What up PRSPR...1984 thru 1996 was the golden era of Hip Hop... I grew up and lived in that era, and It's the only thing that will bridge the gap between the elders and the youth today. I do like your reaction and you sound like a leader that your generation so badly needs. Lots of Peace ...
What’s good fam! I feel you on that, I never really realized that Hip Hop was the only thing to bridge the gap between the elders and the youth that’s really an amazing thing right there. Thank you very much fam, that really means a lot! Much love fam 💯🙏🏾
Damn, guru on this track keeps your ear drum massaged. DJ premier scratches are damn too wicked on this monotone beat. Boy !!! This is what I call PUNCHLINES EXECUTION.
Cameo in the video, Dj Premier & Group home in the back seat of the car, (Lil Dap & Melachi The Nutcracker) & of course the borough of Brooklyn. You should react to Group Home - Supa Star Group Home - Suspended in time
That’s so true, nowadays rappers don’t even speak English on the track 🤦🏾♂️ But they get praised for staying in certain pockets and flow patterns which makes no sense to me whatsoever. I agree, all the stuff I’ve reacted to from the golden era had amazing beats and samples
Hip-hop started with the DJs. DJ Kool herc is the Godfather of Hip Hop. He took two turntables and Blended the breakbeats for MC's to rhyme over and break dances to dance to.
PRSPR You should absolutely react to it. Another one of my favorites. Krs-1 is also one of the all time great MC’s. He is dubbed The Teacher. You’ll find his earlier tracks like “South Bronx” & “The Bridge is Over,” under BDP(Boogie Down Productions).
I’ll add that song to my list along with those two other songs you mentioned. I only heard one Krs-1 song which was Outta Here and I really enjoyed that song. Thank you for the requests fam
New “rap” is fake hip hop. It’s sold to 14 year old boys and girls. Real hip hop in the 80’s and 90’s was sought after by us kid because it was nasty, jazzy, funky and dope.
I couldn’t have said it any better, it makes me mad how the kids dictate what’s hot and what’s not because of social media. I feel like the gatekeepers should’ve done a better job putting an end to the garbage shit before it took off
Notice U haven't done any Tribe ... Check Out: A TRIBE CALLED QUEST - JAZZ (We've Got The) / BUGGIN' OUT Music Video ... The Greatest Rap Group of My Lifetime .. Too Many Hits .. Classic Albums .. New Generation is always blown away by them ...
I recently reacted to Electric Relaxation by them, I’m working on getting that video up sometime this week since it got blocked. I’ll throw those other requests in the mix
I already did a reaction to that track on my channel, I really enjoyed that track. It’s one of my favorite old school tracks that I’ve reacted to so far
Record scratches came before DJ Premier,, but he elevated it to an art form. Making scratching a melodic instrument within the music, as opposed to sound effects over the music. Maybe the DJs to popularize scratching are Terminator X, Jam Master Jay, and Jazzy Jef. They used the Technics turntable, concord needle and introduced transform scratching. This is what Premier ran away with.

classic joint !! i was blessed to had met guru and dj premier and bumpy knuckles back in 2003 and got one of my vinyls signed.... and the mono tone style was created by RAKIM anyone after him is following his style ...
Love the classics, I know you probably get recommendations all the time, there’s a song I’d love to see you react to. Traveling man by mos def. At the very least give it a listen man. You will love it.
Funny thing is some of DJ Premier best song versions are the edited versions cuz he scratches out the cursing and creates a remix of the song. Often I would get the radio version of a DJ Premier song to hear how he creatively covered up lyrics with scratches. Dude is a genius for sure. You can hear this on "Shit is Real" by Fat Joe.
Saw you light up when the beat grabbed you. Dope!! Check out “Moment of Truth” & “Just to get a Rep.” Grand Master Flash was the first I remember being recognized for scratching. In my opinion DJ Jazzy Jeff & DJ Scratch are the best.✌🏾
Yea you’re right, the beat was what grabbed my attention especially since I haven’t heard Guru rap on any beat like that before. I’ll add both of those songs to my list, thank you for the requests fam 💯 It’s the first time I’m hearing those names but I’m going to research them because DJ Premier is the only producer I know that’s recognized for scratching and I really enjoy his production so odds are I will mess with their production as well.
