Amazing that humans can appreciate and emotionally react to a 12-minute jazz piece, a 40-minute symphony and a 3 second loop. A testament to the versatility and breadth of music. No matter what, we are always responding to the moment and the whole simultaneously.
WOOOOWW, I never even realized it was a 3 second loop, it almost sounds like there are alternating high and low keys at the end of every pause, but it's an illusion.. you can trick yourself into hearing it both ways. WTF... This is why I love hip hop!!!!
This beat is simple but pure science by one of the fucking greatest!! Premier is a mad scientist!! Love this dude and Guru!! Continue to Rest in Rhyme Guru!!
Still remember being in the studio when guru wrote this. It was magic. Nobody could find a flow to this beat and he figured it out within the first 5 minutes
I remember hearing this song on BET after dark and I was young 14 year old that was obsessed with 2pac. Back then, we didn’t have mp3 players and my good friend Nayeli was a hustler and she would sell burn cds of songs she could get from Limewire, I always used to hit her with that old school shit after I hear of Gang Starr
Close your eyes and image a late winters night. Snow covers the landscapes in total whiteness and all you can hear is the sound of heating systems from nearby houses and its so cold u can see your own breath. Every time I hear this song I picture this and that puts me in a very peaceful state of mind.
I wasnt born until '96 but i been hooked on this song since Tony Hawk 4 bro. I love how the old games introduced my generation to alot of the old school classics man.
One of the hardest and most sought after sounds in the game. Premier is truly PREMIER. The catalog speaks for itself but damn if this doesn't go harder than Ron Jeremy in the 80's...
The way Premo scratched on this was just groovy! I must have written a thousand raps to this beat over the years and I couldnt think of a better sound to vibe to when this came out. By the way, shots to all you hip-hop trivasists out there -- the scatch Premo uses is off Da Youngstas "Pass Da Mic". Oz, Brooklyn
If you dont like these beat you dont know bout HipHop. This gotta be 1 of the illest beats of all time throughout the HipHop era. I had heard it before but never really got into, since recently. Dats cus lately ive been searching for some good HipHop n have found many good old school stuff. This here is good music 4 da soul.
Something iv noticed about premo beats is he puts in a sampled bassline thats low pass filtered out thats why the low end sounds so good hes not playing individual bass notes hes playing a sample loop ny state of mind is the ssme among others its a technique dilla used alot to and iv started doing it alot more in my beats
Around this era, roughly ‘93-‘96, that’s what he was doing. Around ‘97, he started playing basslines but how he did it, he blended the bass notes in with his sample chops, so much so that you barely noticed the bass line in some cases…
i cant help but comment to this vid in the form of a flow i'll never forget this feelin/ back when hip hop was gold r.i.p. Guru your legacy forever lives in my soul til the end of days/ my inspiration grows old in this story that im writin i hope one day it gets told.
I think when it comes to hip hop beats i believe the mid 1990s and early 2010s are the best times in my opinion that is both eras i really liked what i heard most of the time
No way, you'll never make it Come with the weak shit, I'll break it Step into my zone, mad rhymes will stifle ya Lines like rifles go blast when I kick some ass A lot of rappers be like one time wonders Couldn't say a fly rhyme if there was one right under Their noses, I hate those motherfuckin' posers But I'm so real to them it's scary And with my unique skills, nah, you can't compare me And no, we don't make wack tracks And all the suckers get pushed back when I'm kickin' real facts I represent, set up shit like a tent, boy You're paranoid 'cause you're a son like Elroy And you'd be happy as hell to get a record deal Maybe your soul you'd sell to have mass appeal Money's growin' like grass with the mass appeal Money's growin' like grass with the mass appeal Mass appeal Oh yes, I'm greater than all MC's When I breeze, give me room please I be like fascinatin' when I be updatin' Cuttin' off wack kids, pullin' their trump cards I thump hard, and make 'em say that I'm God Niggas be pretendin' they're hardcore Never know the meaning of (raw) But I get props like a slogan And no man could ever try to diss when I kicks my jam Lyrically def and connectin', complete mic wreckin' No double checkin', vocals kill like weapons But if I have to, I go all out with no mic Yeah, that's right, 'cause I survived mad fights And for my peeps I truly care 'Cause without some of them I wouldn't be here And they all know how I feel 'Cause suckers be like playin' themselves to have mass appeal Money's growin' like grass with the mass appeal Money's growin' like grass with the mass appeal Money's growin' like grass with the mass appeal Money's growin' like grass with the mass appeal I know I'm dope, but don't wet that I've suffered setbacks, but now I'm makin' greenbacks Just like baggy slacks, I'm crazy hip-hop Check one two and you don't stop Your head'll bop when I drop my crop of pure bomb Just like the seashore, I'm calm But wild, with my monotone style Because I don't need gimmicks Gimme a fly beat and I'm all in it Word is bond, I go on and on For you it's tragic, I got magic like wands So I'ma end this lecture and I bet ya Those who kick dirt, in due time I'm gonna get ya 'Cause I be kickin' the real While they be losin' the race tryna chase mass appeal Money's growin' like grass with the mass appeal Money's growin' like grass with the mass appeal Money's growin' like grass with the mass appeal Money's growin' like grass with the mass appeal Mass appeal Mass appeal Mass appeal Mass appeal
@CarsRapTrack The full song has such deep feeling to it. To me its like: late, late night driving, feeling the energy of the late night streets, city-scapes outside your window, running the Brooklyn avenues and highways with lights in the distance... I am an original Golden Era Hip Hop fan, a New York City native - I have huge love for Gang Starr and Primo. This IS one of the best songs and beats he ever made - but I have to agree with you... the instrumental is just a little... flat?

