There are so many artists out there who record this classic hip-hop. Just take a moment to look outside the mainstream media. Exactly like in the golden era.
hiiipower iii Kendrick no doubt....but let the rest live a little and grow...undeniable that they’re all incredible...but they’re all still coming into their peak I feel.
Hell no!!!!!! that's not his sound. Just listen to his verse in this song. It doesn't even flow well. He is flowing like he does nowadays in his albums.
When J. Cole said, "Go live a little, let the years pass Experience pain, watch the tears crash on to the floor Hurt brings wisdom Wisdom brings a whole 'nother sort of understandin'" I felt that 🤞🪖🔥
Do it! It's time to enrich the hood... Everyone visits different areas except the hood... I'm waiting the day for the"hood" to be a place that's the hot spot.
Take care of the little ones in your community and they will see your vision(s) and carry out your dreams for you. Let them know there's people like you who balance out the negativity in the world. Keep on pushin!
I'm a 40 year old dad..who watched guru on the BOX...back in the day... now I have a 20 year old son...and I'm blessed to be able to pass the God Guru music on to a new generation.... I watched this video with my son...and could not hold back the tears 😢...(pause)... good to see guru son in video...salute to the young boy Jay Cole....great way to connect the generations....salute to premiere...continue the good work my brother... another CLASSIC on deck... RIP Guru
About to be 40 myself bro, God willing. We definitely grew up during the best era of Hip hop & R&B. It ain't the same no more but at least we lived through it. 💯
im so glad to hear you say that. hip hop from the 80s and 90s is a lifeline STILL to many of us! show people the classics... they should get to experience the same feelings we did back then hearing music for the first time. :)
I wish that was true but only a handful of artist actually can make music like this and make it sound good in 2019....even some of the greats are just going with the flow and making garbage just to try and fit in with today's music instead of new classic material like this. R.I.P. Guru, Preemo nasty as always, J Cole blessed this track and continues being one of the chosen few🙏
Really resonated with that line man. Cole's a gem (guess you can say a diamond lol) in today's industry, it's only fitting he was the one they chose to honor Guru's legacy on this track.
I thought I was the only one. As soon as I saw him with his lady and son I lost it. I miss this guy, his gifts unlimited and rhymes universal and his presence in an industry that desperately needs him.
"To the OGs, I'm thankin' you now Was watchin' you when you was pavin' the ground I copied your cadence, I mirrored your style I studied the greats, I'm the greatest right now" This is the first tought that came to mind the first time I heard this song.
J Cole’s verse is good in this but it just reinforces how epic Guru was… His verses are so accessible. The way he annunciates, the rhyme scheme. It’s all so dope
it kinda just, lost itself. to the point where stupid youtubers were abusing it. But the feel good aspect of REAL Hip-Hop never went anywhere...just hid underground
@@Lynxchillin08 well not sure about the others but I still listen to lots of Old School Rap & Hip-hop myself. Not a week goes by without at least one Gang Starr track being played at some point :)
Guess what!? today is October the 3rd, 2019. EXACTLY 30 YEARS AGO, MC Lyte made a song, with that sample in it, _"Like a Freshly Cut Diamond"_ ... and this video came out exactly 30 years after October the 3rd, 1989..... Nice one Premo!
I don’t know how many times I’ve heard this song and I still get the chills. Even tho Hip Hop has evolved and I’m ok with that. This to me is the sound of Hip Hop.
Hell yeah, this boom bap, sample production has always been my favorite. I feel like these beats allow you to use new types of flows and rap at a slower pace which allows you to tell stories. I absolutely love that.
“I hope to heal the destitute before I leave this vestibule Between the heavens and the seven circles Where some dead homies maybe rest, I plan to resurrect a few”🤯🤯
TJisBORED I think his verse should be looked back on one of the ones that solidified his place in hip-hop. It’s an art to blend lyricism and messaging.

