To artists, this may no necessarily be a flex. It means they make the same stuff all the time to the point where people hear it over and over with nothing new. Art folk say it to each other as a backhanded compliment.
@@elephantgrass631 I disagree. Preemos beat just really emphasises the lyrics and makes the song just better. Everyone of his beats is unique but he is still recognisable.
Have to thank my brother for this one. When I was a kid, I would steal this CD, and wu-tang's Forever and 36 chambers. Stuff that brings back good times.
Yeah, I think Gangstar got and gets a ton of attention as one of the greatest duos. The only thing I'd say is underrated is that they're not in more Top 5 convos.
nah an example of cats that were slept on is BINARY STAR. GANG STARR were not slept on. Mad reputation. Preemo shares my top spot with RZA and Prince Paul for production
Incorrect. I see Guru listed by many people as a great rapper. Also look how many views his videos have. Your statement is incorrect. My guess for the most underrated would be K-Rino. He's been around since early 80s has the most albums in hip hop history, stil drops albums to this day, he's a pioneer, an innovator, master lyricist, versatile, has the strongest work ethic of any rapper PERIOD, longevity, he's a master of punchlines, metaphors, story telling, knowledge, concepts and content and yet hardly anyone knows who he is, if you think Guru is more underrated than K-Rino I suggest gaining some knowledge before making statements as such. Find me a rapper even gets close to the same criteria who is as unknown as K-Rino. You won't find one.
+Julio Sanchez Fucking bullshit! Only hip-hop heads know gangstarr. Most people have no idea of them. Unless you're kicking it with the right people you're full of shit
Cats don't know because the mass media outlets don't want this type of positive stuff to seep into the minds of those they've already corrupted with bullshit so called music. The industry doesn't care about rhetoric anymore just a quick buck.
Had this crazy dream where I was on the escalator coming up from the subway, in front of me was Guru and 4-5 of his crew, including a kid like 10 years old. Guru’s telling a story, but fully rhyming and flowing. Not performing or freestyling, just like that’s how he always talks in regular conversation. And it is DOPE. Tap the kid on the shoulder and I ask him - “ay yo is he always like this?” Kid just nods.
Technically DJ Premier bought him back to life and just dropped an album with Guru... meaning it has some of Guru's voice rappin.... some stuff that he bought from the vault .
I feel like an old asshole who grumbles to the younger generation that in our time everything was different, the grass was greener, etc. , but it is undeniable that real rap is dead, it no longer exists, and in order to enjoy the masterpieces of rap music we have to go back to the past.
GURU may have past, But for me he comes to life when I press play! Never 4get meeting u in 8st Manhattan village, & another time we halungout. U spoke how we need to progress ourselves, wisdom & positivity! Solar took advantage of that good guy (we know u hiding in BX Solar) RIP Keith Edward Elam!
Is it okay to actually miss MC Guru? Like to be actually saddened by his passing 7 years ago? It's not even just his amazing music that he put out, but his messages. He taught, expanded, and enhanced the minds that listened to his songs. RIP MC Guru
man i stop watchin gangstarr vids for a few years and ppl are sayin slept on and underrated n shit. man this is a legend and all the legends knew him, bunch of robots.
@@radzo1675 Ask the Adults. Who were into Hip-Hop during Guru's Era. They know him very well, he wasn't underrated at all. He was the most well-known rapper of East Coast during his time.
prazertv you know how people look back at old tunes i think wtf why everyone like that shit this stuff dont get old shows its a classic and worth its weight these new poser fake fuckin actors will be laughed at in the future dont worry time cleans peoples souls

This is pure art right here when guru touch the mic in his hand his lyrics was so incredible no one cant touch him man Gang Foundation Forever rest in peace Guru u inspired my life Thank u
It's amazing how the beat can instantly be recognized as DJ Premier's. The man is a fucking genius.
Gang starr one of.the best

Yea premier has his own watermark on every beat. You can easily recognize a premier beat

Gang Starr is one of the most SLEPT ON hip hop groups of all time. They embodied hip hop in everyway.
Real hip hop
How are they slept on, they're one of the most beloved and respected groups in the culture
Yeah, I think Gangstar got and gets a ton of attention as one of the greatest duos. The only thing I'd say is underrated is that they're not in more Top 5 convos.
What!? They are one of thw most respected duos ever how are they slept on
nah an example of cats that were slept on is BINARY STAR. GANG STARR were not slept on. Mad reputation. Preemo shares my top spot with RZA and Prince Paul for production
A masterpiece still in 2024

I remember buying the CD. I couldn’t stop listening to this. And I still can’t stop. Crazy!!!!
RIP Guru, The most talented MC is deeply missed.
I can barely see him in top 10 lyrical rappers this shows that he is underrated!
😥