Amazing that humans can appreciate and emotionally react to a 12-minute jazz piece, a 40-minute symphony and a 3 second loop. A testament to the versatility and breadth of music. No matter what, we are always responding to the moment and the whole simultaneously.
Beautiful comment bro god bless you my brother!
Really amazing never put it into perspective that way
Simplicity is always best.
WOOOOWW, I never even realized it was a 3 second loop, it almost sounds like there are alternating high and low keys at the end of every pause, but it's an illusion.. you can trick yourself into hearing it both ways. WTF... This is why I love hip hop!!!!
Well said
The simple beats are the greatest
Faxxxxxxx
K.I.S.S keep it simple stupid. The credo of every established artist.
I still don’t know when all the attention went to trap/grime and those styles.
Kinda kinda not. A complex beat like how rza and mannie fresh arrange theres are hard as well
definitely one of the maddest beats ever made
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 (PlayStation 2) Classic game. R.I.P. Hip Hop (1980s-2006)
ayeeeee
that game brings back hella memories oh my goodness! my first tony hawk game ever. good times bro
haha yup.
Then do it
This beat is simple but pure science by one of the fucking greatest!! Premier is a mad scientist!! Love this dude and Guru!! Continue to Rest in Rhyme Guru!!

Love the swing on the beat and that mechanical swooshing sound in the background
From California. Everytime I heard this track, it said New York. I pray that young brothers turn their attention to this music again.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 introduced me to Gang Starr, since then, they have always been my favorite MC/DJ duo.

I get chills every time listening to this track..... the 90s was the best era of real hip hop.... #flatbushbornandraised #videomusicbox
was pretty much introduced to hip hop from this beat
DJ premier is the best at making beats
Thee best
One of the bests, not *THE* best
True
What about RZA, Timothy, Dre, Alchemist? Even Zytoven for them street niggas
Why does nobody mention havoc. He created one of the most iconic beats in hip hop

