[marino4691]

@Sidom9 dude, youre alright?

[ShakeGet]

HOW DOES SOMEONE CREATE A SONG LIKE THIS. Amazing. I hope I can create something this good someday. Someday.

[KitchenerBombSquad]

notice how gang starr tracks never have ads? thas what im sayinnn, i was on another tab listening to some shit, and i hear this ad of some mexican boy band, the ad was like a minute long, may aswell of been a full song, i wanted to punch out my ear drums for real

[AtomicHephaestus]

I Self Lord And Master (ISLAM) shall bring disaster to evil factors... real talk.

[ImBordCanYouTell]

The lyrical meaning to this song is amazing. Its about religion and how blind we are that we cant see the truth. The archetypes hes uses in this song are just amazing.

[916jake]

Props 2 Dj premier Best instrumentals of The 90s

[boabbyrocks]

Wu Tang the greatest thing to happen to hip hop

[bkallday1976]

This track is ridiculous. No rapper is fucking with these bars..

[redconspcy31]

i know a marius from romania, was my drummer in the band The Red Conspiracy

[redconspcy31]

[Munecoshh1]

Gurus voice flows perfect with this beat!!!

Love this track!!!!

[HellhoundCMX]

dope chinese beat

[ad34bballin]

Gangstarr should go down forever in hip hop/rap history. They'd put young money into the ground.

[KillahBill187]

RIP guru u could rap fuk tha fakaz

[seb92ify]

I came to the world with the shits of 2000's but when I started listening to GangStarr I fucked up my shitty songs library and came with this real Hip-Hop :D

[bouseski]

I think Guru and Premo wanted to create a track where you can imagine yourself in a dream and in a place like above the clouds.

I think there is no curse words because Guru wanted to put you in this dream, and not make this sound like a normal rap song with fuck, bitch, nigga, etc.

My point of view.

[b00mhauer]

"Brainwaves swell, turning a desert to a well."

For some reason that line really made an impact on me.

[MrGuess28]

The PS3 game NBA 08 (with Amare Stoudamire on the cover) made me discover this awesome track! God Bless Guru!

[MAKER6450]

I can never get anough of this.

Inspectah deck is by far the best thing in this song.

wu-tang and gang starr will never get old

[MrGuess28]

@MAKER6450 I pity those who did not grew up to the knowledge of Wu-Tang and Gang Starr

[MAKER6450]

@MrGuess28 My fav Wu-tang song is "protect ya neck"....from 36 chambers.

I played that cd everyday when i was growing up.

[MrGuess28]

@MAKER6450 the original piece? yeah, bro, that's an ill track, for me, I grew up to The W where I discovered Protect ya neck (the jump off)

[MAKER6450]

@MrGuess28 ...."protect ya neck" from 36 chambers.

best wu song ever.

[bouseski]

@MrGuess28 I did not grow up on it :( I am just officially getting into old hip hop, but I love everything from Wu Tang to Gang starr to Mobb Deep to Freestyle Fellowship. I grew up in this digital age. I hate the fact that i didnt grow up with tis hip hop.

[warmfront4life]

@MAKER6450 just don't forget to get a little tipsy from the Martinelli...RECORD[Z]. ;D.

[seanpull]

@MAKER6450 Guru is so much better than Inspectah Deck in this song, are you kidding?

[MAKER6450]

@seanpull so much better?

whatever man....they're both good.

i liked decks lines better....my opinion, not yours.

[seanpull]

@MAKER6450 I know it's an opinion, but I just absolutely love guru especially in this song. I wasn't hating or anything.

[Raykak]

@seanpull Not at all. Guru and Deck both played their roles perfectly.

[mitchal54321]

DJJJ PREMIERRR MOFUCKAAA

[MrGuess28]

Why Guru had to leave us so soon? This is messed up. Guru you are are eternal! Above the clouds!

[justiceforallandall]

[hanzokeeper1]

62are below the clouds

[grotjahnman]

I love this song:D

[coolguyinthe562]

The only reason why I disliked this video is because they dont make no music like this anymore...... :(

[ALonl3yBox]

@coolguyinthe562 Thats not the reason you dislike a video. You dislike a video because its not good.

[coolguyinthe562]

@ALonl3yBox This isnt considered a video. Its considered a song.

