In a club in Orlando back in the mid 90's and they bumped this instrumental for like 15 minutes straight. I stood right next to the speaker and was in heaven.
My year Echo Pistols to silos Dolo solo Otto R2D2 Minuture torpedoes Collapse your matrix's on Cee3pee O's Millieum Skywalker Falcon hyper drive 1 mill light year Stretch it to give a distance Heavy resistance Lite hands that tap your jaw Sunny Liston I rather be dead and broke Instead in jail for the rest of my life rich, pinch per square inch Head went off Seen how's stomach flench
Snitch Is when you went wrong Then you tell on somebody Illegally bread is long Hammer bring drama and pain Swung upon Slummer Judge said y a coffee pot Oath Hit him in a head with a loaf He supposed to wonder around Peanut gallery cracking jokes in the background Rap sheet so profound 7 felony convictions Non hideous 92A1164 7th letter is O In Christopher 7 continents G is the 7th letter in the Supreme Alphabet Ready down set Jackie Robinson 42
Amazing that humans can appreciate and emotionally react to a 12-minute jazz piece, a 40-minute symphony and a 3 second loop. A testament to the versatility and breadth of music. No matter what, we are always responding to the moment and the whole simultaneously.
WOOOOWW, I never even realized it was a 3 second loop, it almost sounds like there are alternating high and low keys at the end of every pause, but it's an illusion.. you can trick yourself into hearing it both ways. WTF... This is why I love hip hop!!!!
Still remember being in the studio when guru wrote this. It was magic. Nobody could find a flow to this beat and he figured it out within the first 5 minutes
This beat is simple but pure science by one of the fucking greatest!! Premier is a mad scientist!! Love this dude and Guru!! Continue to Rest in Rhyme Guru!!
If you dont like these beat you dont know bout HipHop. This gotta be 1 of the illest beats of all time throughout the HipHop era. I had heard it before but never really got into, since recently. Dats cus lately ive been searching for some good HipHop n have found many good old school stuff. This here is good music 4 da soul.
The way Premo scratched on this was just groovy! I must have written a thousand raps to this beat over the years and I couldnt think of a better sound to vibe to when this came out. By the way, shots to all you hip-hop trivasists out there -- the scatch Premo uses is off Da Youngstas "Pass Da Mic". Oz, Brooklyn
I remember hearing this song on BET after dark and I was young 14 year old that was obsessed with 2pac. Back then, we didn’t have mp3 players and my good friend Nayeli was a hustler and she would sell burn cds of songs she could get from Limewire, I always used to hit her with that old school shit after I hear of Gang Starr
i cant help but comment to this vid in the form of a flow i'll never forget this feelin/ back when hip hop was gold r.i.p. Guru your legacy forever lives in my soul til the end of days/ my inspiration grows old in this story that im writin i hope one day it gets told.
Close your eyes and image a late winters night. Snow covers the landscapes in total whiteness and all you can hear is the sound of heating systems from nearby houses and its so cold u can see your own breath. Every time I hear this song I picture this and that puts me in a very peaceful state of mind.
One of the hardest and most sought after sounds in the game. Premier is truly PREMIER. The catalog speaks for itself but damn if this doesn't go harder than Ron Jeremy in the 80's...
I wasnt born until '96 but i been hooked on this song since Tony Hawk 4 bro. I love how the old games introduced my generation to alot of the old school classics man.
No way, you'll never make it Come with the weak shit, I'll break it Step into my zone, mad rhymes will stifle ya Lines like rifles go blast when I kick some ass A lot of rappers be like one time wonders Couldn't say a fly rhyme if there was one right under Their noses, I hate those motherfuckin' posers But I'm so real to them it's scary And with my unique skills, nah, you can't compare me And no, we don't make wack tracks And all the suckers get pushed back when I'm kickin' real facts I represent, set up shit like a tent, boy You're paranoid 'cause you're a son like Elroy And you'd be happy as hell to get a record deal Maybe your soul you'd sell to have mass appeal Money's growin' like grass with the mass appeal Money's growin' like grass with the mass appeal Mass appeal Oh yes, I'm greater than all MC's When I breeze, give me room please I be like fascinatin' when I be updatin' Cuttin' off wack kids, pullin' their trump cards I thump hard, and make 'em say that I'm God Niggas be pretendin' they're hardcore Never know the meaning of (raw) But I get props like a slogan And no man could ever try to diss when I kicks my jam Lyrically def and connectin', complete mic wreckin' No double checkin', vocals kill like weapons But if I have to, I go all out with no mic Yeah, that's right, 'cause I survived mad fights And for my peeps I truly care 'Cause without some of them I wouldn't be here And they all know how I feel 'Cause suckers be like playin' themselves to have mass appeal Money's growin' like grass with the mass appeal Money's growin' like grass with the mass appeal Money's growin' like grass with the mass appeal Money's growin' like grass with the mass appeal I know I'm dope, but don't wet that I've suffered setbacks, but now I'm makin' greenbacks Just like baggy slacks, I'm crazy hip-hop Check one two and you don't stop Your head'll bop when I drop my crop of pure bomb Just like the seashore, I'm calm But wild, with my monotone style Because I don't need gimmicks Gimme a fly beat and I'm all in it Word is bond, I go on and on For you it's tragic, I got magic like wands So I'ma end this lecture and I bet ya Those who kick dirt, in due time I'm gonna get ya 'Cause I be kickin' the real While they be losin' the race tryna chase mass appeal Money's growin' like grass with the mass appeal Money's growin' like grass with the mass appeal Money's growin' like grass with the mass appeal Money's growin' like grass with the mass appeal Mass appeal Mass appeal Mass appeal Mass appeal
@CarsRapTrack The full song has such deep feeling to it. To me its like: late, late night driving, feeling the energy of the late night streets, city-scapes outside your window, running the Brooklyn avenues and highways with lights in the distance... I am an original Golden Era Hip Hop fan, a New York City native - I have huge love for Gang Starr and Primo. This IS one of the best songs and beats he ever made - but I have to agree with you... the instrumental is just a little... flat?
