TimeStamps: 00:00 Guru talking about this day. 00:09 Show intro 00:24 Guru freestyle 03:10 Eminem freestyle 04:19 Guru freestyle 05:12 Eminem freestyle 07:01 Guru freestyle 08:52 Eminem freestyle 09:47 Guru freestyle 10:40 Guru freestyle 11:25 Eminem freestyle
You can tell Guru was impressed by Em’s skills. You can tell as a veteran he was going in on him after he kept saying “one more…one more” lol. But Guru was nice on the mic, and Eminem, well he was unique to say the least.. can’t believe I just heard this freestyle 🔥
Eminem gets a lot of flack for talking about his issues over the years but at the time it was rare seeing someone approach it the way he did - he really said things that didn't paint him in a positive light but he embraced that negative side the way only a few others had in hip hop.
First rapper to make fun of himself literally...in 1998 even the most lyrical MCs mainly structured rhymes about destroying other mcs and Eminem had humor unlike Canibus
@Lil Nerf He didn't get smoked wtf are you talking about? I love both of them, but saying Em smoked Guru is just stupid. Their subject matter was completely different.
@@lethalassassin1754he got outclassed here crazy bars even guru had to admit before he rapped em is going to be legend because he had been rapping all night blowing his mind open with his wild expressions . Only two other rappers I think of are as descriptive without big words as em
Holy shit, now that's something i have never ever heard before. Dudeee your channel is fucking fireeee. If you can upload Eminem and Elton John's Grammy performance with some good quality, i would appreciate it a lot. You rock buddy 👏👏
I was taping this when it broadcasted I thought shady was the dude from pharcyde that said "in my younger days I use to sport a shag on passin me by" RIP Guru
Yo this is for my late homie Jimmy. Back in the days we used listen to kind of shit and do house party plus pop pill smoke blunts and do mic battles. RIP little homie. Your in an better place. AGB4L
I always loved guru hes not even ny but he got the style but as a grown up and he's dead im appreciating him more legend underrated top 5 dead or alive
I would’ve loved to hear Cage & CopyWrite & Eminem go back n forth.. especially in this era of Eminem, he was insane then with the rhyme schemes, and concepts.
Yo i still remeber when em first spit this it was so fresh and dope and just being on with guru was legendary and him giving em props was a huge co sign
‘You must be crazy’ by DJ Rectangle. Ems the first verse and it’s the same as his first verse here. Whole thing is just one rhyme scheme, it’s fucking nuts
Also his rhyme schemes extended for 16 bars which wasn't the norm back then, plenty of rappers weren't even using multisyllabic rhymes much let alone an entire verse.
Guru was dropping multis off the top in this freestyle left and right. But I agree Em was raw and just so outlandish but he was nice lol. Something a lot of people don't really understand and why pioneers and legendary MCs respect Em, he's one of the best to ever do it.
@@lethalassassin1754 guru was so good at multis and wouldn't force anything most importantly, easily one of the most natural rhymers. All time great. Em was dope during this time because he really pushed how long you could carry on a rhyme scheme without sounding forced, I will say he eventually went too far during his career trying to do it which led to some questionable material.
@@anatorres-ym8ke I've listened to all of those rappers and would rank them above Eminem overall, but at the time this was released Eminem was more advanced with his rhyme patterns than a lot of rappers. And I also agree he notoriously rapped about other topics on his first album and nobody cared, he started spewing negativity and people ate it up. That all being said, I don't have to rank Eminem ahead of other legends to say he was good during this time period.
The furthest I was able to track it is a dj Doo Wop mixtape “A Bronx Tale” on the Fat Joe Big Pun freestyle This seems to be the Origen but if you could trace it back even more or to the original sample let me know
This verse from em at the start is on stretch and bobbito so is this even real? Or did the creator of the stretch and bobbito video rip his verse from this? Who knows lol
I be the supreme father plus the ill kid with drama my karma creates the teflon to pierce your body armor so make sure you check yourself before you walk to me or talk to me steppin to me unproperly may bring you death by weaponry

NOT HARD TO BELIEVE FOR ME. THESE CAT'S ARE LYRICISTS! THO I'M NOT A HUGE FAN OF EM, HE GETS DOWN! I JUST DON'T AGREE WTHE BEAT SELECTIONS ON HIS ALBUMS.