[mishbrow]

This is the illest hip hop song of all time. RIP Champ!! I'll be head bopping to this til my times end!!

[MikeDamoci]

Gangstarr and Inspectah Deck....'nuff said.

[thugatron17]

dope ass music.

[JSBM517]

62 dislikes = 62 idiots that don't know good music & don't know the history of good Hip Hop music. Go back to school derelicts. This here is certified Hip Hop genius. This song is over ten years old & goes harder than most rap albums as a whole today. Thats a damn shame one song trumps a whole Hip Hop album today. Can anybody say that about any so called hip Hop song out today? I don't think so.

[ClocksR1]

94-99 was some good years much respect primo and deck guru

[Misterphooey]

just noticed there are zero curse words on this track.

[miltownchippewa]

@Misterphooey no nigga, no bitches, no fame, no cars, no money, all but the truth :)

[starfishshauna]

LONG LIVE THE GURU! LONG LIVE HIP HOP!!! WE DON'T STOP! 2012 we still here on earth!XO GOD BLESS REST IN PEACE GURU JAZZMATAZZ GANGSTARR ONE LOVE!

[donthurtthemmary]

The 7 1/2 is Rightous Gods (Guru & Solar) The 10 is Premier and the other devils that spread lies and they murdered Guru. Their still telling lies and taking pride in Gurus murder..

[Mcnair52]

@donthurtthemmary The fuck u talking about faggot. Solar can suck a dick, but ima ride with Preem.

[KurtG85]

Watch over us brother.

[1978Dari]

The Gods come down here in the physical to drop lyrical miracles and return to the spiritual.

[tomooo5]

dope as shit...won $1000 from casino...my victory song! vato loco forrrever holmes...

[inspectatrack]

its True Hip hop WILL never be the same. Its not that new people wont/cant rise its the fact that times are changing styles are changing and nothing stays the same for ever its a shame God can present us with such amazing things then take it away from us theres millions of people waiting to be recongized but How many of them are gunna bring us the Same vibes of energy that the 90s have... Just watch the Wu tang movie you'll understand what im saying.

[inath101]

This is the sickest song. the 59 dislikers must be the biggest bunch of faggot wankers

[bcwayo]

This is my favorite GangStarr song of all time

[MrWaytoslick1]

now this is music.

[mickalord]

infinite skills create miracles.......limited skills create bullshit

[mickalord]

I cried listening to this song ! Damn , seriously , why we can't have legends like this anymore ? most of them are dead and those that reamins will die soon.... RIP Hip Hop

[Popadizzl3]

@mickalord Those that reamins??

[mickalord]

@Popadizzl3 remain , sorry for mistyping, i knew GURU and it is always a great emotion for me to listen to his tracks

[SomasTube]

@mickalord ThankYou! RIP "Real" Hip Hop!

[Ostroda995]

@mickalord hip-Hop never dies, just to let u know. :-)

[mickalord]

@Ostroda995 you know what i mean , ;-)

[miklitov23]

@mickalord Hip hop is a culture... Composed of B-boy, Emcee, and Tagging (Graffiti).

[mickalord]

@miklitov23 you forgot DJing, i am not here to show my knowledge of hip hop ; i was just expressing a feeling. forget the teacher attitude, don't just get the words , listen to the meaning. watch this , maybe you can understand better video.google.com/videoplay?doc­id=6821011409594651929.

[sublimedog]

@mickalord BET killed hip hop

all rap is now is recruitment viedo's for Prison

Fuck the bling all the rappers are govy agents

theres no consciousness in rap just unattainable gains

sorry for dropping the truth 

[mickalord]

@sublimedog You have the right to express YOUR truth, which is not necessary THE truth. what rappers ( real rappers) are is something i won't discuss, history already told you everything. For consciousness, maybe you are not listening to rap, you are listening some music trying to sound like rap. but you are free to express yourself. peace

[DazedAndConfused61]

@mickalord Mf doom

[mickalord]

@DazedAndConfused61 loooooooooooooooool thank you , T.H.U.G L.I.F.E ( i hope you know what it means )

[XxDriftManiacxX]

@mickalord RIP? Hip Hop didn't die, it packed it's bags and moved underground, you're just not looking hard enough, try searching "Best Underground Rappers" and you'll find the real hip hop.

