[harrisbm10]

@peytonjmusic night in tunisia written all over it

[underligting]

btw the two dancers isn't scoob and scab is it?

[CarsRapTrack]

the vid reminds me of eric b and rakim-move the crowd

[eXpLiiiSiT]

@ayothisangel I don't know if those allegations are true or not. But that doesn't mean anything. Guru, gay or not is what got me in to Hip-Hop. It's time for people to stop being homophobic. I seriously hope Guru was gay. It would make him stand out that much more and I love him for being so different.

[TheJackCahill]

I will be your sacrificial lamb... now give the world back true hip hop

[pontus227]

this was there first song they did

[toniegood]

ONE OF THE BEST DOPEISH VIDEOS EVERY RIP GANGSTARR 

[fontauzzzzzzzz]

Dizzy Gillespie oo yeah

[shimshamable]

@rixxn give em bieber for guru and soulja boy for big L they both trash beats but man u gotta keep wayne! we can also give them kanye, chris brown

[123456789imthatguy]

@shimshamable you would rather keep wayne over jeezy.... almost wish you weren't on the same side as me lol

[XxXprobeXxX]

im diggin the Dizzy Gillespie sample its chill

[SparadicMathematic]

rip yesderday :(

[JeffStrange]

The first sign of greatness!

[HitTheStixBRODIE]

oh man this is old school

[MRRWJ2]

Their dancing makes me want to dance. Today's rappers make me want to get Cola and some chips. True story.

[moufasfoumas]

@MRRWJ2 you dont know how much i agree.! here is the school..

[robert140602]

Guru,as big a loss as Presley,imho.

[roomtek]

a night in tunisia

[GeneralMonkMonk]

Rule Eye Power, God

[Rainham1968]

Such a brilliant duo. Guru with his conscious lyrics and Premier working the decks like a man possessed. Two geniuses in their own right that should never have split up. RIP Guru!

[westcoastserbia]

Rest In Power god

[demvids]

life aint fuckin fair!!, a year later i'm still asking why Guru?

[1phreshprince1]

God Is Just Greedy Taking All The Good Rappers For Himself

[TheDipset1233]

guru was the fuckin man. had swag and had his mind on straight

[NotoriousANT24]

No more Mr. Nice Guy

[LinJapanese]

14 people didn't think for a moment...

[TTAM27hipHOP]

there are three words that i want to manifest for guru...

FUCK YOU SOLAR!!

i will kill that nigga when i see that bitch

[JustKnowz]

@RixxN - YOU HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD WITH UR COMMENT DUDE- LMAO!! Lil Wayne aint as bad as the rest on ur list though, but still - good comment :D

[koka270]

fuckin great classic, hey men i love it,

[dpark41gbtripog]

OMFG!!! I REMEMBER 1ST SEEIN THIS JOINT ON YO MTV RAPS IN 88 OR 89 WHEN I WAS A SHORTIE!!!

[OOOLDSKOOOOOL]

knowledge knowledge

[1UpGamers]

Damn, I feel like throwin on a lumberjack shirt and some shades, then just dancin.

[PoorPantsPictures]

this shit samples Dizzy Gillespie's 1962 "Night in Tunisia" and being a 1988 jam, is therefore the first jazz rap song ever. that's fucking dope

[BJSteigner]

Gang Starr..I have many of their albums. This is from No More Mister Nice Guy.

[jimmyhopkins15]

HIP HOP'S HOPE DIED WITH KEITH!

[FlashKid456]

Dizzy Gillespie - Night In Tunisia 

[hooper20088]

I loveeeeee youuuuu guuuuuruuuuuuuuuuuuu

[westwatford]

he like one of the illest emcee ever, if not he was the illest!

no doubt

[MrDirtdevil91]

I don't know why Guru had the impression that Premier took his spotlight, I think each one made the other better... Premier wasn't all in the videos like Diddy or anything, I just think it was all that junk solar put in his ear. RIP Guru, wish they could have put the childish crap beside & reunited & send solar back to the rock he came from under

[stevesk8r]

@MrDirtdevil91 well Premier definitely got more exposure, but i think we should let guru rest easy

[Ogpimpnken]

Rest In Peace Keithy E, may God Bless Your family!

[MrSckratch]

Gangstarr is the best!!!!

Old school is the best!!!!

and yap - the good hip-hop died with Guru :(

R.I.P. Guru - best MC

[walishakur313]

peace god r.i.p i remember i hear this in elementary school ur first nationwide single i was a fan ever since much respect

[jairoronaldo16]

I love that he used the Malcom X impression

R.I.P Guru

[Siska0Robert]

a night in tunisia!

[MrDirtdevil91]

@Siska0Robert Bird Parker & DJ Premier! Imagine if they really did collab on a Gang Starr album...

