- This was a VHS Promo sent out by Chrysalis Records at the time the legendary Hip Hop group, Gang Starr was getting ready to release their 2nd album, "Step In The Arena" (Released 1/15/91)
This video tape has been sitting in a box in my studio for years..I've always wanted to share it with Hip Hop fans who may have never had a chance to see it. It includes rare footage of Dj Premier & Guru in the studio working on their album and also a rare interview.
Big, big respect to my friend DJ Premier.

A decade of hits that will last forever

Guru is like that uncle in your family that's so cool, you just gravitate towards him cause he always got a story.
That's what made me a fan lol
Preem looks like he's 15 lol
+Angel Vidal "and i make the ehhhh beats"
+flee hops ! haahahaha awkward teen stage
yeh. and he sounds nervous
loool right he looks mad young
'I made the beats..' said he
This is classic footage. GangStarr forever. Much Respect +Tampa Hip Hop on this one.
“Some try to be down just cuz it’s trendy others fall victim to envy, but I’ll take the road less traveled so I can see all my hopes and dreams unravel” gurus wisdom lives on endlessly. Rest in power king 💚
Never seen this love it
One of the best groups in hip hop period R.I.P. Guru
Step In the Arena! The only album I ever bought on record, cassette tape, CD, and digital download! One of my top 5 albums of all time, thanks for sharing!!! RIP Gifted Unlimited Rhymes Universal
Simply epic. You preserve the history of the pioneers. Whoever you are, God bles you.
In my TOP 5. RIP! Gotta get the HITS up on this one! Damn, almost 3 years gone. My fav GURU quote is "Know how to tell a THIEF from an HONEST MAN"
lol premo look mad young ! Classic Footage
Yo I see that akai MPC 60ii and the akai s950 in the back. Premo been using that same beat making setup for over 25 years. They look mad young, im glad i saw this piece of history from 1990. Much love and long live real hip hop music.
I peeped that too but Preem has said many times that he didn't start using the 60 until the Daily Operation album
That was not his plus he used the mark 2 model first
That’s the 60 mk 1
thx for puttin this gold material out
s/o and love to keep real hip hop alive!
Valentin Pages appreciate the love...
This is the raw material I love the most. R.I.P. GURU
Nostalgia at it's best!! Great upload! R.I.P. Guru
4:22 Lil Dap from Group Home
premo sounds nervous😦
he´s high xD
Silly Billy Chitty Chann he was because he was shy doing interviews
It's cool to be shy, too.
Young and shy, compare him today with this and it's like two different people lol.
DAMN IMMA WATCH THAT OVER AGAIN! BIG UP FOR THE POST!
GANGSTARR FOR LIFE!
RIP GURU
ONE OF THE BEST YET!!!
REST EASY GURU!
I love this. Hip hop was my life back in 90 as a young 12 yr white kid. Gang Starr became one of my favorite groups after hearing Manifest, Jazz thing and Step in The Arena. Incredible music. RIP Guru-thank you so much
R.I.P. Guru! Gangstarr Forever! Saw Chub Rock sporting that Spurs cap lol Go Spurs Go!
I remember when these were new albums. My favorite hip hop duo of all time. That truly was the best ERA of Hip Hop the mid to late '80s and the '90s. .
Gang Starr FOREVER!!
It's incredible how much Premo's voice has changed and how shy he looks.
I still remember the day it was released in England on a Tuesday cos I even booked the afternoon off work so I could collect it from the record store..Great times and memories
One of my favorite Hip Hop groups of all time
r.i.p guru
if guru was still alive maybe a new Gangstarr album would have been out
One of the best yet ?
It's already out GEE!!!
:)
Probably not unfortunately, they broke up in the early 2000's after releasing their last album The Ownerz. Guru went his own way and started working with Solar (a horrible choice if you ask me) and that's what he did until he passed away in 2010.
1991 was a powerful year in hip hop so many dope LP'S I remember hearing the first time step in the arena I was an amazing project 90s hip hop 4 ever
So glad i clicked on this, great upload. RIP
Premier look so young haha. Props for uploading!
Gang Starr forever baby!!
Long live Gangstarr. R.I.P Guru the impact Gangstarr made will be felt forever. My all time favorite group of all times.
Incredible post, Fam. Respect...
They don't make em like that anymore
Premo is so skinny here :D
I was raised on the Chain and the Starr and they are my foundation in my music productions no matter what genre Im doing, Gang Starr is at the root.
Instant classic! R.I.P Guru you are one of the greatest to ever do it!
This is dope. Thanks for posting
This is so fucking dope!
Great video. Premo looks high as hell when he first talks lol.
Step in the area was my favorite album from them
then daily operation the moment of truth then no more Mr nice guy
It's *_*Arena_** , not area.
All fire albums 🔥🔥
Mannnn, much respect for uploading this. This is Hip Hop history right here. I even peeped the s950 and mpc60 in the background at the end of the video. Weird to see Preem so skinny, but still have that same raspy voice.
This footage of the legendary gangstarr is absolutely fantastic. Today's so called hip-hop makes me sick.....also sad to know that most of today's artist's can't even tell you who Gangstarr is.....I just shake my head...
gang starr real hip hop over a decade of hits that will live forever!!!
emcees are the showmen, dj producers are usually the shy type who spend all their time in their bedroom/studio, i can't get over how young primo looks lol
Thats not how it used to be orignally though. DJs were hyping up the crowd back in the day on a regular basis. It was part of the profession interacting with the crowd talking to them etc.
Damn Premo looked young asf!!!!!!
"Im the dj premier and i make the beats" 😂😂💀💀💀💀
Rap In Peace MC G.U.R.U.
Just thank you for posting this. I just could not listen enough to this album as a teen and the lyrics are forever etched in mind. I just knew they were going to have a solid career. The other day, my brother and I compared our top 10 Gangstarr tracks and our lists were quite different. That speaks to the depth of their catalog of music. And to be honest, I can’t even make a top 10 list with a duo of this caliber. More like a top 50 and even then I’d be leaving out some high quality tracks.
Thank you for what has made my mind set , every song was a different vibe in my life
The song between 3:25 - 3:34 is called "The Meaning Of The Name".
AMAZING footage! THX u SOOOO MUCH for the time & effort u put into this upload!
RIP GURU, GIFTED, UNLIMITED, RHYMES, UNIVERSAL! 2022
History in the making, AMAZING footy. R.I.P. GURU thanks for the music.
Thank you for this man.
This, right here, is why i love hiphop. When i hear the radio, and the social convention when it comes to hiphop slang, i forget sometimes.
This is amazing
Legendary band RIP Guru we miss you !!
THANK YOU sincerely for sharing this with the world! without people like you, the internet would be a boring place. 'Like', 'Add to Favourites', etc. doesn't do justice to quite how brilliant it is to see this og footage. Best video I've seen on youtube forever...!

Love this old footage
You can tell how uncomfortable Preemo was in the begining with the camera. 😂
Word. There’s a huge difference between how he was in front of the camera then and how he is now. He’s grown way more comfortable in front of the camera over the years.
Best Hip Hop group ever
Yes!!
this is the youngest you will see guru! he was like 30 right here... RIP LEGEND!
Great capsule piece. Respect.
I am the DJ .... PREMIER .. i ehm make the beats
