I heard snippets from that album look for it on here it sounds fucking dope!!! If there was one thing DJ Premier did wrong it was not promoting these guys more, maybe they didn't want it though idk.
@macnastee absolutely, its funny how all these motherfuckrs that call themselves real and unchanged by society and money are all starting to sound the same!! fuck that mainstream shit, take me back to the days of daily operation and that classic boom bap shit! btw this is an absolute BANGER, rip GURU there will always be a void where you once stood maannnn!
Nas and Jigga don't use him because they are so high level they are concerned with selling millions upon millions of units. It's a hard line to balance between sales and respect. These tracks don't top the Billboard. I don't get it either though, because I think if they released these as singles they could go high. I agree with everything else you said. This is hip hop, basically.