[willwelsh816]

@MrDirtdevil91 I thought this was a Dizzy Gillespie song that they sampled?

[shiznit1101]

@willwelsh816 dizzy wrote it but he played it with parker a lot i believe

[yanfrom1987]

ALLOVER D BEST YET

[denzelsnipes69]

I didn't know Malcolm X could rap!

[agentbl]

@denzelsnipes69 That's funny, dude. You never knew that Malcom X could rap. How hilarious.

[denzelsnipes69]

@agentbl Glad you liked it. I do what I can.

[orangesfromlondon]

Primo looks sooo young!

[nojusticenoweed]

@orangesfromlondon because its for 1989...^^

[orangesfromlondon]

@nojusticenoweed :) I know its still strange...

[naztybmxchukova]

the first song they did together RIP GURU

[NorEEzta]

These are the wor words that I man man mani-fest.

[fukwaynecampaign2]

"I got a real objective here

i am effective here, cause I select a clear

message to all"

"My fate is to be, cold makin history

i use sincerity, but Im so very deep"

He clearly knew how his life would turn out, if u listen to the rhymes it almost seems as hes reliving his lyrics, Top 5 of all time, there will never be any1 with the unique flow and swagger such as him, and swagger isnt something u put on in front of a camera, its something that you are born with, and he clearly was, R.I.P. GURU

[fukwaynecampaign2]

why would guru wanna reincarnate to this wretched world when his soul rests on higher planes of life? Hes a messenger send to inform you on whats going on and he clearly finished his job and a life well lived, without a lesser word, G.O.D.

Gifted Unlimited Rhymes Universal GURU

[klocart]

We wil miss You, Rest in Peace

[elliottfour]

ALWAYS thinkin about the GURU...REST IN BLESS GOD:}

[hyltron]

R.I.P. to a true hiphop prophet. I can only hope that you will reincarnate amongst the new generation to help resurrect this endangered lifestyle. You were the theme music to some of the best times of my life.

One love Guru.

[DTOXuno]

R.I.P homeboy!

[mikeygeneral]

May god bless your soul. I'm soooooo thankful you were in my life along with premiere. I used to run home from school to watch Video Music Box. I didn't think he would die just like that. I always thought he would be like 65 and i would be 50 and see him on the street somewhere and admire his gray hair and music. God, I miss him already and it hasn't even been a month. May you lay in the bosom of GOD.

[mikeygeneral]

If you see Solar anywhere - Spit in his face. He needs a good hawk from the throat. Yeah - You know that yellow , Slime shit that got a lil blood in it cause you brung it from so deep in your throat ? Premiere will always be better than you. You Bitch. You lied on the sick and dying. May god curse you and your seeds for these actions.

[RixxN]

Please GOD !

give us back Guru & L

and we'll give u

Justin Biber

Soulja Boy

[sakis22946]

@RixxN oh ye..!!!

[keepthapinit]

@RixxN You forgot to add Gucci Mane and Plies...

[ineedsomescrilla142]

@RixxN it would probably cost a hundred million of each of those characters to get back 1 L and another for Guru

[danksdaone]

@RixxN  Agree 100%. Well, 50%.. We can keep Wayne. That dude brings passion to his work.. Keep Wayne !! He's gifted. The 30% for sjb and 20% for Bieber.Give those fuckers back..

[Cream794]

@RixxN

Don't forget Tony D. He was an awesome producer!

[MarshallMahtersIII]

@RixxN , WELL REPRESENTED !!!!!!!!!!! that's a real comment, keep it up for the real hip hop son !!!

[quinnweller]

@RixxN Shut the fuck up with that gay ass comment, that's posted on every single video and bitching about those people only makes them more famous. gtfo

[bigsneakertees]

@RixxN let,s not forget plies , gucci , wakca and the other garbage boys on the radio today, i will never disrespect the history of hip hop by putting those bums in that category.

[fruit017]

@RixxN Lord while you're at that also remember to send us J Dilla... Nujabes... and Tupac (we can't seem to find him)

[shamarone]

essentially the first track that fully showcased a true hip hop style/formula (an mc, a dj, samples, and scratching) that would go on to define the name G-A-N-G-S-T-A-R-R for the next 20 + years. your place in history GURU is assured.

[alkaholicks44]

[STREETL1FE167]

R.I.P. Mr. Keith Elam aka Guru. In B.C.W Bronx group home system I loved HipHop but rarely had the dough 2 cop an artists new release. But there were bootleg tapes for like 3 bucks u could buy on the ave. Long story short I got "Step In The Arena" & was bumpin it on a ride 2 the village

[STREETL1FE167]

on a sidenote..you can see the store where i met guru in a video for Chi-Ali called Age aint nuthin but a #...its actually going out of business in that video..
