Someday I'm going to tell my grandkids about the golden age of hip hop. Gangstarr will be one of the first musicians I mention. Rest in Paradise Guru. Your music transpires generations and lives on forever.
Brings me back to the 90s with my older bros listening to these gems. Droppings gems on yo Mellon!!if you don’t know the wisdom of the streets you don’t don’t know!!
Still kicking on this shit, same old hit worldwide beat, old days of rap heat, sound of poverty Send to the rap power property this is when you express Dont let old vibe to compress, Yo dog now its hard times, mumble fools act like they spit rimes Good Old days of hustle rimes, biblical like Jesus make water in wine Stared from young ones Still kicking like old ones We dont have rainbow hair We dont wear unicorn chain We dont mumble on beat We dont like new era sucka shit. Divide fools from hustle rimes We no like suckaz in our vibes Yeah im sure we are still kicking on same old gangstarr hits XD
Its crazy how often I can listen to the same old school tracks and never get tired of it! The beats , the flows the styles its just amazing what hip hop was back then. RIP to this incredible artist
the 80s and 90s -- this planet was a different place... so much creativity in every aspect of the human culture -- music, movies, books, video games, technology, everything....
Me Brooklyn born and raised I can tell you Cab drivers wore shook to travel to Bk when I was growing up , especially the 80's early mid nineties and even the 70's I heard also if you talk to a lot of OG's or Google it Bk was no joke etc. Around that time also as well as the Bronx etc.....
Damn I haven't heard this in years!! Takes me back to highschool! I used to bump Hard to Earn, The Infamous, and Dare Iz A Darkside all day and night! Real hip hop!
when i heard guru passed,it had me down for days...true artist,it sucks cuz i saw dj premier last week and i bet guru woulda bin rockin it here if he was still on earth RIP
Keith Edward Elam u will be one of my fav rappers forever. u are not really dead, ull live in music through the ages, wish i could die and have that effect on the world. RESPECT from Chile
''Nine times out of ten I win, with the skills I be weilding Got the tec one dealing, let me express my feelings Guru has never been one to play a big shot It's just the styles I got that keep my mic hot''Guru the blessed mc
At 1:11 the number on the car is a date, I googled it and it's actually a reference to riots that happened in LA to protest against police violence towards black people. Wow, these guys are geniuses
GURU ALWAYS KNO HOW TO SET THE VIBE IN A VIDEO TO GO ALONG WIT THE LYRICS TO MAKE U FEEL LIKE U WAS OUT THERE WITH HIM WHILE EVERYTHING HE RAPPING WAS GOING ON, HE A GREAT STORY TELLER, WHEN I LISTEN TO HIM AND WATCH HIS VIDEOS IT FELS LIKE I WENT BACK IN TIME & LIKE I'M IN NEW YORK WIT HIM!!!
I was a midwest gal bumpin this at that time never been to NY..music was universal but still held their sound of where they were from.... but I would loose my mind on Check the Technique...til this day I am the chick looking like she lost her damn mind when that song comes on!!!! Good Times!!!
Mate, he's only underrated by those that don't appreciate the true hip hop art form. Those who do, rate Guru very highly. I suppose Guru's days and the contemporary so called hip hop is quire divergent. PS: Check out 'Just to get a rep' and 'the ? remains'... which are special joints amongst many Gangstarr classics!
I live in Boston near the neighborhood he's from and he's a god out here. Nobody was smoother on the mic. I dont know how he's remembered in different parts of the country
the whole cabbie part at the beginning and end is a creative touch, furthermore they included all races which most rappers do not do today. respect and rip guru

Take this for example young brothers want rep Cause in the life they're living, you can't half step It starts with the young ones doing crime for fun And if you ain't down, you'll get played out son So let's get a car, you know, a fly whip Get a dent puller, screwdriver and be off quick With a dope ride, yeah, and a rowdy crew We can bag us a Benz and an Audi, too Even a jeep or a van, goddamn, we're getting ours, yo Take a trip up the strip, and be like stars so It doesn't matter if the cops be scoping They can't do jack, that's why a young brother's hopin' To do anything, anywhere, anyplace Buckwild in another court case It's the code of the streets So good!

i remember my older bro coming home with the no more mr nice guy LP on vinyl in the early 90's ...and I can honestly say that we both instantly realised what a savage premo truly is. And of course shouts to the late Keithy E for the totally inimitable flow sth London UK co signed from early!; )

+Steven Turner I love both. Incidentally, you don't have an mp3 of the Mellow Vibe remix of Ah Yeah do you? They took it off youtube a couple of years ago and I can't find it ANYWHERE...
LMFAO, so that was what Big Daddy Kane was referring to in "Another Victory". "Just the other day, I heard a brother say "Taxi cabs don't even come my way" They all be afraid they won't get paid So they zoom right past and pick up a lighter shade And if they stop, the first thing they want No more than two people and the money up-front Treatin' me like I'm some type of thug It might sound bugged but they don't wanna get mugged."
Great rapper and great DJ! I miss the days when rappers actually had talent and had things to say that made you think and with a great DJ that can make a beat that draws you in!
I agree with that in some ways...didnt have as good a flow or wordplay like rakim but he has a unique voice and style and I was always impressed with his delivery!
@@stephenheath8465 I'm a big fan of his music I remember buying a decade of gangster album back in 99 always thought he was a very underrated MC And underappreciated!!!
I always think of real rappers as them giving their lyrics and music listeners a 'sense' of "life and responsibility". Being real facing reality. How one deals with it is real. Real is being sincere. Spirituality, Street Knowledge, and Intellect is real. Real is not fake and vice versa. Fake is the "attitude of impressing" especially for reputation. What I dont understand is how Guru was knowledgeable and aware of personalities. He is amazing and impacts me mainly in this manner. - David R.
@KiraDanny it always gives me a smile to hear a youngster praise the classic artists. Too many garbage MC's today that could never stand up to most of the artists from the 80's & 90's. And too many of your generation that simply don't have a clue. Good for you! Keep REAL Hip Hop alive!!
Rappers the days claim they sing about their struggle. How tough it is growing up in the hood. But I don't see it in their songs. Gang Starr however. He literally raps about the struggle. And he doesn't have to swear or say nigga every 2 seconds. Miss rap like this. Everyone is on the same bullshit style these days.
grandmaster flash & the furious 5 spread also *the message* since '82 the same way *don't push me,cause i'm close to the edge! i'm trying not to lose my head. it's like a jungle sometimes and it makes me wonder how i keep from going under*

This is back when rappers had talent and could actually rap
There's still rappers like that just Underground Rappers Not that mainstream bullshit!
It wasn't just that. These cats actually had something to say. But yea, it was cool to be smart here. Now it's cool to be ignorant.
True. Even mainstream rappers had a lot talent and wrote great, meaningful lyrics to learn from. Lyrics that touched your heart and mind.

Get a dent puller, screwdriver and be off quick
With a dope ride, yeah, and a rowdy crew
We can bag us a Benz and an Audi, too

"Taxi cabs don't even come my way"

It might sound bugged but they don't wanna get mugged."
