      was about to say the same damn thing. I mean what the fuck these people even here for.... we UK we had a mad minute with Gangstarr and Guru in 87.. Preemo vexed because his turntables was jumping... they was on wallpapering tables. My crew held the stage with them I'll try and dig out the pictures

    Guru's ability to paint a visual picture of where he we're in imagination and just being able to bring that of what he imagined to the front of his mind and make it come to life and make you dance to it and connect people of all cultures and ethnicities was amazing I really think that I'm a dope emcee myself but I'm not anywhere near as dope as guru and that was something I recognized when he was alive rest in heavenly beats guru😇😇😇😇😇😇😇

      Check out Skyzoo, probably the best all-around rapper thats from the new era. Noone will ever touch gangstarr but on an individual level, skyzoo has incredible talent. The next best lyricist after the previous greats have slowly started to retire or otherwise step away like biggie, nas, jay-z, big daddy kane, kool g rap, etc. Skyzoo has an amazing flow, delivery and presence on the mic like that of jay-z or big daddy kane. His rhyme schemes and patterns are on par with that of Nas or KGR, and even though he doesn't use as many multiple syllable or multiple word rhymes in his songs, he uses some mixed with some of the best wordplay/double entongras used in the game today. Another plus for him is his versatility, as Sky shines ridiculously bright on a multitude of different style songs, from bragadossis, story telling, back and forth (duo), fast-paced, slower-paced, coming of age, party-themed, abstract-based, etc.. There is not a type of song that this man cannot just thoroughly destroy...well except a garbage trap track, although he probably could but who would want to hear that kind of trash music when there's so much good music out there. Hit me up with any questions at all.