What’s the beat for 5:12? 🔥
@@whatisthat8783 Rakim the saga begins
You can tell Guru was impressed by Em’s skills. You can tell as a veteran he was going in on him after he kept saying “one more…one more” lol. But Guru was nice on the mic, and Eminem, well he was unique to say the least.. can’t believe I just heard this freestyle 🔥
0:15 "Eminem is like the new legend about to rise, man, I feel."
Damn he called it 🤯🤯
This is a gem. I’ve listened to hip hop since the day I was born 22 years & never knew this existed
Do more research lot of bet shit that aint up yet like the full freestyle of guuru tupac and big list ceep going on ;)
My 2 favs, insane I only found out about it now. Just saw Em on a youtube short shouting out Gang Starr never knew they freestyled togheter
Never knew Guru and Eminem shared mics on sway 'n tech, crazy shit mad love for uploading this man! Guru R.I.P.
that's why he put guru on 8 mile soundtrack.
@@imammesum Yep he repay the favor
Eminem gets a lot of flack for talking about his issues over the years but at the time it was rare seeing someone approach it the way he did - he really said things that didn't paint him in a positive light but he embraced that negative side the way only a few others had in hip hop.
First rapper to make fun of himself literally...in 1998 even the most lyrical MCs mainly structured rhymes about destroying other mcs and Eminem had humor unlike Canibus
Redman and Cage also
Legendary my Two Favs Ever Em & Guru glad I found this video LONG LIVE GURU🥹🙌🏽🐐🐐🔥✨
Guru voice was soo great ems lyrically dope af 🙌🏽 this is a gem fr 🙌🏽 great team
Guru had already been in the game since ’89 and dropped 7 albums, Em was just coming out and was hungry.
RIP Guru
Eminem, keep slaying the game my dude
Guru cannot be touched even by some of the most lyrical monsters, he was a phenom boss on the mic
Eminem lyrically smoked guru here
@Lil Nerf He didn't get smoked wtf are you talking about? I love both of them, but saying Em smoked Guru is just stupid. Their subject matter was completely different.
Guru spits timeless bars. He’s like The Book of Proverbs on the mic. Straight wisdom and jewels. He most definitely didn’t get smoked by anyone here.
@@lethalassassin1754he got outclassed here crazy bars even guru had to admit before he rapped em is going to be legend because he had been rapping all night blowing his mind open with his wild expressions . Only two other rappers I think of are as descriptive without big words as em
One those most underrated ever .
Eminem was on another level back then! 🥶
"Em is the new legend that's about to rise" they never knew on just right they would b.
Holy shit, now that's something i have never ever heard before. Dudeee your channel is fucking fireeee. If you can upload Eminem and Elton John's Grammy performance with some good quality, i would appreciate it a lot. You rock buddy 👏👏
thanks bro, will do that one.
Dude this is crazy!!
GURU 4 ever (Em to)❤️
I NEVER heard Em's verse at 8:50 ! Crazy 🔥
Yee
Ohhhhhhhh
Same bro, and i’ve heard ALL of them
Thank you for this piece of HH history.
Wow!! Gangstar is amazing 🔥
Everything else has been said. Rockin the greatest headphones, ever!
Thank you for uploading this sir
This amazing tbh. Both MCs in their prime.
This is golden, thanks for the upload 🔥
Rest in Peace Guru
Guru," Eminem kick suttun".
To have the Vet Guru ask you to throw some verses and then afterwards feel your flow. Wow. 🔥🤌

Hip hop history
Absolute gem💎
Guru one of the best ever R.I.P.-- top 3 . YO Preemo !!
never heard that em freestyle from 8.52 wow this is dope appreciate this as a stan :D
I was taping this when it broadcasted I thought shady was the dude from pharcyde that said "in my younger days I use to sport a shag on passin me by"
RIP Guru
Damn I really underestimated guru’s freestyling ability that man could spit
Think Sway would ever guess that he would be employed by Em like 10 years later haha
Same as 50cent & Lala as well. She interviewed him in 02 & then she's now in Power
03:10 is absolute 🔥
Wat the name to this track
Whoever uploaded this was WRONG for not including the last bit of Em's and Psycho Les freestyle. Now I gotta find it
Yo this is for my late homie Jimmy. Back in the days we used listen to kind of shit and do house party plus pop pill smoke blunts and do mic battles. RIP little homie. Your in an better place. AGB4L
RIP
I never knew em used his Rap City verse before
I always loved guru hes not even ny but he got the style but as a grown up and he's dead im appreciating him more legend underrated top 5 dead or alive
I would’ve loved to hear Cage & CopyWrite & Eminem go back n forth.. especially in this era of Eminem, he was insane then with the rhyme schemes, and concepts.
Too bad Cage thought Em was biting him they could have been dope together.
Guru knew after Em's first verse that greatness was happening 🙌
Legendary 💯
Yo what. This crazy. Rip guru
Best video on youtube
Eminem went OFFFFFFFFF
Yo i still remeber when em first spit this it was so fresh and dope and just being on with guru was legendary and him giving em props was a huge co sign
crazyyyy you heard this on the radio live back in the day?
I've heard that em freestyle in two other places. Basement with big tigger and a song
Wkcr stretch bobbito show
‘You must be crazy’ by DJ Rectangle. Ems the first verse and it’s the same as his first verse here. Whole thing is just one rhyme scheme, it’s fucking nuts
OG Knew em on a mission fuck i miss that shit bro.
The last freestyle is a song called "Any Man"
Also his rhyme schemes extended for 16 bars which wasn't the norm back then, plenty of rappers weren't even using multisyllabic rhymes much let alone an entire verse.
Guru was dropping multis off the top in this freestyle left and right. But I agree Em was raw and just so outlandish but he was nice lol. Something a lot of people don't really understand and why pioneers and legendary MCs respect Em, he's one of the best to ever do it.
@@lethalassassin1754 guru was so good at multis and wouldn't force anything most importantly, easily one of the most natural rhymers. All time great.

@@NoCoastRaps nowadays he raps like a constipated man holding a dictionary...sometimes less is more
Big L and Big Pun and Kool G Rap did it before Em...they rapped about hood stuff so it wasnt as relatable as "i hate my mom"
@@anatorres-ym8ke I've listened to all of those rappers and would rank them above Eminem overall, but at the time this was released Eminem was more advanced with his rhyme patterns than a lot of rappers.

".... That your clothes is sticking you from it."
Gura was my favourite

Gangstar gets overthrown on the first beat also him: Alright we just gonna switch the beat 😢

"The Saga Continues" by Rakim (produced by Pete Rock)
Does anyone know the name of the beat that starts ems second verse? 5:20 on

@@jayd.o.t Its Psycho Les
Красава
Eminem didn’t rap about his mom in any of these freestyles.
"But the bitch wont admit it was her"
"I slit my mother open when i was 6 months and said im ready now aint you feeling these kicks cunt?" Lol
@@pllastmanstanding9716 Good catch I missed that one.
He did at 11:41
This is from his song “any man”
