Gangstarr - Tonz 'O' Gunz

[TheRobo3000]

r.i.p guru<--------

[roflDRG]

lmao...That's hilarious. Gangstarr pretty much brought real hip hop to the mainstream. When I go to make my top 5 favorite Gangstarr tracks it ends up being a top 20 list. The fact that they werent even mentioned just shows how VH1 really dont know jack shit about hip hop.

I actually had the opportunity to see Gangstarr live years ago. Saw them open for Rage Against the Machine. One of the best shows I've ever seen in my life.

[TheTrampolineMen]

is that malcolm x speaking in the beggining?

[Werdmeng]

@TheTrampolineMen yeah man MALCOLM X when he was VIGILANT thats why its TONSOFGUNS

[Illmatic2505]

gang starr got to be the greatest hiphop duo ever... they dropped 6 albums in like 15 years and 4 of them were straight classics.

[211bill]

Little Big Man. Napoleon Complex.

[ChinkyChainsaw]

Like on the real, Gang Starr is one of the best rap groups of all time. If not THE best.

[Zoonjse]

These lyrics are ingenious. What a flow of great messages of real ghetto life.

[EmCDL]

Yo I don't know about yall but when I first heard this track that hi-hat kept me coming to it

[daxcaliber]

[reader599]

"Fuck the bullshit, pain, and sufferin'. I'm coming off with a foolproof plan...I stand in the face of hatred..." -- Guru. RIP.

[IsmokeCLOWNS]

Isn't a shame that we lost a TRUE lyracist? thank you commecial radio/tv for not saying anything (BET, MTV, CNN, any other station that didn't comment on a lost modern day CHE Guevera

[greendagger87]

@IsmokeCLOWNS che gueverra was mad muderer

who was a assasin 4 fidel castro guru used hiphop

to teach his people the truth kickin street knowledge

[TheManInDboX]

@IsmokeCLOWNS

Lets face it thats because the American people are brainwashed zombies of corporate media. You can tell a lot about a generation based on the music, the hippies of the 60's had peace rock and stand up for your independence, who later sold out to money.. Then there was the next major step in the right direction which was true story telling or RAP, which was later sold out to money. Greed is the root of all evil my friend, and ignorance runs deep in Americans..

[CSK8productionz1]

@TheManInDboX so true but ignorance runs in everybody, not just Americans

[reader599]

This Primo beat is so crisp, so exact, almost scientific in its clinical precision. 

[raptore90]

@reader599 fuckin true

[elbamare]

You say Justin Bieber-I say Tupac

You say Lil Wayne-I say Biggie Smalls

You say Drake-I say Ice Cube

You say Soulja Boy-I say Big Pun

You say Gucci Mane-I say Rakim

You say New school-i say shut the fuck up

You say Pop-I scream Hip Hop!

You say Hannah Montana-i fucking punch you in the face

92% of teenagers have turned to New school and Pop.If you are part of the 8% that still listen to real music,copy and paste this message to another 5 videos. Don't let the real rap die.

[Toremanntor]

@elbamare Funny how you're trying to keep real rap alive and what you're basically doing in the same message is keeping all the other shit alive as well.

If people stopped talking about someone they will vanish. Seems on most of these old school videos people focus on the wrong artists, they're saying "Fuck this dude, he killed hip hop". What you should all be doing in stead is to enjoy the song and praise Guru and Prem in stead! Legends!

R.I.P. Keith!

Isaac Hayes - Breakthrough

[SALVATRUCHA87]

I dont see why everyone is trippin over VH1's Hip Hop list! This is the channel that had Vanella Ice talking about the 40 least hip hop moments. The channel is own by MTV, the same channel that does those brainwashing pointless list of the hottest MC's!

[extrem1008]

real hip hop.

[fredowero]

tonz o gunz bringing nothing but death

[tsiko18]

oldschool rimes

[teemad]

This is a classic on so many levels: the music, the rap, the lyrics and most of all, the story. And a true story at that. Respect.

[ofthejunglegeorge]

fuck the mainstream the is hip-hop at its best...

[Djteedoe420]

TONZ OF GUNZ

[EAZYDUZIT95]

Gang Starr is one of the greatest hip-hop groups of all time, yet few acknowledge this.A while back, VH1 aired the 100 Greatest Songs of Hip-Hop, and did not even mention Gang Starr.Seriously, whoever in the right mind didn't allow them on the list has got be brought to trial.They should've at least made it at the first few slots, but no.They were snubbed in favor of unforgettable songs such as "Get Low", "Get Ur Freak On" and, the best yet, "Make 'Em Say Ugh".

