Great video. Far too often rappers forget their roots. They don't give the respect to what got them where they are. The DJ, B-boy and graff heads came before the emcee, they put you on stage to hype the crowd and help rock a party. Now most of them are greedy and straight forgot they history, dont wanna share the light with any of the other elements of our culture. Respect to Gangstarr for always putting the culture first.
Rap is not hip-hop. Rap is just a part of hip-hop. This encapsulates all facets of hip-hop culture... Graffiti writing, dancing, rapping, DJing.... Sooooo good.
you gotta respect the pioneers of the industry. Hip hop wouldn't be what it is today without Rakim, nas, biggie, 2pac and so many others. That's why they are still talked about. The second column will be long forgotten when they are still respected. Music is has an evolution to it, even the one hit wonders know that
Surely you must be joking? Soulja boy??! Lil (faggy vocoder) Wayne? You are comparing T-Pain to Rakim!!? Flo (overnight mc) rida!!? Akon, with respect, is a singer. Timabaland is a producer. You are taking big names and comparing them with the last shit you've heard. Stop that please.
(ruthless gangster definition villin,leave ya shit un locked and he's stealin ,so call the police cause thats all u can do, he'll get away without leavin a clue) guess what that song is without searchin the lyrics?
i know this man and he isn't only a great artist, also very intelligent. mr. e u know me the cape verdean squeeze's sister that you went with from the cape. i stole your kango...lol....i am showing my kids your videos

yo seattle hittin fatal blows let these hos know who we be ,like who here we go again , writen about my sins, i been commiten , but i keep it wit bass so its hard hittn , jekyl charles be the hottest ,on the city ,hey hey ok i back off an let go of your titty ,but why em i supposed to save you ,bouncers talkn stop u but why , man em i high or is this just a dream , man it better end wit a whole lot of cream, know what i mean holla if you ever had a dream stopped at nothin to get it so fansit
im 15 and even i know hip hop suck theses days they try so hard to be something you not why be a gangsta when you can be yourself i understand sometimes you have fight protect whats yours but now they do unnecessary stuff lol rap about how good you are and not how shot somebody to death why rap about sealing crack when you can rap about cleaning the streets
Because thats all u see on TV rappers talking about how cool gangs and shit are..when in reality anybody who has been in a gang and left will tell you how much it sucks ass..it will fuck up your life if you join a proper gang..say goodbye to any future u potentially had..all that shit is subtly brainwashing us..thats why this skillful shit should be played instead..
No they didn't kill it they just put their spin to it if you listen to all their underground unheard of shit is worth listening to. You see it's all about the money and thats why mainstream rap is so shitty. Everyone has to understand that people like different shit but i wouldn't say that mainstream killed hip hop and if you do believe that maybe you just killed hip hop with in you own self.
new age mainstream hip hop is in the process of ruining it. Especially southern rap. Where beats are no longer creative and intriquite like DJ Premier always proved to be the best at. And rappers like Lil Wayne with absolutely no talent in the lyrics and flow, anyone that thinks lil wayne is on a level even close to Guru, /laugh
This comes from the albumTHE OWNERZ. The album is SICK. Lyrically on point by Guru- Gifted Unlimited Rhymes are Universal,production by PREMIER, it gets no fuckin better. Bangin album, very well put together from start to finish
Actually bruv, it is coming out right now....but not on your mainstream radar. Listen, if you still live & breathe Hip-Hop as a culture, then you will know where 2 cop tunes like this in 2009. I take it that you are American?
I'm English from the UK & still buy shit like this on Vinyl records in 2009. Go 2 Fatbeats in NY & see for yourself, the shit is there 4 you 2 buy.
