man this song had me bobbing my head big time!!! i remember getting home from middle school and waiting for this song to come on Rap City so i can do that dance Greg Nice was kicking throughout the vid...this song is so sic it's relavent.. case closed.
WHAT DOES DWYCK MEAN?????i AGREE WIT BAGLEY GREG NICE KILLS THE INTRO...ITS ALL ABOUT PLACIN THE MC'S.. SMOOVE B IS GOOD AT HE END, IMAGINE BUSTA? OR SHEEK? OF FAB, OR LUDA, OR DRAKE??? JK LOL
wyjebany kawalek w pizdu. Pamietam Guru concert w Poznaniu w 2007, koncert zajebioza (in english translation- this shit is awsome. I remember Guru on concert in Poznan in 2007, it was good as fuck
By far, hands down, the only artist that gets play in my ride the most. A true legend. Guru, rest in peace. Shout out to Gangstarr for the tightest cuts.
Aaaa rap at its best before it transcended into what it has now become . good song takes be back in time ,people still get hype when they play this song in the clubs its still a hit . RIP Gangstarr
This is real Hip-Hop at its fullest. Most definiteley the golden years. Listening to the creativity that hip hop artists had back then makes me so disappointed at the state of hip hop today. There is no creativity nowadays. Everybody is trying to do the same thing. that is why music is failing.
yo damn right, you cant beat old school. Def beats new school. im sick of all thi fake electro hip hop with the synthesized voices. What the hell is all that about? Easy flash money makin one hit wonders i guess. But with the old school they will always stay with you. And youll always remember.
@DanaBfrom207 yea premo never left..but hes not in the lime light like he was back in the 90's when the mainstream was hiphop..you get wut im sayin b?...
i really think some of you are taking it wrong. he was not talking in the literal form. i as a young person and now a man always felt when he said "clips are inserted into my gun so I can take the money never have to run" he meant VERBALLY. at least that is what i felt. just my opinion.
in response to weedphilsophers comment, Gang Starr is AGRESSIVE but does talk about violence frequently. Just listen to this song: "clips are inserted into my gun so I can take the money never have to run" and "too late when they dip for their clip they get sprayed. One of the illest mcs of the early 90s and still is today, but u need to listen to your songs before discussing the content of it
I can't deny that.. He really uses that violent content frequently. But what I meant was that he is ill and he isn't due to his agressiveness, but due to his lyrics. About the guns.. street life is though my friend, and I'm glad that I´ve never had to live it myself.. but it for sure takes special measures to go past. I think that Guru with that speech refers more to a Tupac's "thug Life" ideal than rather go round assaulting people for fun and riches.. now what I mean? ;) good comment though.
Nothin like this here!!This is dat real hip hop. Wasn't too crazy about Nice and Smooth, but the whole hip hop vibe was real back in these days. Thanks for posting.
I just love GangStarr because Guru is SO FUCKING AGRESSIVE without even having to use violence. he really believes in the power of words rather than guns, so he kicks others by his discurse. And whata kick! Anyway, someone who works with DjPremier's fat rhytms and beats on the "back" would always have his "neck" protected..
Classic! DJ Premier was on top of his game. Guru and Nice & Smooth killed it! Real hip-hop! "92' huh, one year later/peace out Premier take me out with the fader/"
Primo did not gets just props. Dude was just so good with his he was taken for granted. Real simple breaks, but this is still fire. Rhymes are tight!!!!!!!!
At that time in NY- "props" was a slang word that meant respect. If you knew alot of people that had your back whenever you needed them or at any given moment you had "mad props" hence the metaphor " I get more "props" and stunts than Bruce Willis"
Another classic gets some love. Anyone care to explain how we went from this to today's "rap"? Skill and technique got passed over for bling and gangsta bullshit. Let's see if this generation's so-called hip-hop will even be remembered come the next decade. Classics stand the test of time, period.
Know what you mean, wish they still did it like this. I don't think anyone can get tired of this, even though its old school, it shows people are still listening to it! Hip-Hop today wont be old school in 20 years time, it will be forgotten!
For some reason, this song popped into my head today, but I couldn't remember the name of the song, or what artist. But I knew the song cold and kept playing it over and over in my head until I got a clue.
It worked, and when I played the song I had to shake my head and laugh. This was soooooooooooooo long ago, but a classic none the less.
Yo my people, this is one of those joints I can't even begin to explain. I'm really on some sh** right now. Fkn classic! Shout out to the hood! My hood nks!
One Of The 1st rhyme's i've learned as a youngin ...i rapped it at my uncle funeral ...didnt know anybetter but hey..this song had a big impact on me @ 6yrs old lmao RIP UNCLE B.
Gangstarr is one of the best groups from that era, including epmd, nice and smooth, pete rock & cl smooth, a tribe called quest, de la soul, black moon, the whole boot camp click. Street Hop forever. Be easy

"Lemonade was a popular drink and it still is."
The most cryptic line in Hip-Hop history.