This is already a classic. Much respect Guru, Preme and Cole. I’ve been getting roasted for liking Cole on this track, older hip hop heads saying they’re only here for Guru and I get that. Preme himself wanted a younger artist on it, he said either Drake Kendrick or Cole and he said Cole fit the best. Cole is one of the realest in the game right now, I’m a “hip hop head” myself but I don’t see how you can’t appreciate Kendrick and Cole just because they’re younger.
All 3 of them earned my respect way before they got popular. I'm thankful for them keeping it alive now my ogs are back to help. Not the biggest fan of the latest but nevertheless the less I'm still a fan i don't just drop em like others do
@@ericdemby4644 Joey has always been like the black sheep amongst them. I believe he can out rhyme them but one thing he lacks is swag which i don't care about but everyone I've tried to push joey onto just doesn't vibe with them. I don't know if it's he's too lyrical or his islander like voice that does it. All-Amerikkkan-Bada$$ album was my favorite! Wish people would of listen to that!
Blew my mind when I heard we were getting a new Gangstarr album in 2019, and was wicked excited to hear about the J. Cole feature. Still didn't expect it to be this good. This is like an instant classic, somehow it sounds like all their other songs from back in the day, like it will transport you back to the past, but it's also timeless. Song of the year.
Warms my fucking heart to hear some real hip-hop in 2019. Crazy I was literally just saying guru was my favorite rapper, so imagine my surprise when I saw this in my suggested column...
@@DiceB Yo fam I'm trying not to let my coworkers see me tear up watching this. R.I.P. Guru and peace to you and yours. Gonna have to listen to some Griselda now to get my work face back on lol.
@@VarsityAthlete04 The whole video is about paying homage to Guru who passed away, and he sings the hook on this song. That's why J.Cole says that bar which is straight fire.
I'm emotional listening to this. This took me back to a time when I felt like Hip Hop was flooded with an extreme level of genius, collaboration and competitiveness that made the genre perfect. Artists were hungry to be legendary. There was a supreme pride in lyrics, delivery and production to deliver a product that was sonically unique. Meanwhile it connected with everyone on every block. Folks today who don't know Hip Hop don't understand what it was like to have about 2 dozen artists that would give you Hall of Fame type material and performances within a single year. Though they were competitive, they were intelligent, genuine and humble enough to marvel in each other's success. That is how we got incredible collaborations like this one here. J. Cole had to deliver a legendary verse spitting amongst one of the Gods of the game! #RIPGURU I still love Hip Hop. It continues to feed me and heal me. Thanks DJ Premier for bringing us another masterpiece!
Amen 100% on everything you said ... real hip hop is our language ... From its rap roots.. To break dancing.. To bombin... To MCing ... (If hip hop ever went by another name it would be called "PREEMO") one love an respect my Brother in Hip Hop ... May We always be connected together all of us of all shades an colors an creeds from every corner of the world
This is what Hip-Hop sounds like!!! Knowledge, Wisdom, Understanding! Gangstarr is a precious jewel in this beautiful culture, peace + love. positivity and kindness are the new wave for the world to share!!!
What does #FamilyAndLoyalty mean to you?
It means LOVE!!
Only real things in a fake world 👌
Family is loyalty. 🙏🙏🙏
All 4 me....Guru Say this....The Family is First
🙌🏻
Hearing GURU’s voice on a PREEMO’s beat in 2019... Can’t describe this feeling !
#RIPGuru
You're absolutely right!!!! Indescribable feeling
I'm sayin. This got me feeling some type of way. Never thought I'd hear a new Guru verse.
This song makes me sad and fuckin happy at the same time
He still here
sheevers all over my DAMN SKIN

Fink Ployd You need your ears checked if you think Cole's verse didn't flow.
@Expensive Talk You've never listened to Gangstarr. That new flow from Jcole is trash and generic.

Hurt brings wisdom

@@sulti90 logic really got the whole wu tang squad on his record not only the title bro , do your research man
Why is this song making me cry? Maybe because I'm a longtime Gangstarr fan, and Jcole is my current favorite rapper. Damn this shit is amazing!
I think this guy could bring 90's hiphop back ua-cam.com/video/I-7PuSxuNec/v-deo.html
Same here man. This shit is just beautiful... like a diamond.
It’s been 2 months I’ve been listening to him too , and this made me cry too bruh. It feels good to cry to this type of art
@@fohduhskreets8301 Why would i want 90s rap back? Just give me quality content...
You done did just answered your own question
Real Hip Hop!
"Diamonds are forever like family and loyalty
Or real rap songs like C.R.E.A.M. or My Melody"
Damn.
Mokilok9 Inspectah Deck dropped sick verses on C.R.E.A.M and he dropped a sick verse on Above The Clouds with Gang Starr.
The track is a classic and most importantly what's your favourite song from gangstarr?
@@jayden8636 YES "Above the clouds" is legendary and what's your favourite song from gangstarr?
@@grezzer1427 my favorite song from gangstarr is All4da cash or this one
@Pablo C so true, Gangstarr has many classics and bangers, I was listening to weed scented, you heard it? It's so sick 🔥
Can't believe it's 2019 and this song would have fit perfectly with the Moment of Truth album.
Definitely💯 my favorite album by them
DITO
When he said "Diamonds are like my wifey, so sweet the way she spoils me" I felt that
are you a newly wed?
I felt that too
Brings tears to my eyes♥️
Chance The Rapper came when he heard that line
Cole beyond gifted.
This is already a classic. Much respect Guru, Preme and Cole. I’ve been getting roasted for liking Cole on this track, older hip hop heads saying they’re only here for Guru and I get that. Preme himself wanted a younger artist on it, he said either Drake Kendrick or Cole and he said Cole fit the best. Cole is one of the realest in the game right now, I’m a “hip hop head” myself but I don’t see how you can’t appreciate Kendrick and Cole just because they’re younger.
Can't agree with you more.
stevielikesdick yeah utmost respect for younger catz for recognising and representing a legend G.U.R.U that's peace
All 3 of them earned my respect way before they got popular. I'm thankful for them keeping it alive now my ogs are back to help.
Not the biggest fan of the latest but nevertheless the less I'm still a fan i don't just drop em like others do
Cole n kendrick are good but joey badass would have been good too.
@@ericdemby4644 Joey has always been like the black sheep amongst them. I believe he can out rhyme them but one thing he lacks is swag which i don't care about but everyone I've tried to push joey onto just doesn't vibe with them.
I don't know if it's he's too lyrical or his islander like voice that does it.
All-Amerikkkan-Bada$$ album was my favorite! Wish people would of listen to that!
I almost cried when I heard Guru in 2019. 😭😢🙏🏽💯
I did cry
Same
I shed a tear, not gonna lie.
Me too
Premier and guru in 2019?! Feels like I'm in another reality. 💯 Long Live Guru. 🙏🏽

