Gil Scott-Heron's "The Revolution Will Not Be Telelivised" is calling for a revolution within the black community. Heron feels that there is no time to waste in order for the black community to change for the better. He calls out the black community to revolt and get out until their rights are handed to them.
Scott-Heron speaks out to his audience as if he is speaking to them personally. He uses slang in the process of spreading is message, calling blacks his "brother". This method is commonly used though out media even till this day. Heron also uses somewhat vulgar speech by referring to cops as "pigs". He seems very serious and personally it felt very persuasive in accomplishing the message.