fine with me, we need a whole lot less of that 'christ' bullshit.
One of my favorite instrumentals ever. With or without the lyrics its a cold track.
A 2 second loop over and over is somehow beast. Amazing.
Lets see you do better oh wait….
Simple... Complicated...
Don't matter where it's at.
It's all about the feel and the funk, baby
one of the best beats to burn one and freestyle to
+Avocadobeats123 This beat will make you rip mic for sure.
Avocadobeats123 no doubt
one of the hardest beats i’ve heard encountered. one of my game winner songs when i play mortal kombat and that’s been since deadly alliance on ps2 🔥
This song make me sad that I gotta die one day & I won't be able to hear it anymore
Crazy how all the old school games had the best music ever created in it. Now it's dubstep. -.-
audiohope Dubstep is dead so I hope you’re happy lmao
I never heard this great track on a game. Probably I didn't pay attention. But I don't know why this beat reminds of one of Bully's soundtrack.
@@willgamer0849 This song is on Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4, I remember listening to this song while playing when I was younger... This is a masterpiece
@@Yvgog I played every Tony Hawk game except for the Pro Skater ones, They all had great sountracks a bunch of dope hip hop, metal and rock songs.

Came here after they played this in the NBA finals intros before like every game 😂 caught some inspiration off it and I’m gonna remix it 😁
Dopest beat I've ever heard!
Close your eyes and image a late winters night. Snow covers the landscapes in total whiteness and all you can hear is the sound of heating systems from nearby houses and its so cold u can see your own breath.

Some rap songs u shouldn't rap over and this is one. Classic
I disagree. Guru killed this beat.
cutejoshie i think he meant that only we should only hear guru’s lyrics on this beat.
Brah I am so glad that I was able to find this fire beat
Who ever created it is GOATED
Wait, wait, wait…. Did u just say whoever created it?? U must be a young mf.

No way, you'll never make it
Come with the weak shit, I'll break it
Step into my zone, mad rhymes will stifle ya
Lines like rifles go blast when I kick some ass
A lot of rappers be like one time wonders
Couldn't say a fly rhyme if there was one right under
Their noses, I hate those motherfuckin' posers
But I'm so real to them it's scary
And with my unique skills, nah, you can't compare me
And no, we don't make wack tracks
And all the suckers get pushed back when I'm kickin' real facts
I represent, set up shit like a tent, boy
You're paranoid 'cause you're a son like Elroy
And you'd be happy as hell to get a record deal
Maybe your soul you'd sell to have mass appeal
Money's growin' like grass with the mass appeal
Money's growin' like grass with the mass appeal
Mass appeal
Oh yes, I'm greater than all MC's
When I breeze, give me room please
I be like fascinatin' when I be updatin'
Cuttin' off wack kids, pullin' their trump cards
I thump hard, and make 'em say that I'm God
Niggas be pretendin' they're hardcore
Never know the meaning of (raw)
But I get props like a slogan
And no man could ever try to diss when I kicks my jam
Lyrically def and connectin', complete mic wreckin'
No double checkin', vocals kill like weapons
But if I have to, I go all out with no mic
Yeah, that's right, 'cause I survived mad fights
And for my peeps I truly care
'Cause without some of them I wouldn't be here
And they all know how I feel
'Cause suckers be like playin' themselves to have mass appeal
Money's growin' like grass with the mass appeal
Money's growin' like grass with the mass appeal
Money's growin' like grass with the mass appeal
Money's growin' like grass with the mass appeal
I know I'm dope, but don't wet that
I've suffered setbacks, but now I'm makin' greenbacks
Just like baggy slacks, I'm crazy hip-hop
Check one two and you don't stop
Your head'll bop when I drop my crop of pure bomb
Just like the seashore, I'm calm
But wild, with my monotone style
Because I don't need gimmicks
Gimme a fly beat and I'm all in it
Word is bond, I go on and on
For you it's tragic, I got magic like wands
So I'ma end this lecture and I bet ya
Those who kick dirt, in due time I'm gonna get ya
'Cause I be kickin' the real
While they be losin' the race tryna chase mass appeal
Money's growin' like grass with the mass appeal
Money's growin' like grass with the mass appeal
Money's growin' like grass with the mass appeal
Money's growin' like grass with the mass appeal
