Above the clouds is hands down one of the best tracks of all time imo.
Betrayal was that track. You'd really feel everything conveyed in it.
@@-.-_-.Piece of mind
I agree.
That's my ringtone.
Gangstarr + Wu Tang, sheeeesh! It gotta be a winner.
RIP GURU ❤ DJ Premier for president!
Everytime I see a dj premier "so wassup" episode, I have to click on it because preemo never disappoint
Bumpy Knuckles aka Freddie Foxxx blacked out on this joint!
"Gloria Gaynor on you muthafu**kas I will survive". Bumpy went in 🎤.
@focuz4899 ☝🏾 You already know! And to now know he was waving two glocks in the booth while spitting this verse makes complete sense!
@@chadoworld Yeah every time I listen to it now I'm gonna visualize it.
@@focuz4899 No doubt!
Definitely! Disrespect you get the tech
Premier looks healthy and fresh. Love to see you like this king. 👑
Man, I was just reacquainting myself with Moment of Truth over the weekend!
No plan is bullet proof
Hell yeah! And how did that weekend go? Lol. I'm sure it was CRAZY!
My favourite Hip Hop album of all time. Ive bought it at least 4 times now, always gotta have one on my shelf. The title track is the best of all time. Greatest track hands down. RIP Guru.
Real talk!
Maybe my favorite hip hop line ever
"I'm ready to lose my mind, but instead I use my mind
I put down the knife, and take the bullets out my nine"
Freddie Foxxx, from Flavor Unit to Gangstarr. He was cold with it
word...and still is.
Premo is the GOAT!!
Life really wouldn't be the same without this album. Moment of Truth is one my all time top 3 tracks of any genre, any era. And one that has stayed with me constantly since the age of 11. Always felt like Guru was in the room teaching me and giving me life lessons haha.
So appreciative of this series. A week doesn't go by when I think "can't wait for the next episode".
Salute the floppy disk and the golden era!
What a pillar of hip hop this man is.
RIP Guru.
It's a top song fr, it's been making me emotional for nearly 2 decades.
Same. I was a kid newly diagnosed with something, in the hospital, and Moment of Truth was on the video game soundtrack that my cousin got me to help like comfort me. That song meant so much at the time
Yea Guru really was a teacher for our young minds that were open
All facts
"Before i slides i'mma leave you this jewel
Even mechanics walk around with their tools" one of the coldest lines ever🥶🥶🥶
Above the clouds changed my life period. Music was never the same after I heard that. Masterpiece
This album saved my life. More than once!! Certified classic….
You are Hip Hop, a massive part of my childhood, my adolescence, my adult life, my now and present, as a parent. I will always push Gang Starr to everyone who wants to listen. I WILL ALWAYS SOLEMNLY SWEAR TO REPRESENT HIP HOP IN THE PUREST MOST RESPONSIBLE RESPECTFUL WAY. I owe it you Preemo 💚☘️👊🏻💯
Whattt! New episode!? New background? SO WASSUP!?!
One of the most all time classic records, classic albums, OF ALL TIME!!
Rest in Power Guru, my favorite emcee ever. Hands down.
I went to a festival in Liverpool called Creamfields in 1999 and I got myself to the front of the large tent in which Gangstarr was about to perform. I asked the security if I could speak to DJ Premier and he kindly came over and spoke with me and give me a Gangstarr tour t-shirt. I will always remember his gesture. He is a good guy!
Besides this version of "The Militia", the Pete Rock Remix of "The Militia" and "The Militia II" featuring WC & Rakim are also certified bangers from the late 90's era.
Let the games begin
Yessir no doubt 🔥🔥🔥
could do without that WC verse tho....
Big shout to Bumpy Knuckles!!!
The Glizzy’s makenso much sense in this story! You can actually see it bar for bar!
he was gonna kill it one way or another.
"So Wassup?" never dissapoints
6:13 - Standing over 50 cent in the Brown leather. None other than Giancana Kool G. Rap💐
Freddie Foxxx verse is one of my all time favorites. 🔥
Who else can round this Freddie Foxxx verse?🤔 I'll wait!
prem feels like family bro....can`t stop watching him talking for hours.....every song every scratch every word....makes my heart warm..bro....one love from berlin city
Dj premier is the greatest producer of all time.
It’s a travesty that Daily Operation never went gold.
Moment Of Truth got my into hip hop and nothing ever beats that era
I’d love to hear Premier talk about the making of Speak Ya Clout. That track is bananas.
I bought that shit in 98 and will never stop playing the tracks. Real Hip-Hop 4 Life.