[cr777777777777777777]

i hear u bro i watch the shit 2 in vh1 n i was like wtf were ganstarr at

[MrThriller4life]

@EAZYDUZIT95 i agree 100% they didn't include gang starr at all...mobb deep shook ones pt. 2 either..i think mass appeal,you know my steez,full clip etc.. should have been on there..fuck them mainstream dickriders..they had chingy?,nelly?,pm dawn?,young mc?50 cent? and a whole bunch of one hit wonders over Gang Starr?..Wow hip hop really is dead

[kanarvin]

Word. I stll have all theyre shit and half of em are on cassette. Legendary group.

[DjDafader]

@EAZYDUZIT95 i really wish there will come a revolution to give groups like this including pete rock and cl smooth pitch black bootcamp click get the recognition they deserve all them commercial twats makin money these dayz listened to these waypavers.... why there is no recognition for these people just shuts me up and makes me shake my head in a negative way.....

[helikestv]

All that list was was "let's take the 100 most well-known rappers\groups and list the biggest radio hit from each one" you cant take it seriously. People who actually know hip hop realize Gang Starr is among the best.

[JacekPott]

@EAZYDUZIT95 This Music needs no VH1 Rating.....Its not made for that...

[TheEazyDuzIt95]

@EAZYDUZIT95 Well said.

[MootPoon817]

@EAZYDUZIT95 What a coinkydink, make em say ugh is on the right hand side as a featured video..

[quinncarter15]

@EAZYDUZIT95

this makes me so fucking pissed off

[TheTrampolineMen]

@EAZYDUZIT95 yeah but they're no a group, they're a duo...

[SMUFNYS]

real hip hop songs shouldn't have comment boxes

[ZeBji]

Chea Gang Starr fo life !

Peace from Finland.

[dartisone]

dopest beat ever, im so high right now listening this beat drive me to crazyness

[otherwon1]

that beats jus screamin on that ass!!!!!

[etaylorgroup00]

One to grow on

etaylorgroup:promotion

[willieno2]

jotbot no1 wnts 2 hear ur fukin opinions u silly cunt comparing this classic shit wit ll cool j gat real u cunt

[jotbot76]

Guru.. no hate at all.. but not one of my favs. I mean, this album was dope.. to me the tracks did it, and later when i learned more about Jeru, i enjoy those cuts where's he's appearing even more.

To me guru is more a late LL Cool character.. muscled up, with black leather west n stuff.. same time mixing erika yabadabadoo flavor in the mix... being all continental with solar (and whats with him??..nothing!)

Still .. this is a very good classic album!

[jotbot76]

Gang Starr - Mostly Tha Voice <-- i mean... c'mon

[dev0x16]

but this nigga spits fiyah

[tropicalpimp]

yo son, go smack yourself for making such a retarded,pointless comment. I would love to sit here and point out how completely fuckin different those two are but I dont' discuss hip hop with ignorant juveniles... erika badu flavor? wtf is that? that bitch came out YEARS after Guru OR LL been ryming. sheeesh. you young bucks these days dont know SHIT!

[ZorbinEUR]

TOnz o guns you got we got they got

[godzman7]

man listen, im only saying this shit once, nobody is fucking with guru EXCEPT krs one on the mic. NOBODY!

[wheelhows]

love keith and kris...but damn dog NOBODY?!?!......Redman, Rakim, G Rap. Ghostface....etc.

[godzman7]

i luv those you mentioned above especially g-rap and rakim. ghost and redman are tight but not in my top 5 list. as for g rap he is #3 on my top 5 but like a more consious reality based flow. as for rakim, he's #4 and is the pioneer of the 5% flow. my only complaint is his inactivity!

[originoo10]

Just remember, ever since Guru left Premier and went with Solaar, Guru has SUCKED TERRIBLY. Gangstarr is my favorite music group, yeah... but seriously, Guru's out of his prime, he's trash now, and something he said recently made me really pissed. He said that he's the only thing that made GangStarr good and that Premier didn't help him at all. Sure, I didn't expect that, but seriously, I liked Guru in his prime. Rakim has always been 10 times better than Guru... Guru never belonged in top 10...

[godzman7]

true indeed guru has slipped since leaving gangstarr. it doesnt diminish his skills its just that he's going in a totally different direction with his career. rakim has had the same drop off after the 18th letter. production and energy is everything to an emcee. yes the god ra is nice, he pioneered the 5% flow which all the great emcees borrowed from, including guru. but when u look at the quantity and quality of his catalog, i give it to gurizi! i agree i am pissed at his attitude towards preem

[tropicalpimp]

how could you be pissed about his attiutude towards preem? you dont' know what happened between those two. for all you know they had some personal issues over a bitch. you NEVER know. dont waste your time being pissed,them niggas dont give a fuck about you.

[godzman7]

1st of all queen pussy, i'm commenting in reference to an interview he did online where he was emphatically implying that he was gang starr as if preemo signature sound did'nt play a role in gang starr's success. mind u i consider guru to be #2 on my top 5 greatest mc list. i'm figuratively speaking when i say im pissed, because i miss their shit. do u think im unaware that people who dont know me don't care about my feelings,lol. it's almost like how i don't give a flying fuck about u, faggot!

