I don’t care what anybody says, this is one of the greatest hip ho tunes ever be created. It’s got the funk, soul, sound, feel, lyrics, story and moral the lot, the epitome of 90s hip hop.
yes sir!!!!.....and people get jealous too. i think thats whats going on with some of these rappers that r gettin killed......like Young Dolph n others.
Back when this song was big (still is in my book), rap still had meaning and told a story unlike today all they rap about is their dicks, pussies, and how much money they steal, complete trash like you know "Cash me outside girl" 🤦♂️😂
I heard this track by mistake a few weeks ago. I have no clue how this dude was never mentioned as one of the illest MC’s. His voice and his bars are sick. No lie he is right up there with Nas at this time and era, IMO
If you were in your teens in the late 90's on the east coast and listened to hip hop you definitelly would have known gangstar...they had some big hits that played on mainstream radio. search some of their other hits from the era like; "take it personal", "mass appeal", "dwyck"
True Crooklyn classic! that story was so relevant to the time and place, little dudes was hungry always lookin for a come up to be the next street legend. It never ends well.
Real talk Broadway junction was ot to play will Cat got rob in the junction with police downstairs. East New York Bed Stuy and Brownsville deadly combo
They are, in the hearts of the true hip hop fan. Nothing the white man can approve for hip hop has credibility. He’ll never feel the soul of a people!!!
As a 14 year old kid all I wanted to do is get a rep by robbing a chain….not by starting a family or owning a business and house but by doing something negative….and this was the thinking of 7 out of 10 people I grew up with 💯 …… the power of music 💯
Good to hear you straightened up and was flying right. I was in 22 or 23 when this joint dropped, hanging with dudes that stole at least 3 cars and motorcycles every weekend. They robbed the pancake house and jewelry store. We werecat the club one night and they all put there chains around my neck while th fought a group of other guys. I put my back against the wall cuz I was standing there looking like Slick Rick with a neck full of dookie gold chains. I finally decided to distance myself from those dudes.
This song along with the Message by GMF are 2 of the most timeless hip hop songs ever made. It was happening then and it’s still happening now. Proof the streets never change. RIP Guru🎉
I found GangStarr just a little late, but they are definitely an important part of hip-hop culture. Rest in peace Guru, your legacy is well respected. Peace.
Absolute masterpiece/masterclass of a hip-hop/rap song with a meaningful message! Guru and DJ Premier were a hip-hop/rap music dynamic duo! Memories of me as a little kid growing up into a young teenager 1990s, watching/listening to this music video of a rhythmic opus/poem on Video Music Box, Ch.31 afterschool! God bless the soul and rest in glory to the late, great; Guru! God had to add him to his ultimate music and real dude collection in heaven!
This was Elizabeth, Newark,East orange etc,, Always had to worry the SK.. He said give it up son. I turn around.. He said Ed? Damn man. You this is my phone and corner B. I was like, son just calling a cab B. Why you need a cab for. We will take you. I was like damn. Stolen van with 5 stick up kids. But you know. You had to ride back then.. Memories that some of us have. Stay bless all those that made it this far!!

Periodt❗️❗️❗️
True.
Listen to KoolG Rap & DJ Polo's "Streets Of New York" It follows the same criteria.
Agreed🙏🏾👌🏾🤘🏾
Even TODAY it's relevant.
Guru is one of the best rappers in the music history
When you hear the names Guru and Premier you pay respect
Word is born
Facts
Yes Indeed
RESPECT!
Correct. Great duo.
Skillful story telling, that is what hip hop today lacks!
THANK YOU!!
0:35 Those Patrick Ewings kicks are Sick!
said same thing
Catch the Wave Those were the da good ole dayz, I was in my early 20's.
Hard AF...good eye
And Spanish boy next to him had the white fire red 5’s too.. with the NC State hoodie on
Yea I had the black and the blue ones bitd.
Gangstar, DJ Premier actually were responsible for bringing me into Rap. Still listening in 24(71yrs old). ❤💯👊
I love it❤️
Do u make it in rap
Damn I use to listen to this on my Walkman on my way to High School 1990. R.I.P Guru 🙏🏿
Damn man so many memories!
I’m 24 years old and I’m Still listening to this kind of music till this very day. Rip guru💯 gangstarr easily one of my top 5 groups of all time
The lyrics of this song are still relevant. Timeless music.
Indeed they are homie
Loving those lyrics entirely, especially at the very end. It’s true about what he said.
yes sir!!!!.....and people get jealous too. i think thats whats going on with some of these rappers that r gettin killed......like Young Dolph n others.
In the black community it will always be relevant
Guru easily the greatest Boston born rapper.
The way Premo sampled Nice & Smooth. CLASSIC!!!
It's almost heartbreaking seeing what has happened to Rap music and the culture.
Back when this song was big (still is in my book), rap still had meaning and told a story unlike today all they rap about is their dicks, pussies, and how much money they steal, complete trash like you know "Cash me outside girl" 🤦♂️😂
No cursing sagging
It’s by design
You just have to look harder for it, but it’s there. Go listen to ROME STREETZ - Snow Beach, you might like it
yes.....true
The true art of storytelling to perfection RIP Guru and
GURU wrote this after he was robbed
you cant spell art of storytelling without slick rick
Not just this song that whole album was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Album was so fire. Guru/ gangsta was ahead of their time" 1990"
Hip Hop back then, untill 1995, was so cool and bona fide..
Miss Guru Everday!!! But His Music Lives Forever!!!R.I.P 🙏🙏
Cool 😎 song 🎵
I’d defiantly appreciate a GangStarr movie
If you were young a gunning in the 90's this was ya anthem... 💪🏽👑👍🏽🙌🏾💯🙏🏽
👑🔥🔥🔥👑
DJ Premier is a legend.
Guru lives forever.
Yes he is… and no he didn’t
Classic Brooklyn Hip Hop ......
When I was a kid I didn't notice Guru's Boston accent. When he say "park" at 1:06 I can hear it.
The Ewing’s 🔥
Story of the original 50cent!
Classic 70's 80's & 90's Hip Hop era always had a message in their music. This new generation have no clue what it takes to be a real Lyricists.
Effortless bomb-ass beats. Guru dropping science like it was easy or something!
Dj premier turntable artist
This rap speaks volumes, pay attention to the lyrics. What he rapping about is what happened to Nipsey Hussle.
Maybe now, some of these guys know how dangerous it is, of trying to take what isn’t yours. What people do to others, is gonna be done to them.
This couldn’t be reenacted as 1990 today.
Everything is 1990, it’s amazing
I heard this track by mistake a few weeks ago. I have no clue how this dude was never mentioned as one of the illest MC’s. His voice and his bars are sick. No lie he is right up there with Nas at this time and era, IMO