This beat brings tears to my eyes. Just perfect.

Thanks Tom.
Lol that time of the month?!?
BluntforceJ zachbox?
Are you gay?
Blew my mind when I heard we were getting a new Gangstarr album in 2019, and was wicked excited to hear about the J. Cole feature. Still didn't expect it to be this good. This is like an instant classic, somehow it sounds like all their other songs from back in the day, like it will transport you back to the past, but it's also timeless. Song of the year.
What's your Sr tho
@@tyeyop6838 came to this video directly after watching completely unrelated OW content. Thought I was tripping for a sec
Warms my fucking heart to hear some real hip-hop in 2019. Crazy I was literally just saying guru was my favorite rapper, so imagine my surprise when I saw this in my suggested column...
jerrodkilla23 same here 💜 They r my fav duo & I was just saying we need new songs like theirs... It’s like we wished into existence 👏👏👏
Aye still feels unreal to hear a new Gang Starr Joint in 2019. Makes me realize how much I actually miss Guru man. RIP!

"Diamonds are forever like family and loyalty
Or real rap songs like C.R.E.A.M. or My Melody"
Guru is Dragon!!!
Literally one of the most underrated bars ever IMO!!! Wu tang forever 👐

@@devotheambivert9875 🙏
May your memory be Blessed ... "Guru" Rest In Power.
R.I.P. Guru. Definitely one of the greatest lyricist to ever pickup a mic.
It’s the voice, the wisdom, the knowledge.. He really was one of a kind.. God Bless his spirit :)
"J.cole who woulda thought that you'd be rhyming with ghosts" 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yeah but kinda random
Kick in the Door nah it’s relevant to his verse listen to 3:20
@@VarsityAthlete04 The whole video is about paying homage to Guru who passed away, and he sings the hook on this song. That's why J.Cole says that bar which is straight fire.
@@rickperez8975 Im not talking about the line, what is J Cole doing in this song? They read Guru's testament and J Cole is there?
@@VarsityAthlete04 maybe because they respect him and hes cool with them so they chose to include him in this tribute video?
i think i cried when i heard guru's voice on such a reminiscent beat 😭
I too wasn't ready...
I'm emotional listening to this. This took me back to a time when I felt like Hip Hop was flooded with an extreme level of genius, collaboration and competitiveness that made the genre perfect. Artists were hungry to be legendary. There was a supreme pride in lyrics, delivery and production to deliver a product that was sonically unique. Meanwhile it connected with everyone on every block.
Folks today who don't know Hip Hop don't understand what it was like to have about 2 dozen artists that would give you Hall of Fame type material and performances within a single year. Though they were competitive, they were intelligent, genuine and humble enough to marvel in each other's success. That is how we got incredible collaborations like this one here. J. Cole had to deliver a legendary verse spitting amongst one of the Gods of the game! #RIPGURU
I still love Hip Hop. It continues to feed me and heal me. Thanks DJ Premier for bringing us another masterpiece!
💯
Amen 100% on everything you said ... real hip hop is our language ... From its rap roots.. To break dancing.. To bombin... To MCing ... (If hip hop ever went by another name it would be called "PREEMO") one love an respect my Brother in Hip Hop ... May We always be connected together all of us of all shades an colors an creeds from every corner of the world
Wow man you couldn't have said it any better! Respect!💯💯
I feel you bro, so we are a hip hop family
AMEN bro FORREAL
Hearing Guru's voice always feels like home... I will forever miss him.
Word is born
This is what Hip-Hop sounds like!!!
Knowledge, Wisdom, Understanding!
Gangstarr is a precious jewel in this beautiful culture, peace + love.
positivity and kindness are the new wave for the world to share!!!
💯
It's a legendary track and positivity is key and have you heard above the clouds
rip to a god, cole did his thing too
GangStarr was the purest form of Hip-Hop.
** is the purest
