So did i. I had it on my headphones when people still had those. Just commuting to work and feeling good with it. Great music helps us get through the day.
Man … this comment was 11 years ago. I keep forgetting how long ago we lost Guru. Also something about being able to connect with comments from years past and see the love of music stay strong throughout decades … I love it
Loved this track as a kid and all of Guru's "Jazzmatazz" albums! Shout out to the Gangstarr Foundation: Primo, Lil' Dap, Malachi, Big Shug, Jeru Da Damaja, Afu-Ra, Bumpy Knuckles, M.O.P, MC Solaar. Rest In Peace Keith Edward (Guru) Elam, one of the best to ever to do it on the mic without a doubt! Your legend is solidified in memory.
I bought this CD two weeks before graduation in 1993. I didn't grow up with cable. Seeing the video for the first time 28 years later gives this song new life. I never knew that was Big Shug singing at the end.....Gangstarr is one of the Best Yet......
This helps me a lot with my study , so motivational , I'm going to be in the second year of studying medics, I hope that I will be a good doctor to help the poor ❤️
Guru did his thing on Jazzmatazz 1and 2. Both had innovative collaborations as he explored a different direction in Hip Hop.. Love the sample on this one.. Barry White and the Love Unlimited Orchestra..Satin Soul. R.I.P. GURU
"THE" Jazzmatazz Track par excellence!!! Ronny Jordan's jazzy Guitar gives this Track the delicate Jazzy sound I hoped to get when purchasing "Vol.1" (The Volume I prefer). In my eyes (ears) this a Masterpiece! R.I.P. GURU & Ronny Jordan... we miss you.
I feel this today. It popped up on BBC RADIO 6 @ silly o’clock. Been singing it in my head since..0755 BST.....if I could get on my kit in my terraced house oh boy. I got a date with this. Gorgeous, wonderful and for today x
I worked so hard in my days. Would listen to this song to keep me going. Gotta make moves. Need the cash. Man that ain't good at all. It's good to fit in society but working your ass off shouldn't be necessary. Relax and you will live longer. There is time to play or we would not have great music at all. It's a brilliant song describing that. You can delay stuff....nothing wrong with that. People need relaxation in industrial society. Have a song, have a dance. You'll live longer. :) Don't ever let people call you a lazy bastard....they don't know what the fuck they are talking about. Most of us are good folks just caught up in a bad society. You have no choice about that.
Yeah... U ain't never lied about that one. But some people just caught up in this Capitalist system, that they forgot how to enjoy life. Enjoy life, you only live once.
That's stupid humans are meant to work either the smallest of things , god is a creator and god is not lazy !!! We are made in his image , doesn't mean work your butt off but working is good for human psyche
I bought Jazzmatazz in 1993 when it first came out. It was the second CD I had every purchased. I really like it and this song. I came to TH-cam to just read the comments as Guru's birthday was earlier this week. He was such a force during his time in the game. I never knew there was a video for this song! I had no idea that was Big SHug singing background vocals. I like all the Jazzmatazz projects but I think the first one may still be my favorite, but the third is the most complete...
😏 I been looking for this instrumental since I was 12 so I could cut it up on the 1's and 2's and do something else with it. Rest In Peace Guru and thank you. 🙏🏾😌
🔥🔥 So diggin’ this tune!, great memories of happier times! Peeps: Note the subtle Fraggle Rock melody within the chorus’ lyrics too!! 🔥🔥 RIP Guru & Ronnie Jordan - real missed out here 🕊🙏🏿🥺💯🙌🏿✊🏿
Where has all the Funk gone? Keep the fire burning❤
2024 CLASSIC...R.I.P TO THE GOD GURU....STILL AND STAY VIBIN..
I used to play this before work. Helped me through the day.
GURU R.I.P.
So did i. I had it on my headphones when people still had those. Just commuting to work and feeling good with it. Great music helps us get through the day.
Same here!!!!!!

This album is an absolute jewel. R.I.P GURU.

Unbelievable right? I'm happy I saw them both live in Amsterdam - Paradiso, may they rest in peace.
Oh no ...never knew both passed
@@MrElevatormusic99wish I was there! Wanneer was dat? Misschien was ik toen nog niet eens geboren?
Why is this track so awesome! This is god’s chosen doing it that’s why!
This song was my anthem when it came out and still is.

