This beat is amazing. I remember the song from when I was a kid and I suddenly heard it on my pandora. It was like being thrown back in time. This song, this beat especially, makes me feel an intense sense of nostalgia. I love this.
premo is the pinnacle, rare individual, who makes more beats than vegitables speaks through music and fuses jazz with syllables, of hip hop and slip off the rip off music scene with drum machines he's a savior of production keepin real since the days of the dutch and the fuckin' them up so keep bangin' premo, leave em hangin premo, don't stop till you drop and keep slangin premo. -age 13
Premier is still one of the top 3 (maybe even two) to ever produce. The creativity, the sampling, the scratch, you just can't compare. Even though many of early Jeru's tracks rival for number one IMO, this still sits at the top for Premier's finest of all time. 💯🔥

"i self, lord, and master should bring disaster to evil factors, demonic chapters shall be captured by kings" - Guru deserves way more respect. It baffles me that he never gets mentioned in the Goats conversation
Life is just dust an ashes, when two forces duality clashes, fucking with the titan that walk above the masses, up into the sky where the gods reside, their nowhere to hide when we saddle up and ride, until we die, together forever, were two emcees that are heavyweight and feather, were contenders never pretenders, and will rock shows like Gibsons or Fenders, but never with guitars, just an M-I-C that we rip apart, grab its heart take a bite like a shark.
this comment section is so DOPE theres a lot of sick material been written by people being inspired by this beat. it grabs your imagination it made me think that hip hop is built like your grid system and so i tried to convey that below 👊 peace from uk

PREEMO
No Doubt.
The highest amount of agreement claims itself towards you.

I don't know why, but every time i listen to this beat, it sends chills down my spine
The way this beat breathes 🔥
I can hear Guru's voice just by the instrumental
I hear Guru and Inspectah Deck's verses in their entirety loud and clear in my head. One of my favorite verses from both of them.
yessssir
@anthonytruman Ah ah ah ah
This instrumental is ahead of its time...
Nah it’s just timeless
One of his best produced track ever

Premier is still one of the top 3 (maybe even two) to ever produce. The creativity, the sampling, the scratch, you just can't compare. Even though many of early Jeru's tracks rival for number one IMO, this still sits at the top for Premier's finest of all time. 💯🔥

Human spiritual enlightenment. A complex movement of subtle steps, interrupted by violent threats coupled with menacing acts. Best described as a means to divide and displace any knowledge based case valuable to the human race. Progress is slow cause we carry the young and old, underdogs by default, fathers and sons still choose to uphold. A warrior a leader, a teacher and a healer. Your parts to play and with your soul you will pay or collect in respect to your test manifest.
Your mind is blessed
Ingenious
Truth.. knowledge and understanding!
Above the clouds. Above the clouds, where the sounds are original. R.I.P. Guru.
[Intro]
"It has come to our attention
That a mysterious force is loose somewhere in outer space"
"The mysteries of creation are there"
"Up in the sky?" "Up in the sky"
"The moon and the planets are there
And new hopes for knowledge and peace are there
And therefore, as we set sail, we ask God's blessing
On the most hazardous and dangerous
And greatest adventure on which man has ever embarked"
"Prepared for lift off"
[Verse 1: Guru]
I Self Lord and Master shall bring disaster to evil factors
Demonic chapters shall be captured by Kings
Through the storms of days after
Unto the Earth from the Sun through triple darkness to blast ya
With a force that can't be compared
To any firepower, for it's mind power shared
The brainwave causes vessels to circulate
Like constellations reflect at night off the lake
Word to the Father and Mother Earth
Seekin' everlastin' life through this Hell for what it's worth
Look, listen and observe
And watch another C-Cipher pullin' my peeps to the curb
Heed the words, it's like ghetto style proverbs
The righteous pay a sacrifice to get what they deserve
Cannot afford to be confined to a cell
Brainwaves swell, turnin' a desert to a well
Experience the best teacher
Thoughts will spray like street sweepers
Little Daddy street preacher
Illustrious feature, narrator you select
Accompanied by Deck, plus the DJ you respect
The seven and a half combined, over the front line
The ten-percenters promotin' slander in the airtime
Bear in mind, jewels be the tools of the trade
Sharp blades, heavenly praise and dues are paid
[Hook: Guru]
Above the crowds, above the clouds
Where the sounds are original
Infinite skills create miracles
Warrior spiritual
Above the clouds, rainin' down, holdin' it down
[Verse 2: Inspectah Deck]
Yeah, I leave scientists mentally scarred, triple extra large
Wild like rock stars who smash guitars
Poison bars from the Gods bust holes in your mirage
And catch a charge, shake 'em down like the riot squad
Invade your zone, ruin like Ancient Rome
I span the universe and return to Earth to claim my throne
The maker, owner, plus soul controller
Ayatollah rest in the sky, the cloud's my sofa
Stand like Colossus, regardless to whom or what
Numerous attempts on my life, so who to trust?
Who but us to supply ya with the fire?
The burnin' truth, 150 Absolut proof
On the mic like Moses spoke in golden scribe
Survivor of the oldest tribe whose soldiers died
I notified families, we shed tears and mourn
But our hands are on the ammo 'cause the battle still on
Sound the horn, we come rumblin' through the function
Precise laser beam technique to touch somethin'
When we die hard, they'll build a monument to honor us with
Humongous effect in the world, we could've conquered it
[Hook x2: Guru]
Above the crowds, above the clouds
Where the sounds are original
Infinite skills create miracles
Warrior spiritual
Above the clouds, rainin' down, holdin' it down
BEN THA DRAGON goodlooking
SUPER fire 🔥🚒
New hopes for knowledge and peace are there :)
JFK
DJ Premier should be in the top 10 DJ's of all time, same with Guru when it comes to rapping.
Gangstarr 4 lyfe.
"i self, lord, and master should bring disaster to evil factors, demonic chapters shall be captured by kings" - Guru deserves way more respect. It baffles me that he never gets mentioned in the Goats conversation
Nice rhymes Germ !!!
Spittin' on the illest instrumental of all time
Every instrument in this beat spit bars
This is a masterpiece