[CrazyInDaCity08]

@mickalord IM here man... IM HERE!!!!

[Gerapa0]

@mickalord Nigga please, most of them are around 40, and if anybody is gonna die soon is gonna be from drug abuse. Not saying that they are not legends and I respect them and their work, but still, stop talking bullshit.

[mickalord]

@Gerapa0 what i really don't get , is where did i talk bullshit ? jut for saying RIP Real Hip Hop or what ? I have the right to express my feeling and i did it , 4cK the rest. i am tired of arguing,bless

[mrmiles725]

The Moon and the planets avail

And new hopes for knowledge and peace avail

Therefore as we set sail

We ask God's blessing on the most hazardous, and dangerous, and greatest adventure of which Man has ever embarked...

Even the sample of my man John Fitzgerald is on some other sh*t

Top 5 material here

[HempForPresident]

@mrmiles725 "Well, space is there, and we're going to climb it, and 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. " - John Fitzgerald Kennedy

[rosabella22391]

@HempForPresident HELL YEAH DUDE, YOU FELT THAT SHIT JUST LIKE I DID.

[mrmiles725]

Mannnnn, listen...

THIS right here helps to make sense out of life

Beyond inspirational, beyond hip-hop, just BEYOND

Makes me wanna conquer my body & mind in order to LIVE this mentality

THIS is that Godbody flow fa' sho'

[wise014]

Love this song

[ad34bballin]

This is real rap. Not new stuff. I hate the digital beats. gangstarr got some of the sickest samples. RIP Guru!

[i2Shea]

@ad34bballin You can thank Primo for that ! He's the greatest producer AND DJ of all time !

[ad34bballin]

@i2Shea Trust me, I think him plenty when I'm looking for beats to do freestyle battles with my friends haha. 

[i2Shea]

@ad34bballin all day my son

[heyhacoolkid]

55 people are under the clouds with lil wayne

[MAKER6450]

gang starr and wu-tang....never gets old.

grew up listening to it and ill die with it in my mind.

[MrWaytoslick1]

@MAKER6450 damn right.

[meezeegtr]

gangstar is another reason y the whole b.s. "top 5 list" is retarded. How many times do you see guru in someone's top 5......almost never which is soooooo dumb. Theres soooo many dope mc's, how could u just narrow it down 2 only five.

[ImpatientWreck]

@meezeegtr This is Legit.....lol my top TEN.... 1. Guru 2. O.C. 3. Wu-Tang (i know, the whole clan, includes Killarmy and Sunz Of Man) 4. Big L 5. Jadakiss (top five dead or alive) 6. Gravediggaz 7. The whole duckdown camp (Buckshot, Rock and Ruck, WWBCC 8. Rakim 9. Tribe Called Quest 10. Nas I know i will get hell for it, but it's my personal top 10.

[MAKER6450]

@ImpatientWreck good list souls of mischief, alkaholiks, hieroglyphics are up there in my favs from back in the day.

wu-tang 36 chambers was one of my all time fav albums....i can never get sick of that cd

[bandicoot2ps1]

@meezeegtr Keep it personal and respect other people's opinion. Some artist move me in ways others don't,not to say who is technically better just you like what you like.I compare it to sports.Your favorite team may not be the"best" but you still like them,even over the team with the best record,hell even over the one that goes home with the trophy.I don't know why when it comes to music people think differently.

[westside159]

i leave scientist mentally scarred , triple xtra large

[jillzy21]

Love this song so chilled.

[Avallido89]

i heard this on Entourage.

[johnnygutierrez88]

@Avallido89 omg me too hahahaha

[TheFrankiefitz]

@Avallido89 Entourage? Shorty's "Fulfill the Dream" for me.

[MAKER6450]

@TheFrankiefitz yeah, the steve olson part right?

i loved that vid when i was a kid.

[JermzHermz18]

@TheFrankiefitz yahhhhh fulfill the dream, so ahead of its time

[kaiswann]

[whiteboynigg]

[Golfshooter]

[tagndash01]

I think its " Myself, lord and master."..

[kadavas1080]

@tagndash01 I Self Lord & Master = I.S.L.A.M.

[tagndash01]

@kadavas1080 Word. Thanks, that makes sense.
