  • primo s job

  • man this is tight. when i want to know what rap is, i come to this era mostly. from like 90-95. so much came out. tribe, smiffnwessun, mobb deep, epmd, de la soul, doggystyle & the chronic, redman and so many more. those just a few of my favorites.

  • infinite dopeness.....

  • sometimes all you need to get by is a girly

  • @quicktolisten what can you say? It's Dj Premier :)

  • this shit came out when i was 28 years old. i was rocking this shit when yall was little children. and was living in bed stuy. right when beggie first came out. when i came home from rankers. and i was force to live in beford alantic shelter. were only the strong survive. evry thing he said was true. this is the kind of music that kelp me alive. and kelp me moving with street force power. nothing could hold me down. the part he said about sqeaky. that was a real ganster.

  • @TheQenny Hope you're doing better these days, fam. This shit even helped ordinary white folks like me who dealt who had to pay all those fucked up dues just the same. Even though we weren't dodgin' bullets we still had to get from point a to point b with our sanity intact. Guru held me down when I didn't have a friend.

  • Excellence.

  • @Sl0bkPL yeah boy !

    Hiyah :D

  • I was wondering, why do people call Brooklyn, New York "The Planet"? I'm not from New York I'm just asking.

  • @TheBlackMoose Brooklyn has the largest population of any borough in NYC. Places like Bed Stuy,Brownsville, East New York is where all the shit is jumping off at. Brooklyn has a electric environment comparable to that of Manhattan. If you ever go to NYC check out Brooklyn and you will see. Thats why they call it the Planet.

  • @TheBlackMoose Brooklyn is the largest borough in NY. It is bigger than alot of US cities....There are so many neighborhoods in Brooklyn that are all unique....

  • used to slap this one after movin' out of my parents house when i was 17, FRISCO you know, RIP Guru you are rippin immortal

  • Takes me back.

  • this song makes me want to move to Brooklyn.

  • The 3 stooges disliked this video. smh

  • @gabe1352 it wouldn't be right if there wasn't any haters in here.

  • Iiiiin the woooorld, wo wo wo, Iiiin the...hoooo!

  • Cypress hill would have sounded good wit this beat too.

  • @CLASSICILLSCHANNEL I Agree with you, sir.

  • Never takin shorts cuz Brooklyn's the borough

  • My raps are immaculate and full of particulate, matter.

    It will flow through your eardrums and scatter,the worries and fears that you have in your head.

    The worlds full of darkness I'm trying to shed some, light.

    You know I'm gonna brighten the night, turn it to day and get you high as a kite.

    Despite, the fact that drugs are not what your taking.

    Just a hit of tranquility off of the rhymes that I'm making.

    R.I.P. Guru

  • timeless

  • lil wayne, wiz khalifa and soulja boy are the three faggots who disliked this video

    preemo this beat is so dope and guru's lyrics are so true

  • @stickodie now lil wayne and drake plus those rappers

  • for some reason this jam, especially the beat reminds of the Jungle Book scene where King Louis & the Monkeys are dancing with Baloo & Mogali lol

  • this track is soooo..... brooklyn peace to tha GODs

  • Greetings from Holland, puffin a dutchy

  • Whats that song at the beggining it sounds big

  • Ive been down with the foundation since 92. i heard their shit but this was the first GangStarr tape i bought. Guru & Primo made me not just hear but feel the music.

  • listen carefully and feel the magic

  • how did he die? n wen?

  • He had Cancer, n April 18 or 19 this year

  • I was lucky enough to see him live... much props to the whole Gang Starr Foundation...

  • Comment removed

  • shut up nigga's hahahaha

  • I'm still lost for words after his death,but I tell ya'll one thing.The Media and the Mainstream ain't giving enough credit for his contributions in this now fucked-up industry.But the memories listen to his shit, is just too much to mention.Most of it got me thinking bout survival and how to move on while being yourself.

    R.I.P Guru,You'll Be 4ever Missed,Brother!

  • Can't believe Guru is dead, and I just heard...  sad, sad sad. Love me some Gang Starr! This jam is my absolute favorite. RIP Guru, you rocked my world.

  • I waited for the hype to die down..now is my time to pay my respects..Guru was such an extraordinary mc, not a spitter, a flower..realistic, stayed in his lane...this song is such an insight into the quality of work he did..this entire album is a classic..R.I.P. to a hip hop legend!

  • No gimmicks, no flashy vocals, no r&b singer on a catchy hook...just that voice and those lyrics. Listen to how spare the track is. Yet the song is so compelling. All you wannabe rappers out there, take note; this is how you hold a listener's attention. R.I.P. Guru we love you.

  • Yeah it sucks that it takes the death of a legend to get some respect from the mainstream rap fans, but at least they know what they been missing now. Let Guru school em fill em up on that good knowledge shit and maybe they can change they whack ass ways. Peace and much respect to the god GURU

  • Gave my pops a pound, then he hugged me, and then he turned around.

    Epic-ness is incalculable

  • I'M GONNA MAKE IT DAMMIT!