Dj Premier tells the best behind the scene stories. He remembers it like it happened 5 minutes ago. R.I. P. Guru, HQ & HQs MOM!
Well this is a outta nowhere pleasant surprise
Finally back!...The Militia is one of my top 3 Premier beats along with NY State of Mind and Kick in The Door. Freddie Foxx's verse was simply show stopping
This history lesson straight from the source is so incredibly valuable. Moment of Truth along with ATLeins are my 2 all time favorite albums that I hold very close! These episodes are greatly appreciated 🙏
Premo and Guru touched lives all around the world. I had the fortune to randomly bump into Guru at Bondi Beach of all places, and told him how much it meant to me. I cherish that memory. Rest in Peace and Premo - you are the MAN for so many beatmakers around the world.
GREATEST ALBUM OF ALL TIME. RIP GURU 💎
Thank you Gangstarr for quality hip hop. You remind me of my Walkman 💯👊🏾😎
Moment of Truth is probably my favorite album of all time. So many gems
Favourite album of all time. Salute!
Will never forget how I felt when I first listened to « Moment of Truth » … Couldn’t believe how good it was sonically. No skip. Feeling of wellness going through my whole body. Goosebumps. Perfection. 💯
I don't think I rinsed and rinced a Hip Hop album as much a s I did with Moment of truth? Goosebumps still anytime i hear those classics. PREMIER & GURU FOREVER GANGSTARR 🎤🎧🎧🎛🎚🎙💯
MOMENT OF TRUTH one of my favourite ever albums ever!! What a record!!!
Militia Pt. 3 deserves honorable mention as well
you a international treasure bro
could be listenin to this ish all day
Next up DISCIPLINE💯💯💯💯💯💯. That track is highly slept on!!! But also highly relevant!!!!
Watching the extended Idea Generation interview, wondering when So Wassup? would return and here we are...thank you PREEMO
Bought this on vinyl. Proud to own this. I even have the gang Starr metro card. If you know then you know. Gang Starr forever.
We were in The Astoria, 1999 (Gang Starr + Big Shug + Freddie Foxx + Afu-Ra). I remember when Premier dropped "The Militia" . The whole venue energised and started trying to touch the ceiling. Absolutely, some of the best 4:48 minutes of my whole life. I also remember the white guy (with dreadlocks) passed out at the back of the club on the floor with a big smile on his face. Amazing performances all night and the most incredible crowd I've ever been a part of.
Always a joy hearing uncle Preemo drop science! Salute to the living legend!
"They expect greatness from you to be spoken on". Premier is mos def one of the greatest! So glad I found this channel! Lovin every minute! Every word spoken! Amen!
It's the Militiaaa! 💯🍻
I just finished your 2.5h interview on IDEA GENERATION yesterday and was hoping we'd get another So Wassup? soon, as always Preemo is on time 💎

0:15 great DJ Premier 🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥
This might be the hardest beat that makes you amped up ever, still listen nowadays and that kick is just nuts, legendary last verse
FUCK YEAH!! This series is coming back SWINGING!
Rest In Peace GURU....Rest In Peace, Headqcourterz....... Head UP....Eyes AND Ears..OPEN
"Even mechanics walk around with their tools" fuuuuccck!!!🔥
glad this series is still going
200K subscribers now! Nice. Should be 2M though!
FACTS! This man "DJ Premier" is a major influence on the music soundtrack of my life!
I just been bumpin to the Kolexxxion album the last few days. And I never even noticed Fame in the video that's dope.
Miss those times, when hip hop was dope! 💪
Man! Shug's verse is just nothing but quotable lava! And of course, "even mechanics walk around with their tools" one the best records that has legacy to ever be created!
Edit! Yes of course Bumpy Knucks! Spit that last line! One of the illest last lines in the history of hip hop!
Hyped you're back in the mixxx with so whassup!
The mechanics line was bumpy knuckles lol not shug tho
Absolutely!
Bumpy Knuckles had the machanics line not Shug.
@EpisodiacSelections. I Eradicate move fakahs, rolled with coke shakahs, gave dap to mad money makahs..... You aint lying about quotable lava. LOL
This!
"Premier hit me with music to ensure that it thump right
And my flight, will be taken solely at night
'Cause that's when the freaks come out, no doubt
And in the dark hours is when I will shower
With the knowledge of my trade to get paid
Still I make moves like a snake in the grass, roundabout"
That whole album the moment of truth is a masterpiece, and The Militia is a heavy banger, R.I.P Guru.
Bumpy left the earth on that verse.
❤❤❤ -then say goodnight
Big Shug delivered one of the Top Ten opening lines ever
Appreciate you brother
Какой кайф что Примо вернулся с So Wassup? Момент Истины один из моих САМЫХ любимых альбомов!!! Gang Star 4EVER!!!!!
