I dont agree, this beat is so chill and smooth and lack of jnstrumental, you can rap under the beat, unlike other other beats where you try to syncronize the rhyme to the beat, here you can freestyle. I guess the technique its to rap under the beat and only upon at the ryhme of the verse. Im no expert, but do love the beat too
Guru doesn’t have to be mentioned as a top MC by commercial stations, anyone that says they follow Hip Hop and true MC’s know he’s a top lyricist. Thank You Gangstarr RIP Guru

"While they be losin the race tryin to chase mass appeal..." Did u not understand the message of the song? 😉. Definitely also recommend "Hip Hop Fury" by GZA (1999) for a similar track that makes people quiet. You'll love it! And I've been to Amsterdam. Cool city. Nice people. Very trustworthy. I'm American from Los Angeles. I remember this one cab driver I had in Holland back in 1999 put on Kool Mo Dee in his CD player when he realized I was American. The way that DJ premiere and RZA take clips of Jazz and turn it into something truly special is amazing
I am 45x and was bumping this on cassette with my Sony Walkman back in 95. Still tho, drop the old fart shit, hip hop is just evolving. Shit was real back then still real now. You just have to dig deep to find it.
See the two vids by GURU'S nephew from back then when GURU was in a coma . His nephew tells you everything about solar's involvement . GURU'S sister got worn down by him through the legal system but 4 years ago DJ Premier said she was ready to eventually see him in court again and I doubt he will prevail this time because people are tired of dealing with corrupt and evil beings

+carter lowe I hear you, theirs a lot of real cats out there but the only problem I have (with good underground rappers these day) is the computerized beats these dats, you don't get that authentic rap sound from the 80s anc 90s Era using a computer, just a mix board, but that's pretty much non existent now. I'm not trying to knock the rappers themselves and the us just my opinion.

I bumped heads with Guru at All star cafe, in Miami FL. back in 99. He was one of the most mellow and calm individuals and polite is not the word to explain him. He spoke to me like he knew me for 10 years. Rest in peace brother. You left us quick fast.
One of the illest hiphop beats ever. Top 5 for sure. Guru destroyed this. The beat was made specifically for him. You can tell how synergetic the sound is
HI AND HOW ARE YOUS NOR DIS RESPECT PLUS IM NOT TRYNA HIT ON YALL IN A WAY BUT ITS TRUE IT FEELS LIKE THIS INSTRUMENTAL BEAT WAS ESP1 ESTABLISHED FOR GURU I AGREE EVEN THOUGH IM A 23 YEAR OLD FROM SOUTH AFRICA

Gang Starr is underrated ASF, they deserved some multi million views for this clip alone and they also deserved this for most of their clips, they are the goat of the mid 90's rap
Rob Perez Thanks,this brings me back to when i was visiting the East Coast in the winter of 93-94.The scenery is the same time and place and it made me feel something from way back then.Again,thank you.
Agreed^ guru was never underrated. It's just in today's world, the millennials don't care for the past and the greats that came before. This song alone got me into real true hip hop.
+yes nonsense on point bro , but since hip hop has taken a different direction , and someone likes it fair enough their is some real artist out their but if u can't at least appreciate a iconic group in gangstar, that person' doesn't really understand true hip hop.
In my opinion one of the greatest beats ever made.
I remember searching for this beat for years man , times i would just hum the beat but couldnt place the artist lol , watched new jersey drive and heard it in the background it was slowed down but i remembered the beat and boom!
Classic NYC beat.

Yeah no doubt
not even up for debate. One of the greatest hip hop tracks in general. Top 5 minimum, if you ask me

I bumped heads with Guru at All star cafe, in Miami FL. back in 99. He was one of the most mellow and calm individuals and polite is not the word to explain him. He spoke to me like he knew me for 10 years. Rest in peace brother. You left us quick fast.
😀😀...great comment...he will be missed, no doubt.
listen to the lyrics Drake is actually what he speaks about