Hip hop wasn't originally meant for everyone back in the day u had to be fly to rock with it and understand it now its more pop then hip hop everybody rock with it but everybody doesn't get it! Oh well good review and keep keeping it a buck 💯
Hate how little recognition Guru especially gets. Preemo is recognized as one of if not the best producers of all time, but even people I know who are into old school hip hop don’t know who Guru is a lot of the time. Currently tied for my favorite artist
The essence of Rap music has been stolen by record companies. Rap is an art form and it's being traded in for gimmicks. This song is still relevant till this day.
@@PRSPR yeah its a amazing track.some of the best storytelling ever.do nas one love.krs one.loves gonna get you.divine sounds what people do for money.onyx last days.ghostface killah appolo kids.etc.black moon.who got the props.etc.i grew up with old school rap music in the 1980s.word up son
I miss scratches if you want to hear the originater of the transformer scratch listen to DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince..The Magnificent..back when Will was rapping had a bad rep but they were for the times and Jeff still doing it still dope as ever.
Please go check on your own Freshco and Miz "We don't Play". Late ninety's yes DJ premier is that guy. On your own time watch the video. After you see it, your going to think about airing it.
CHARLEMAGNE THE GOD SAID IT ABOUT 15 YEARS AGO, WACK IS THE NEW HOT. UNFORTUNATATLY THAT RINGS TRUE TODAY IN HIP HOP. WHILE WE'RE ON THE SUBJECT MIGHT I SUGGEST THE SONG "CROSSOVER" BY THE GROUP EPMD. THEY TALK ABOUT THESE EXACT SAME THEMES BEING DISCUSSED IN THE GANGSTARR SONG YOU JUST REACTED TO. THIS SONG IS ALSO FIRE.
For those of you living on the moon and don’t real hip hop and listen to that bubble gum rap sh!t today… 90’s hip hop is undefeated in this music game… and the Guru’s flow is real and profound.. that’s why it will always be hit…
My G, lol! You need to study more DJs, lol! Premier is dope and dangerous, but there are plen-ty of ill DJs. Peep DJ Babu (Beat Junkies, Dilated Peoples), Mix Master Mike (Invisible Skratch Pickles, Beastie Boys), etc
The labels don't make them do that. They're just a bunch of wannabes. They're sellouts for attention and money. Hold the "Artists" responsible, stop bailing them with the idea that a label makes them act that way. They're just sellouts. All the HipHop songs you love and respect came from a record label of some sort.
They definitely make them push dumb down music to dumb down the population, that’s a fact fam. Many artists have spoke on this fact, I’m sure you’ve heard the term “industry plant” before. Yea they are sellouts, they don’t mind pushing negative music for money. It’s their fault but I blame the labels too, many artists have spoken out against Lyor Cohen and his influence in music but he’s just one of the few behind it. Plus you think its a crazy coincidence all the rappers fit one mold which is Lil Wayne: face tats, lean rap, colorful hair, etc. Look at a few of the songs I included below plus an interview talking about it. th-cam.com/video/7E9kuO2SsYA/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/ItyPodPMcfU/w-d-xo.html (Go to 3:20) th-cam.com/video/2JD6qt7Sbrs/w-d-xo.html (Interview from Prodigy)
This is one of DJ Premiers biggest production failures. It was intended to sound overly commercial and pop so to fit the overall concept of Gurus rhymes about selling out (to gain mass appeal). Instead he created an absolute banger that fits the rest of the album perfectly. 😎
PRSPR Fam Guru is another one he loves San Francisco in the 90s he used to come to my neighborhood and hang hang with my big homies my neighborhood is called Fillmoe here in SF and I’m talking he was really on the block in the projects chilling not just in a hotel for the show he is a wild dude he even shouted out my neighborhood on the back of one of his album covers too show you it was real and named specific guys he knew my big brother would hang with him every time he came
I'm 56 years old and I been listening to gangstar for years to this day good to see a young man listening to real rap rest in peace guru
just love it i see the new generation listen to real rap. kudos