That’s Gangsta , they made on off the best album off the 90s
Because the whitewashing of Hip Hop puts Eminem before REAL
Honestly most true Hip Hop heads definitely have him as one of the best to do it.
Guru is at the top of the underrated list
Golden era of Hip Hop💯
Hebrews 12:14
Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:
Without a doubt one of the best hip hop songs ever made
Sure is and biggie sampled this for gimmie the loot
👍 it's the part where he says "while he stickin you takin all your money"
Mo bee sampled it for big
Fact
Facts 💯
True Crooklyn classic! that story was so relevant to the time and place, little dudes was hungry always lookin for a come up to be the next street legend. It never ends well.
Straight from Brooklyn also known as crooklyn
Real talk Broadway junction was ot to play will Cat got rob in the junction with police downstairs. East New York Bed Stuy and Brownsville deadly combo
Premo is from Houston, Texas and Guru is from Roxbury, Massachusetts though
Around that time in NYC, A LOT of muggings (many turned up fatal casualties)...NOTORIOUS 80S AND 90S...
Some brothers gotta go out just to get a rep!!!
Story telling era in hip hop
One of the best beats in hip-hop. Big up to Premo, TEXAS' own!
Incredibly talented area regarding hiphop through times. Six Two, The D.O.C. Premo and others. Mad props
They deserve to be in Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame
They are, in the hearts of the true hip hop fan. Nothing the white man can approve for hip hop has credibility. He’ll never feel the soul of a people!!!
Couldn't wait to see this video after school...B Girl for life.
No matter who you are you can be touched. 💯
RIP GURU AND JEAN JACQUES PERREY 🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊
"Classic ".. ... (NUFF SAID) 🔥 🔥 🔥 🎉 1❤
This is real music
This beat has never been replicated. That siren sound all through the best made it so ill
"Brothers are amused by others brothers reps
But the thing they know best is where the gun is kept..."
THIS WHAT WE CALL REAL RAPP MUSIC
Indeed
Raising kanan brought me here. 💥🔥🔥🔥🔥#BANGER
Miss the 90s,if I’d knew the world would turn out like this I wouldn’t have left it
That's dark
The game doesn't change only the playas
Music these days are still good
Can we take a vacation back to the 90s? I will be glad to give up my cell and the interent.
JUST to get a rep 🎶
4-17-24 We need videos like these . If not, it is up to me and you to pass it on to the youth. Gangstarr is underrated. 💯 😊 😎 🎶 🎯
Wooo them Patrick Ewings!
As a 14 year old kid all I wanted to do is get a rep by robbing a chain….not by starting a family or owning a business and house but by doing something negative….and this was the thinking of 7 out of 10 people I grew up with 💯 …… the power of music 💯

One of the greatest classics ever
Did Vevo begin to publish this kind of good old school stuff just to get a rep??
Haha
"old school"??
STRAIGHT up classic 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I found GangStarr just a little late, but they are definitely an important part of hip-hop culture. Rest in peace Guru, your legacy is well respected. Peace.
2021 and you say "just a little"? lol just kidding its never too late for timeless music!
Premo brought me here. Now the song is even more hotter because he confirmed it’s a true story. These guys were dope!
Priemer is the best DJ of all time
Demetrius Trotman, Nah dude, Nobody does it like Primo. 🙃
@Demetrius Trotman How could you even compare Premo to Jazzy Jeff. Jazzy Jeff couldn't see Premo with a telescopic lens.
Hes up there alongside RZA and Dre dor sure
HAPPY 50TH HIP HOP 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thrasher skate and destroy psx brought me here. Best hip-hop soundtrack from a game!!
