[LankyGarry]

r.i.p

[umojah]

R.I.P guru! i used the tape all the shows,but ended up snapping most the video's due to overplaying!!they sure dont make them like this anymore....

[wetjam]

so classic

[bigghost27]

i remember having this on a VHS tape lol Anyone remember getting up early on a Sat morning on the East Coast to tape YO MTV Raps at like 10am??? lol i was 15 and stayed taping over my sisters favorite tv shows lol Anyone guilty of the same?

[sarznewjarz]

@bigghost27

not old enough to be doin that but I ain mad atcha Dread I woulda done the same

[Johnny8109]

@bigghost27

No guilt in that meng !!

[ItsNLable]

@bigghost27 no dont remember that, but i do remember i did the same in Holland.....

[cmuratf73]

@bigghost27 Actually in my case, it was my dad's video cassette I recorded over...Ouchhh. And I was maybe 14-15 years living in Haiti at the time, I grew up watching this man and to see what rap music has become now, it's a shame. Now it is all about who can make who the most money quickly and not focus on longevity. Guys like lil wayne won't be listened to 10 years from now and there will always be the rap music from the 1980s, and mid 1990s. Old School Rap 4EVER.

[togonumber]

@bigghost27

Four of the dopest lines in a row ever spit by anyone. Peace out GURU! See ya on the other side homie.

[UH8ME]

[thisonerightMFhere]

Still in great shock. You and Premier changed the way I listened to Hip Hop forever back in the days.

R.I.P. my brother.

[STEPASAUR]

[gregasterisk]

premier was my DJ and producer idol. i would tape these performances and rewind and watch over and over what he was doing on the tables. real live cuttin and scratchin with that great original rhythmic style

[DCP1292]

damn i wish i was alive to see this. 1992 is the year i was born. sigh...=/

[WadeWestTv]

preem cuttin it up 4real no fake shit. real cuts!!!!!!!!

[turlus0072]

Dam B. I been lookin for this vid for YEARS. this right here made me wanna be a DJ. Primo took a funk sample and 3 words and made hip-hop. van dam that's talent

[ixi57]

puhuhuu...dope ! ;D

[streetliferz]

ONE of THe BEST eject the REST, know'm sayin'

[streetliferz]

he performin dat shyt live and sounds like a studio-record ... they are untouchable.

All POWER 2 GURU hope you get well sooon.

[groundpounder35]

Damn this version is better than the original.

[SCHMOOVNESS]

take it personal is a grand puba cut

[Deanboy2007]

Wow fucking WOW. Unbelievable. Makes you wanna hop in a time machine and take that ass back to the early 90s. Seriously. You know the sad thing is: We'll never see a generation of rappers like this ever again, let alone MTV coverage of Hip Hop in such a supportive way.

[payless1981]

MTV needs to bring shows like this back. It's all full of crappy reality and game shows now.

[iiNDiTC]

fuck Solar...bring back the Gang Starr! Peace and Love to Guru, Premo and Jeru

[KLAP215]

Real HIPHOP!

[metrotheme]

It took me all of those years to realize that Primo was cutting Brand Nubian on the hook.

[JuracidFive]

One of the sickest DJs in hip-hop

[rcole718]

I miss live Fridays. Main Source's "Fakin the Funk" performance is still classic when Ed starts going off on Vanilla Ice, BET, and Young MC at the end.

[AestheticFlavor]

Thank you! These were the days! This was authentic Hip-hop.

[Hydro2oo9]

yo im lovin these yo mtv raps videos. class.

[gallantfellow]

Classic... ain't it funny how style comes back around?...just look at Guru's getup..ha

[jvcforce]

They performed this song on Jay Leno too.

[EAZYDUZIT95]

Really? That's kind of odd.

[jvcforce]

They were on Jay Leno when Branford Marsalis was the leader of Tonight Show Band. Branford Marsalis and DJ Premier did Buckshot LeFonque, so it is not surprising that Gang Starr was invited to the show.

[electronicchronic]

i dont care how dope some one is. Id Never sit between some guys legs

[7Supernova7]

@electronicchronic haha, true

[sanceations]

@electronicchronic DAMN! I NEVER NOTICED.... A CHICK WOULD'VE BEEN MORE ACCEPTABLE....LOL

[Etcher]

@electronicchronic hahaha

[frankyrocksmyrocks]

@electronicchronic for real. seen this vid 30 or + times and never noticed that. probably the suggestion of some studio brainiac.

[mistamontiel]

@electronicchronic L0L the intro. Who is that poor brotha ? Dang. L0L

[mentalect]

@electronicchronic 

[pungisotu]

[bigghost27]
