The Premo scratch at the end is the greatest

[suspekt29]

I remember the 1st time I heard Guru. I was walking the streets in my home town and someone dropped a dubbed tape on the ground unlabeled. I brought it home and it ended up being the Daily Operation album. I was hooked. I might have been a late bloomer but I am glad to have lived through the Hip Hop Renaissance

[photonjackson]

@suspekt29 thats how i found nas' first tape it was on the ground broke i couldn't read the label took it home and fixed it. freakin classic

[mattyrich76]

Does anyone know who Guru wrote this song about?

[chiladin]

@mattyrich76 You!

[mattyrich76]

@chiladin Piss off you dumb loser, if you don't have anything useful to add to the discussion, than go upstairs from your cyberlair and ask your mommy to give you a juice box. Oh yeah, and if you don't like it, take it personal little boy!

[chiladin]

@mattyrich76 You must be a whiteboy.lol.

[mattyrich76]

@chiladin He took it personal. You're not sucking me into a flame war, you aren't smart enough. We're done here, bye trollboy!

[FuckThePolize]

@mattyrich76 Guru was responding to an artist from NJ named YZ. YZ dropped a song called "In Control of Things"...a classic. A few people ended up using the sample from this song after YZ-Big Daddy Kane, Lakim Shabazz and Gang Starr. In particular, Gang Starr used the sample on the song " No More Mr. Nice guy". YZ came out with a diss song called "Get off the Rhythm". He called out Gangstarr and others for using the sample. Gangstarr replied with "Take It Personal". This i got from another vid

[mattyrich76]

@FuckThePolize Great, thanks for all that info.

[soccerfan85]

@mattyrich76 YZ a rapper from the late 80s that tried to get on everybody about sampling.

[planetoftheapes]

this guys trying to sound like a mix between nas and lil jon, no wonder no one has heard of him

[FoxHunter39]

@planetoftheapes

Lil jon wasn't even around in 92 think before you talk

[planetoftheapes]

@FoxHunter39 actually Lil Jon was working or interning for Jermaine Dupri in the early 90's. he did not have a label or a distro but he was making music and these "underground rappers" could've easily stolen from him.

[societysphantom]

@planetoftheapes Nas and Lil Jon?! yo son, u str8 stupid -___-

[rcole718]

@planetoftheapes LOL @ no one ever hearing of Guru.

[Dy880]