Life is just dust an ashes, when two forces duality clashes, fucking with the titan that walk above the masses, up into the sky where the gods reside, their nowhere to hide when we saddle up and ride, until we die, together forever, were two emcees that are heavyweight and feather, were contenders never pretenders, and will rock shows like Gibsons or Fenders, but never with guitars, just an M-I-C that we rip apart, grab its heart take a bite like a shark.

Timeless classic
Sometimes at parties after most people have left, I play Hip-Hop like this and people immeidiately ask "wtf is this", my respond of course is "real Hip-Hop!"
Alex no one asks wtf is this and you know it

Indeed... gotta keep that alive

Above the clouds with divine spirit entities
Infinite intelligence representing my energy heavenly

Evaluating the risk
Of these bitch ass rappers imitating my kid
My discipline is listening
Supreme magnificence
Don't feel like normal mortal men
Meditating got me levitating,

Honestly........as an MC Myself I feel like GURU and INS heard dat track and went straight BONKERZ in the Lab......Whoa!!!!!!!
no hesitance to dangerous situations,
plus sentiment towards objectives which became objections,
putting a kid on a journey to become a man, rectify in glory what he understands,
philosopher wise with mind powers raw in his hands,
envision a real event to put in place and set amends in a world awful full o evil-
the level of next days still workin its way up the ladder of success, to the best,
of course put any of hells to rest, a soldier wit the crest,
Whosoever shall call upon the name of JESUS shall be saved.
That was the most important statement on youtube. Keep spreading the word brother.
Most definitely brother!
Truth brother!!
steven pueblo
+Robert Whatley
but I don't blame him for the bad,
his benevolents was rad,
To worship human? That raised a flag😕
He's god? or it's his dad?😕
He was a human no more than that,
Shit... The nigga probably even had a bully named Chad,
wanted p***y more than just a tad,
And something I might add
Judis snitched and he got nabbed
Tourted bound and gagged
For claiming power he never had
He was able to get stabbed,
His wound would heal like mine and yours, and yes... it would also scab
had lazy days where he would lag
And what really makes me mad
I was talking with this lad,
Who's Christian mind is rigged & jagged
He said it's my choice to go to hell but worship human, and I'll be glad...😕😕
Christans uh-📌 and like to brag
And their tails they always wagg
Im a sinner Cause i dabb?😂
To spit this flow I need no pad
I simply "lib" without the "ad"
I like a Christians who takes a jab
And Rush in like he was Vlad
Walk With Jesus? I'll take a cab
Becacause this Jesus crap? Koop don't drag
Listen to Koopa High - Spiritual Warfare Pt.2 by Koopa High #np on #SoundCloud
soundcloud.com/koopa-high/koopa-high-spiritual-warfare
Simetimes the best thing about a beat is no bass.
audiohope if DJ premiere is producing it then yeah
There is a bass there, but this is not an official instrumental - just a looped part from the end of the song without any bass. Listen to the original song and there are 2 bass notes coming in at the beginning of the loop now and then,
but I agree with you. Preemo showed a lo of beat makers that bass isn't always needed to make a dope beat.
the actual song has a bassline though. This is a loop
If this had a bass line.......................
I am the life & the resurrection
White lights, bright shine on my direction
Recollectin, Reminiscin on what I've been missin
Use to feel distant till I felt god within
Cut da tension wit a knife, errybody wants a slice, ayy, to whet they appetites
Christ like on da mic this is my ascension
Fifth dimension, I flip the script wit my intention
Reverends are just "this" heavens henchman
stay true to the hip hop
dont stop
as i rise to the top
goin for the cash crop
most emcees do it for the fame
i do it to feed my fam
aint the same
remember the name
mad c
ayo...uh, uh,
Turn my headphones up
Turn them shits up
I'm serious nigga turn them shits up
I can't hear out my left ear
PabloCruise91 DAVE CHAPPELLE!! 🤣🤣‼️💯
ARUMP PUM PUM! ARUM PUM TING! ARUMPUM STING

Many stories n endless futures n all u gotta do is listen
"Sound the horn. Coz the battle still On! "
One of preemo’s best beats
If you hear the record he got the sample from and just understood how he flipped it Primo is definitely a genius
Guru and Deck both fucking slay this beat.
First time I heard Above the Clouds, me and my cousin was High as fuck!!! Decks jump of almost made us wreck!!!!!! 👍🏾 Thats when you know you’ve been hit by a REAL MC!!!!
Sampling has never been the same since this era. We truly lost an art form.
Thanks to the 423 Hz this shi Will be leggendary
so fucking epic. nice piece of work.
Preemo ❤
Gang Starr forever
0:25 great song 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥☠️☠️🐶☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️🥷🥷🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