Premier is hands down one of the best producers to do it...
Flatt 💯
One of the illest hiphop beats ever. Top 5 for sure. Guru destroyed this. The beat was made specifically for him. You can tell how synergetic the sound is
HI AND HOW ARE YOUS NOR DIS RESPECT PLUS IM NOT TRYNA HIT ON YALL IN A WAY BUT ITS TRUE IT FEELS LIKE THIS INSTRUMENTAL BEAT WAS ESP1 ESTABLISHED FOR GURU I AGREE EVEN THOUGH IM A 23 YEAR OLD FROM SOUTH AFRICA
I was in Philly, and in the Navy when this song came out.
I so miss 'yesterday'.
It's a 3 second sample from horizon drive by Vic onJulius
@@vancelee1026 I bet y’all was jamming that hoe none stop lol
DJ premiere made all these beats for guru
I have always been a fan of Gangstarr. I always placed Guru skills up there with Rakim. No cursing yet the flow is hard af
We ain't getting hip hop beats like this anymore.
we didn't know how good we had it
Play a never-ending loop of this beat at my funeral.
"Word is bond, I go on and on
For you it's tragic, I got magic like wands"
Id never leave you brother!
LOOL.... The Beat is COLD and will never get old😁
That's awesome, lol
At my funeral, they're gonna play highway to hell by ACDC and they're about to dump me into the group, they're gonna play snoop doggs drop it like it's hot 😂
Dj premier's production is just untouchable definitely one of the greatest producer of Hip hop
No doubt about it
No doubt
O melhor da história. From 🇧🇷
And virtuoso on the 1s & 2s
THE greatest
this beat is soo fuckkinnn hard.
Guru my fav rapper of all times. Unique voice, profound lyrics. Can’t believe he’s never mentioned on regular rap media outlets. Rip
Mine too G
Because he wasn't a sell out too real for corporate America!
@@independentsistah corporate America will be the downfall of this nation
@@eugenedantzler4485 It's already started...
Cuz this music ain’t for regular people
It's 2023 and this is still a classic! Will someone enshrine this in the HipHop Hall of Fame? For real 💯
It already is to the real one's.... If you know you know

Rest guru. You deserved a champion gold record
This one will never get old! Masterpiece!
Fa sho
Never!
How is this still relevant in 2020? Because this is real hip-hop.
Absolutely true!!! Tuff to find this in Hip Hop these days. Almost like scratching n mixing is a lost art. Premo is a 1 of 1. RIP Guru.
Facts 🔥
Timeless
*If you miss that creative 90s sound then ✔ out my tracks...I specialize in making retro-style hip hop...!!!👍🏾🎤🎧📀🎶💣🔥*
i haven't slept on this song for nearly 20 years. glad to see recent comments on here
Gangstarr left their footprint on the hip hop world, their music will live forever. Nobody sounded like them.
Gang Starr is underrated ASF, they deserved some multi million views for this clip alone and they also deserved this for most of their clips, they are the goat of the mid 90's rap
R.I.P. Guru ✊🏽 Ten years today 😔
A true Masterpiece right here. Hip-Hop in it's purest form. The new generation should be taking notes
Tell em Murderface!!!
Joey Badass makes shit like this.
100% facts
💯
Doing that now . RIP guru fr fr
Can't nobody tell me this beat didn't slap,....and with Gang Starr's lyrics,....pure classick!!!!
That's ah fact pure Classic , I remember being Ah lil nigga in the streets of south bronx in the 90s bopping to this hard 🔥🔥🔥 memories 💯
R. I. P Guru. Today marks 14yrs of his passing 😔
R.I.P - such a beast
REAL HIP HOP NEVER DIES THIS IS REAL MUSIC
"A lot of rappers be like 1 time wonders, couldn't say a dope rhyme if it was 1 right under.........their noses." RIP GURU!
That's one of the best lines in Hip Hop history in my opinion
The foreshadowing was too scary to be spoken. I be damned.... it come true in today's landscape.

Your paranoid cuz your a son like Elroy
Youngster know nothing about this. GURU 🎂🕊
Bruh his voice is sooo iconic
he voiced 8ball form gta 3 and LCS
Boston accent
Sounds like method man
guru sounds like a mix of method man and inspectah deck
This video's in my old stomping ground. Bringin' it back to it's essence. R.I.P. Guru
I like the music u recommend. Pls do it more often, recommend more good music to us. Thk u. alice.
Rob Perez i always wondered exactly where this was shot,what area?,i figure Brooklyn is the borough.
Around Lorimer & Halsey Brooklyn
It looks real, it feels real, and sound real...this is classic hip hop.
Rob Perez Thanks,this brings me back to when i was visiting the East Coast in the winter of 93-94.The scenery is the same time and place and it made me feel something from way back then.Again,thank you.
So many damn underrated rappers in this world.
yup yup yup
+ReachCarter Trust this group Gangstarr was not underrated
Agreed^ guru was never underrated. It's just in today's world, the millennials don't care for the past and the greats that came before. This song alone got me into real true hip hop.
+Richard Chhom yea for real man.
+yes nonsense on point bro , but since hip hop has taken a different direction , and someone likes it fair enough their is some real artist out their but if u can't at least appreciate a iconic group in gangstar, that person' doesn't really understand true hip hop.
One of the most important rap songs of all time 🔥🔥🔥 94 baby in here 💪🏽
"I've suffered setbacks but now I'm making greenbacks'
The most inspirational line in Hip Hop.
What’s greenbacks???