It doeznt get any better than Premo on the brakes and Guru on tha mic. RIP GURU
180th like. Best of the best. OF ALL TIME.
Juggernaut
I am shocked that Gang Starr is not more well known. Not only in the mainstream but even within the hip-hop community. These guys were the best!
+TafTabTah Everyone that's a fan of hiphop knows Gang Starr. Cut that shit out, they're beyond famous.
+Julio Sanchez Fucking bullshit! Only hip-hop heads know gangstarr. Most people have no idea of them. Unless you're kicking it with the right people you're full of shit
they known just not much people appreciate their music .
Those who dont know gangstarr r not hip hop fans...
Cats don't know because the mass media outlets don't want this type of positive stuff to seep into the minds of those they've already corrupted with bullshit so called music. The industry doesn't care about rhetoric anymore just a quick buck.
Beat Is Insane ! PREMO K1lled It
No mumble, that was real hip hop. 🎉
Rest in Peace to one of the few legends from the golden age of Hip Hop.
it's 2020 and still one of the best song ever recorded.
You're absolutely RIGHT and svaka to Čast
they got Skillz
Bruno Janković what a track indeed
Nejlepší track
Rest In Peace to a real MC ... Guru the best to do it!💯💯🇨🇦🔥🙏
Guru is in top 5
Guru is like that uncle in your family that's so cool, you just gravitate towards him cause he always got a story.
For real !!!
Soo smooth would have been on the radio if he wasnt on the radio
Gang Starr one of the best Mc Dj duos in history Rip Guru
DJ premier best producer ever.. insane beats
rey024 agree
Shrapnel no need to think, it’s obvious to all the real Hip Hop heads
Yep premo all day
Top 3 but not first

Its crazy how many people come back to this everyday... this song is masterpiece!
it never gets old and it bumps hard
It sure is
🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
From the release, TILL THIS DAY!
Guru was the most intelligent and unique rapper ever in my opinion. Dj premier has no equal and I'm forever grateful for his contribution to hip hop.
Best duo of all time. Classic.
What about eric B. and rakim
+Robert Petrie I don't know my man i just love Gang Starr more. Maybe it's about Preemo's beats, maybe about Guru's voice. I don't know, like I said.
I do too
+Robert Petrie Rakim is a better rapper than Guru. But, no one beats Gang Starr..
Rakim si not even close to guru and no comes close to kool Keith.
Maybe Guru is dead but he is always alive in the music
Technically DJ Premier bought him back to life and just dropped an album with Guru... meaning it has some of Guru's voice rappin.... some stuff that he bought from the vault .
Hell yea Primo da man salute!!!!
Yeah!❤️
MC G.U.R.U is the greatest rapper all time (rest in peace and power sir) - debatable, bold statement that I stand by
Real Hip Hop...
Guru & Gang Starr, the definition of skills. RIP Guru.
+Ric Smith you mean Guru and Dj Premier.....not Guru and Gangstarr lol
William Coman
you know what i meant lol
+Ric Smith or just gangstarr
Dynamic duo
What weak ass person hit the hate button thumbs down. Gang Starr was one of the pioneers of this whole thing. I guess folks that don't have no SKILLZ.
I feel like an old asshole who grumbles to the younger generation that in our time everything was different, the grass was greener, etc. , but it is undeniable that real rap is dead, it no longer exists, and in order to enjoy the masterpieces of rap music we have to go back to the past.
at least you’re self aware
This tune is sweating with skills. Beat, rhymes, flow. Perfect
Skills: something 99% of rappers lack today.
WIN!

Top 3 rap duo of all time :
-Dj premier and guru
-Prodigy and Havoc
-Eric B and Rakim
FRX The Raptor I can dig that. Most definitely
FRX The Raptor we just gonna erase UGK and OutKast hm?
I'd just add Mos Def and Talib for a top 4 lol
@@elyedai agreed black star is defo top 4 and outkast would be top 5 imo.
Q-Tip and Phife
The world forgot the elements of hiphop.... Graffiti....B-boy....DJ....Emcee.......without these elements all i hear is nails to a chalk board
Is it okay to actually miss MC Guru? Like to be actually saddened by his passing 7 years ago? It's not even just his amazing music that he put out, but his messages. He taught, expanded, and enhanced the minds that listened to his songs. RIP MC Guru
Word up
Stewbob112 totally normal
he lives on in his music. that is the beauty of music. it conserves a moment in time and the message of the lyrics is universal like his rhymes.
OLD SCHOOL BUT STILL AHEAD OF THE GAME TODAY
Andy Johnson 2002 is old school?
Oh my fucking gosh how long it’s been since I heard a lyricist with actual brains
SKILLS it’s the music that the street loves
One of my favorite songs by them aha rest in Paradise guru !!
Really enjoy listening to this track, it has a relaxing feel to it.
Gurus rapping, the scratching and the instrumental. 💯

Just the intro n you know it's fire
R.I.P. Guru.
Respect and thanks for the message hip hop.
Back when rappers actually had skills, and they knew how to speak English.
Well they speak fucking French, Arabic and other languages now don't they?
I see your point prazertv but you can still find rappers who know how speak English. Plus their vocabulary is also very good.
ian smith They slurr some southern drawl until the hook comes.
prazertv you know how people look back at old tunes i think wtf why everyone like that shit this stuff dont get old shows its a classic and worth its weight these new poser fake fuckin actors will be laughed at in the future dont worry time cleans peoples souls
Yepz Eminem is wrack now
Just saw Premo in my hometown Calgary Stampede, dude is the beat making GOAT, Gangstarr Top 5 all time,if not your top 5 ain't for real!
I cant believe rappers actually put lil wayne in their top 5 and no one mentions this guy right here. Like what the fucks going on.
Yes. I don't know.
His scratching is so clean and on point!!!
Gangstarr, Gifted Unlimited Rhymes Universal and the Wheels of Steel - two of the best yet
The sample for this beat is amazing, but the way Preemo flipped it and arranged the drums is just beyond words. Absolute masterpiece.
Very few East coast artist I can listen to. Guru here was one of them. RIP.
Gotta thank my man Janis the blackjack dealer for reminding me about this track.
I know right?!