Wow, one of the best tunes of the whole Jazzmatazz Project.
I gotta make moves! Peace
Timeless, just timeless man.
I love his voice so much. Smooth and mellow. Thank God for those days with such fantastic singers and musicians.
From boyhood to manhood this track was my anthem
I used this as the melody for my alarm clock for a while to get myself motivated.
this is a great song - his lyrics are so inspiring......R.I.P.
What an amazing time she had. Wham, TSC...love you DC Lee. Legend!
I bought this CD two weeks before graduation in 1993. I didn't grow up with cable. Seeing the video for the first time 28 years later gives this song new life. I never knew that was Big Shug singing at the end.....Gangstarr is one of the Best Yet......
pure motivation
RIP Both... great musicians :(

This helps me a lot with my study , so motivational , I'm going to be in the second year of studying medics, I hope that I will be a good doctor to help the poor ❤️
Good luck with your choice of career.
Rgds from England.
The sky's the limit they say. I'll tell you now my friend, go for the stars!
Dope!!!
Dope!!!
Dope!!!
How bizarre, both Guru AND Ronny Jordan have passed away in meanwhile. May they rest in peace.
# Master Cuts
Guru did his thing on Jazzmatazz 1and 2. Both had innovative collaborations as he explored a different direction in Hip Hop.. Love the sample on this one.. Barry White and the Love Unlimited Orchestra..Satin Soul.
R.I.P. GURU
Beautiful, RIP both of you gentlemen
"THE" Jazzmatazz Track par excellence!!!
Ronny Jordan's jazzy Guitar gives this Track the delicate Jazzy sound I hoped to get when purchasing "Vol.1" (The Volume I prefer). In my eyes (ears) this a Masterpiece!

OG GURU#1 (RIP)
2018 and still never no time to play...rip guru
Only the lovely Dee C Lee left out of this trio 😢
But what a stunning song and so descriptive of living n the pandemic era
Dee C. Lee. The Lodgers - Style Council.
I thought her voice sounded familiar!! Loved her in the Style Council, and am a big Paul Weller fan. Rest in Power, Guru and Ronny.
She’s fabulous and also was in the early days of Wham with Andrew Ridgley and George Michael.
One of the greatest songs in existence
I feel this today. It popped up on BBC RADIO 6 @ silly o’clock. Been singing it in my head since..0755 BST.....if I could get on my kit in my terraced house oh boy. I got a date with this. Gorgeous, wonderful and for today x
An anthem fasho!
deserves WAY more views than this!
='(
Classic era... I agree!
RIP GURU! Legendary cut right here!
What a masterpiece
I worked so hard in my days. Would listen to this song to keep me going. Gotta make moves. Need the cash. Man that ain't good at all. It's good to fit in society but working your ass off shouldn't be necessary. Relax and you will live longer. There is time to play or we would not have great music at all.
It's a brilliant song describing that.
You can delay stuff....nothing wrong with that.
People need relaxation in industrial society.
Have a song, have a dance. You'll live longer. :)
Don't ever let people call you a lazy bastard....they don't know what the fuck they are talking about.
Most of us are good folks just caught up in a bad society.
You have no choice about that.
I related to your words man had to comment and say I agree
Spot on brother well said, don’t let capitalism make you feel bad for taking some relax time 💘
Yeah... U ain't never lied about that one. But some people just caught up in this Capitalist system, that they forgot how to enjoy life. Enjoy life, you only live once.
That's stupid humans are meant to work either the smallest of things , god is a creator and god is not lazy !!! We are made in his image , doesn't mean work your butt off but working is good for human psyche
This is perfection
Appreciate you all💯❤️
Gang Starr 4 life!!!

Played this CD in the car with my kids when they were small. Seems to have influenced their musical tastes.
Still blasting this in 2024 💪

"You really ain't no pimp you wimp" hahahahahahaha this guy's a gangsta XD
R.I.P. Guru
Classic songs Long live GURU
Whoa remember buying this back in the day - great track!
How good is this....simple.
2024 still gas
First time in NYC and this song started playing at a rooftop bar while the sun was setting. Surreal and so effing groovy
Nas and Guru the illest
Nas ain't got nothing on the Guru
Nah! Guru & Rakim all the way. Conscious positive hip hop for the wise
Nah... Nas and Guru are different type of rappers, can compare. But had to go with one, I will have to choose Gangstar.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE LEGENDARY GURU!!!!!!
Repose en paix Guru 🙏
2023 man and that shit still sounds like a fire! 🦋
Rest in Peace LEGEND! 🦋
King of Jazzhip-hop.
