hip hop beats started evolving separately from pop into the 80s, and by the time the 90s came around jazz-rap was a recognized sub genre with the Pharcyde and A Tribe Called Quest. Then people like Sugar Hill Gang took the vocal style and put it over pop, which actually put early rap into pop culture. Gil Scott Heron started adding some more rhythm and separated the genre from spoken word, but he always insisted that what he was doing was poetry. Rap was birthed in the 50s and 60s by Gil Scott Heron when he perfected jazz poetry. Honestly, I think Kendrick pales in comparison to these guys, esp Myka 9. Myka 9 - Five O'Clock Follies - this isn't a true a capella, they just removed the beat, but this will help you hear the rapping. Hot featuring Horace Tapscott - esp check out Myka 9's verse: "I've just encountered erratic nirvanic interlopers en route to seventh heaven call you back later" - This is probably the best comparison to "For Free" because it's spoken word rap over jazz. This is a good example of jazz / hip hop fusion, but it's not the best example of Freestyle Fellowship's styles. Everyone but Aceyalone is basically just singing the chorus. Daddy-O's rap on "Innercity Boundaries" is more old school (because he was an 80s rapper from Stetsasonic, not really a member of Freestyle Fellowship - really did not deserve to be on this song - but he was the producer), and this song probably isn't the best example of their rapping.
