#131 Home Is Where The Hatred Is – Gil Scott-Heron (1971)


 
Although I’d heard a few Gil Scott-Heron cuts (“The Revolution Will Not Be Televised”, “Johannesburg”) back when they came out, I didn’t become aware of this one until Kanye sampled it for “My Way Home” on his Late Registration album. (In case you’re wondering, I bought that album because another one of its tracks, “Hey Mama”, sampled “Today Won’t Come Again,” by folk singer-songwriter and WAMA Hall-of-Famer Donal Leace.)