I was just wondering what happened to So Wassup....glad to see it's back
Preemo is the🐐💯
Forever Classic...
THE MILITIA and JUST TO GET A REP held me down in the 80s ✌️
Freddie Fox wit da Glizzies😂😂😂
It's been a minute!
Thank you for this Preemo!!!!! My favorite song!!!!
I remember when this video dropped, I was floored. It's still one if my favorite songs all time. Also introduced me to Big Shug, and Freddie Foxxx. For that, I am thankful.
HANDS DOWN MY ALLTIME FAVORITE GROUP!!! I got Everything going back to "No More Mr. Nice Guy". Some groups come out EXPLODE and then fall off, others are hit and miss albums with one or two song that you EFF with HARD. The Chain and the STARR is the most Consistent and with each Album it just got better, Better & BETTER and harder & HARDER YOOOoooooo. I just wish I can Chop it up with you and tell my Stories while BANGING these Joints. SALUTE!!!
Moment of Truth top 10 hip hop record all time in my book. I go back and listen to it probably a few times a year and its always like the first time hearing it RIP Guru man his storytelling and unmatched lyricism that trademark unique monotone flow reels ya in the features and Preems fucking cuts man. Just a 10/10 hip hop masterpiece. "Infinite Skills Create Miracles" -Guru 🙏
Channelling some RAMMELLZEE. In wild style he was pointing his loaded sawed off out at the crowd while rapping.
Preemo is the G.O.A.T
Arguably one of your best tracks Preme.. RIP Guru 🌟
This record is freaking insane. Shout out to Prem. This is my first time hearing it.
One of the best Gang Starr's song.
Bumpy knuckles - king of the Third verse baby. Finding out how he recorded his verse the way he did makes this track hit even harder. If that’s even possible
I can visualize Bumpy standing in the booth with a fur on and 2 glizocks out spitting that verse. That's ill!
I remember i bought this album the first day it came out. This was my first Gangstarr album. It was a tuesday evening…i was in the 10th grade…and on the first listen I knew it was a classic
Premoo is the greatest person in the world including GURU Rest in peace! My biggest motiviation ever!!! Nobody will ever repeat what Premoo and GURU did!!
Rest In Peace GURU!! Legends Never Die!!
Gang Starr forever!! Gang Starr for life!!
I am so glad to see this series back again. Literally the best hip-hop related thing on youtube. I could listen Preemo tell stories all day long. Thank you Preem!
I've always thought that DJ Premier is the definition of real hip-hop!
Its been too long! Been waiting for this series to come back. Still bang moment of truth to this day! Absolutey timeless
Finding the most random, obscure samples to pull together into one cohesive banger is what makes you a master Preem! That's why I've always love this song
During that 4 year break in between Gangstarr albums…Guru did the Jazzamatazz albums Volumes 1,2 & 3.
Premo got busy producing the Group Home album Living Proof and Jeru Tha Damaja The Sun Rises in the East…along with producing hits for a variety of hip hop and R&B artists.
That album was great!!! The Militia, Betrayal and royalty was my favorite!!!
If I’m not mistaken, Big Shug got Hip Hop Quotable for his verse
I think it was Krumbsnatcha for “Make Em Pay.” Not sure though
@@erick.roberts9074 you might be right
Would love to have an episode on The Four Owls - Think Twice
Four owls r killing it over here and to have a Preem produced track is the highest blessing in hiphop
Love and respect from the UK
I remember first hearing the Militia on the radio in the Bay Area during a DJ mic session back in ‘98 - I remember that beat going hard on mixes - then when I picked up Moment of Truth & heard the full song I was thinkin man this shit slaps hard - still recite all the lyrics when I bump this track - “if Feds only knew how I felt about the rap game, they relocate and change their f’in name” y’all know what it is! R.I.P. GURU
GANGSTARR HAS GOT TO BE THE SURE SHOT
I'VE BEEN SO READY FOR THIS NEW SEASON AND WE'RE STARTING OFF WITH GANG STARR!!
Bostonian Gangstarr Fan for life...Dope if we could get a Pt. II with you and Pete speaking about his remix because that blew my mind back in 02 when I was in high school.
monu "f*kin" mental album!..... from start to finish 100% pure hip hop
The work & dedication shows in the work these brothers created.
Daily Operation was my shit when I had the tape cassette walking to school because I overslept and missed the bus.
Bumpy Knuckles' part here destroyed nearly everything at that time. And still does until today
Moment of truth is arguably the greatest hip hop album of all time!