  • guru true legend

  • When hip hop became super popular and washed down from commercial propaganda I knew I could count on Premo and GURU to save the day at least once every year. The first album showed me how to produce hip hop and they got better and better every year, i'm gonna miss that but I won't ever lose that hunger it gave me to hear the first drum loop with Guru's laidback but rough delivery over Prem's production.

  • Damn; I'm so pissed and Hurt...This man was my favorite Rapper; BEFORE and Throughout the Biggy and Pac era!!!! Damn; Our Best are leaving us!! The First real spitter is gone....damn!!! RIP to Guru!!!!! I'll be playing a gangstarr HIt every time I DJ from this point on!!!! Man, I seriously hurt right now!!!!

  • Man I thought I was the only one That was crasy about this joint... Probably my alltime favorite joint from gangstarr... "sometimes all u need to get by is a girlie". Favorite line as well... Reality rap from guru.... RIP GURU

  • One of the best that ever picked up a mic. This album, this song, had a profound impact on my life. Just want to say thanks...peace.

  • This track is my Life Story for real.

  • Yes sir...

  • My theme song when I moved out the crib in

    the Bury and back to Brooklyn. Favorite line:

    "... sometime all you need to get by is a girlie.

    Guru, Gang Starr, The Planet.

  • RIP

  • My brother isn't even a fan of hip hop like that. But Gangstarr was the shit that not even he could deny! This was our joint right here!

  • This is so ill its chilling. It makes you realize how much of a artform that hip hop USED TO BE.

  • hear those skills

  • "I used to hang in 4 Coners and all the spots in Beantown where niggas carried burners"...damn how many cats who left Boston relate to this song?

  • boom bash dash

  • this is premos most laid back beat...and its NASTY

  • does anyone have the instrumental to this?

  • yoooo, Gangstarr is one of the illest hip hop duos ever!, But why does Premo look like Talib in dis pic? lol

  • Lotta love to Guru

True story, back in the early 2000s gangstarr was the first music cd i every listened to high (puffin Cali weed), and i swear i thought i could see the music for the first time in my life, it was like being deaf and hearing sound for the very first time..it was beautiful...thanx Josh, miss u dawg R.I.P

  • early 2000's? that means you are a young head. respect to you soulja, it says alot about you duke that you are a gang starr fan. the real fuck wit the real. DOWN BY LAW YA HEARD. BAD NEWZ VA.

  • @OmarHandsome that's dope how you put that!

  • @OmarHandsome well said

  • @OmarHandsome haha same here bro! i was layin in bed with headphones on, turned on 'moment of truth' and literally saw music. blazed out of my mind.

  • @OmarHandsome

    That bud was probably laced.

  • @nhswrestle Hes metaphorically speaking stupid.

  • @OmarHandsome burning a west coast joint while bumping a east coast joint, that's whats up

  • @OmarHandsome what do you mean you wer hallucinating?

  • the sample...and now directly from the planet brooklyn...is Dj K-Rock at the beginning of Mc Lyte's Lyte as a Rock...I am so old school..I'm damn near an old fool..throw a seminar once a month...teach youngbucks to hold tools!!!

  • i'm gonna make it goddamn it ...here in B-R-OO-K- LYN ....The Planet....

  • whats that jazz sample on the hook

  • best gang starr song

    thiz is timeless classic

  • what the first sample from anybody know?

  • "It's all because she's gone" Steve Davis- 1970 RCA

  • G. ifted U. nlimited R. hymes U. niversal and DJ Premier complimented each other very well! The DJ provided the 808 and the lyricist MURDERED it. They give you some mental stimulation that you can move back and forth to. Gentlemen, all I can say is Thank You!

  • gangstarr doesnt disapoint

  • this sounds like a jay style beat

  • And what song is sampled that goes "And now directly from the planet..." Those horns sound tight. Is that from Digable Planets?

  • LIL WAYNE? I hope youtube disables your right to place comments, because you have nothing to say and no taste at all

  • Read the rest of the comment......"nah j/k" meaning.......JUST KIDDING.......I don't care for Lil Wayne..........Geez......

    No Taste? My favorite albums are the first 4 Tribe Albums, Moment of Truth, Black On Both Sides, Black Star, De La Soul Iz Dead, Reasonable Doubt and I am a HUGE J-Dilla fan (been loving his beats since '96) and I could go on forever.....I know my shit.

    I'm also fine with the fact that I got five thumbs down....maybe people should READ the rest of the comment. Damn.....

  • you should not even joke about that shit bro, its that serious

  • apparently....seems like everyone's ready to bring the gullotine out....

  • if guru stops to bitch up it may would be possible.

    but now we got blaq poet and big shug stills..

    solar is wack... (wack .. the negative meaning of course)

  • word the fuck up! let's start a campaign sun to get these cats in the studio and while were at it, lets get pete rock and cl smooth back, and get a new nas cd produced solely by preemo, pete, and rza. dam that shit gives me the chill just thinking about it. And just for the hell of it, lets get that class of 88 jumping off. a compilation cd with g rap, krs one, rakim, and big daddy kane. guranteed money, people need to listen to me!
