    GangStarr one of the best Hiphop shows I had the honour to have seen in the UK. I remember them doing a flawless 2 hour set nonstop hits after hits. The crowd was packed and they went hard, every track banged. After the set GURU came off the stage and hanged out with the fans. Me and my boys had the pleasure of hanging out with GURU and just thuggin and rapping. He was coolest of cats!