[tropicalpimp]

and I'm not the one reading an interview about 2 men and their problems(which is also very cute of you)... but I"M the fag? lol your sharp as a bat my dude.

[godzman7]

but you are the faggot that's trying to give another man some advice. THANK YOU DR. PHIL! LOL

[hyouton13]

i dont like Guru ,i dont like hes voice and Primo is best hip-hop producer

[originoo10]

Guru's voice is what makes him beast as well as his rhymes... he just sucks now... your profile picture is soulja boy, so you're in no place to talk...

[BANE9]

lmfao!!!!!

[godzman7]

GET THAT CLOWN STRAIGHT GOD!

[tropicalpimp]

lol thats clowing son!

[hyouton13]

Dude,OMFG,you just right now sayed that im fan of soulja boy,dude if you like insult people do it normally,ITS FUCKING VIDEO NAMED SOULJA BOY SUCKS,THATS WHY THERE IS HIS PICTURE.

[DZA9mm]

[thisonerightMFhere]

Interesting intro to this joint.

More poignant now than in 94.

[sizzla123]

[luga982]

[sketsone]

Tonz o gunz,u got,we got,they got...

[dezine7605]

one of my all time fav albums within the golden era of hip hop...

.....they great you with a pistol not tryin' to say hello....mad kids pack cause their neighborhoods' like that.......it's like you need to have steel just to feel relaxation

[kipo007XD]

[kanarvin]

[johndh90]

tonz of guns but i dont glorify...they like to feel the chrome in their hands, the shit makes them feel like little big man.

no supervision putting dumb ass kids in check who think acting hood is cool and never grow the fuck out of it. DOPEE

[thedominio]

timeless...still better than the whole mtv stuff

[ganjauk13]

[Lordsadler22]

this shit is in a class of its own that beat and the lyrics are just to crazy

[Lordsadler22]

u now what made old hip hop good they were lyricaly skilled new hip hop there are sum but not alot of them out there

[Flintcityboy99]

trully nowadays anywhere anybody use guns

bringing nothin but death

[erikAtog]

i got tonz o guns. so chill with that

[lapana29]

TIMELESS!!!!!STRAIGHT TIME LESS.i love it.....

[rapiddom]

the influince that these tonz o gunz have had on America's inner city subculture is finally elucidated: as Guru clearly states,"its like you need to have steel just to feel relaxation." While the posession of a firearm managed to provide the owner with atleast a temporal feeling of security, maybe this is not the issue Guru struggles with in this song. Do the origins of the urban culture of violence date back to the civil rights movement (e.g. the MLK clip in the beginning of the song)?

[publica6]

It's Malcolm X

[hueston82]

i use to bang this when I was 11

[Bluexhox]

One Of The Most Underrated Songs That GS Has Ever Done. This Is A Ill Commentary On How Firearms Are So Pervasive In Our Society And Who Has Their Hands On Them. It's Not A Black Or White Issue, Violence Affects Us All And Guru's Telling Us That. And As For Mjn76 This Is One Of Primo's Illest Beats Because While It's Just A Simple Kick/Snare That Shit Is Hard As Fuck And He Complements It Perfectly With His Sound Effects And Voice Samples. Classic Shit Here Son...

[purplegreenery]

this beat is scary

[koolfraser]

for real. ill mad beat with freaky hypnotic bass line backed by creepy high screeches.

[flintcityboy9]

TONZ 'O' GUNZ KIDD

[mjn76]

Every response to me is either an insult or a threat. Try reading what I posted and proving me wrong. I know that means you'll have to actually THINK. Try it sometime.

[fromdaspires]

ill skills and lyrics with actual meaning...tonz o gunz but i don't glorify cos more gunz will come and much more will die...TRUE

[77musica]

what happened to Hip Hop? Are all these fucking new wanna be MCs retards or WHAT?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[theryder07]

tonz o' gunz will change yo respect

[mjn76]

The beginning is illogical (and racist): "If it's wrong to be violent -- defending black women... -- then it's wrong to America to draft us and make us violent in defense of her." Um, there are different kinds of violence. There's criminal violence and violence in defense of oneself or one's nation.

Guru and Premier make the same mistake. They also ignore the very MANY times that guns are used DEFENSIVELY.

And the beat? Sorry, but it sucks. Premier is capable of MUCH better.

[aznpig91]

smartass...'ooo look at me ima "hip hop know at all" zat culd tell the difference between good hip hop & bad hip hop tracks'...well FUCK U know one gives a SHIT!!! U FUCKIN FUCK FACE!!!! peace 2 ya guru n primo...

[Bouddhabuzz]

go back to your sub-urban home, or Tonz of gunz will knock at your door.

[funkbrother216]

It's very much logical. Don't force us to defend a country that doesn't feel as if our own women are worth defending. It specifies black women because they are most at risk and share a common delima.

[ZorbinEUR]

shut up
