I remember searching for this beat for years man , times i would just hum the beat but couldnt place the artist lol , watched new jersey drive and heard it in the background it was slowed down but i remembered the beat and boom!
*_Matthew 11.28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."_* *_Luke 19.10 for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.”_* _Jesus Christ loves you. Repent and be saved. Only Jesus Christ saves. God bless you, and the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you and your family._ -
Guru doesn’t have to be mentioned as a top MC by commercial stations, anyone that says they follow Hip Hop and true MC’s know he’s a top lyricist. Thank You Gangstarr RIP Guru
@@nickster1059 with my monostone style .. Like I said, people usually go quiet when this track comes on. That's the only compliment he needs.. "While they be losin the race tryin to chase mass appeal..." Did u not understand the message of the song? 😉. Definitely also recommend "Hip Hop Fury" by GZA (1999) for a similar track that makes people quiet. You'll love it! And I've been to Amsterdam. Cool city. Nice people. Very trustworthy. I'm American from Los Angeles. I remember this one cab driver I had in Holland back in 1999 put on Kool Mo Dee in his CD player when he realized I was American. The way that DJ premiere and RZA take clips of Jazz and turn it into something truly special is amazing
@@levelofsnipes7378 Absolutely 💯 Definitely 💯❤️ Agree With You 👋😇🔥🙏💖💎🏆🏆💎💖💯🙏❤️🔥👋😇 One Thing's For Sure, They, Especially Many Others, Deserve To Be In The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Hands Down For Sure 🏆
I am 45x and was bumping this on cassette with my Sony Walkman back in 95. Still tho, drop the old fart shit, hip hop is just evolving. Shit was real back then still real now. You just have to dig deep to find it.
I dont agree, this beat is so chill and smooth and lack of jnstrumental, you can rap under the beat, unlike other other beats where you try to syncronize the rhyme to the beat, here you can freestyle. I guess the technique its to rap under the beat and only upon at the ryhme of the verse. Im no expert, but do love the beat too
“And you will happy as hell to get a record deal, maybe your soul you will sell to have mass appeal” still get goosebumps when I hear those bars. Guru was waay ahead of his time. Rappers are selling their souls to have mass appeal in 2023.💯

Ahead of his time yes, but to be real this was roughly around the time when a lot of “real” MCs were writing lines & even whole songs about hip-pop sell-outs
The Golden Age of Hip Hop Came and Went. Now the youngsters are doing their thing. Just have to appreciate that you can choose what to listen to. I guess.
What is released today shouldn't really be labelled as hip hop. This right here, this is hip hop. That garbage from today is something else. It's like calling Heavy Metal, Rock and Roll. Yeah, there's lead and bass guitars, drums and vocals. But they're different.
2023 - I saw a guy dancing to this at the corner of Washington & La Brea in LA this morning. Everyone at the nearby bus station was vibing. Gang Starr forever
Gang Starr is underrated ASF, they deserved some multi million views for this clip alone and they also deserved this for most of their clips, they are the goat of the mid 90's rap
I'm someone said " Full Clip is a better double album, in 98 than Life After Death, I may agree.... Premier , c.s pool hall 👿 LEGENDARY... Marlins 03''''
@lalaready so telling the truth is hating 😂 and I've met them both and they Rep the Borough thoroughly R.I.P G.ifted U.nlimited R.hymes U.niversal was a awesome dude to build with and you have to really stop using words you don't understand lol P.E.A.C.E AND BLESSINGS!!!

Sorry fucked up the source. It was Vic Juris Horizon Drive. The Tom Scott Today sample was of course T.R.O.Y. Pete Rock & CL Smooth. Equally brilliant I may add.
@Kelly Mosley I'm 54 this was my joint back then and still on my Playlist especially since I grew up in East New York where they lived and are driving in the video. 💯💯💯✊🏾
Real hip hop! Yes!! Shout out to the incredible underrated great hip hop group Gang Starr! R.I.P. GURU. Shout out to one of the greatest hip hop producers of all time DJ Premier( aka Primo). Brooklyn dudes all day!

"Just like the seashore, I'm calm, but wild, with my monotone style. Because I don't need gimmicks, give me a fly beat and I'm all in it." All you see today is gimmicks. RIP Guru.
Now i'm 43 years old and still listend this Songs. It was a very, very nice time and i was so ston... My Childs know nothing from this (; Thank goodness
Jorge Perez i wish i could've lived during this era of rap. Im only 14 but man am I glad my dad showed me this golden music. It bothers me that some kids my age disrespect these legends and they dont know much so theyre ignorant because their parents just never showed them or their parents are extremely young
One of the illest hiphop beats ever. Top 5 for sure. Guru destroyed this. The beat was made specifically for him. You can tell how synergetic the sound is
HI AND HOW ARE YOUS NOR DIS RESPECT PLUS IM NOT TRYNA HIT ON YALL IN A WAY BUT ITS TRUE IT FEELS LIKE THIS INSTRUMENTAL BEAT WAS ESP1 ESTABLISHED FOR GURU I AGREE EVEN THOUGH IM A 23 YEAR OLD FROM SOUTH AFRICA
Guru U will Alwayz be in my Hall of Fame homie. Remember seeing u few times, In the Barbershop in Brklyn, at The Beez store on west 8th st, etc & U always had positive things to say. How many people tell other kids & people to 'Go to school, get a good education, have fun but stay out of Trouble', Not many. Most people strive out of negativity. U strive out of Positivity & other peoples successes. I do to, & take your Wise Lessons with Me in My & My Sons path of Life! RIP Big brother Guru! #Desciple #5Percenter #BkNyc #SBDcrewwww!!!!
