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!!!!
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!!
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
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
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.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
@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?
Something iv noticed about premo beats is he puts in a sampled bassline thats low pass filtered out thats why the low end sounds so good hes not playing individual bass notes hes playing a sample loop ny state of mind is the ssme among others its a technique dilla used alot to and iv started doing it alot more in my beats
Around this era, roughly ‘93-‘96, that’s what he was doing. Around ‘97, he started playing basslines but how he did it, he blended the bass notes in with his sample chops, so much so that you barely noticed the bass line in some cases…
I think when it comes to hip hop beats i believe the mid 1990s and early 2010s are the best times in my opinion that is both eras i really liked what i heard most of the time

Yessirrrr!
DJ Premiere
on my life
Beat is simple but deadly
+Yasin BMT never said it has to be complex just acknowledge how premier doesn't have to do a lot of work to make a great beat
Ibrahim Adeyemo I'm trying to learn myself bro starting with music theory. Any tips on what else I should be learning?
***** I'm using FL Studio and watching videos from Busy Works Beats. Their videos have been very insightful.
would be better with hooks....scratching
+Edward Gore yeah love dj premiers scratches
The simple beats are the greatest
Faxxxxxxx
K.I.S.S keep it simple stupid. The credo of every established artist.
I still don’t know when all the attention went to trap/grime and those styles.
Kinda kinda not. A complex beat like how rza and mannie fresh arrange theres are hard as well
definitely one of the maddest beats ever made
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.
Beautiful comment bro god bless you my brother!
Really amazing never put it into perspective that way
Simplicity is always best.
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!!!!
Well said
Greatest beat from the Greatest Producer in Hip-Hop history. Still gives chills!
Not rly better than dre

WORD!!! 90'S HIP HOP FOREVER!!!🐐🎧🎤🎶😎
I was born In 04 but 90s hip hop is way better than the stuff put out today
@TheASMRMan Man for real though.
This beat is everything! !! A true classic!!!
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 (PlayStation 2) Classic game. R.I.P. Hip Hop (1980s-2006)
ayeeeee
that game brings back hella memories oh my goodness! my first tony hawk game ever. good times bro
haha yup.
Then do it
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!!
From California. Everytime I heard this track, it said New York. I pray that young brothers turn their attention to this music again.
classic beat this should be in everybody's collection
This and shook ones pt. 2
Indeed can’t forget about glaciers of ice by RZA
Got things heavy on your mind? Play this and clear out the room. Everything will be figured out in the end. HEAVEN CLASSIC
As I literally do that
That's what's up bruh! 👍
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
I remember giving Premo the record with the sample on it. Good times.
I remember dj premiers birth. His mother was over joyed
@@logicalblackman8228 nice, how did you know him?
@@DarthScous3r don't mock us
@@RodJeez as someone who knows his parents personally
I'm sure you are mocking me
I'm 25 and i listen to Old School Rap!! Beatz like these are superior to Beatz that are being played on the radio today.
Love the swing on the beat and that mechanical swooshing sound in the background
DJ premier is the best at making beats
Thee best
One of the bests, not *THE* best
True
What about RZA, Timothy, Dre, Alchemist? Even Zytoven for them street niggas
Why does nobody mention havoc. He created one of the most iconic beats in hip hop
This Beat is just so simple but at the same time so meaningful. One of the most beautiful pieces OG Hip-Hop can get you
Shame on the 94 people that dislike this true hip hop classic, smh.
I get chills every time listening to this track..... the 90s was the best era of real hip hop.... #flatbushbornandraised #videomusicbox
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 introduced me to Gang Starr, since then, they have always been my favorite MC/DJ duo.
New school rap could only wish! I can listen to this all day! RIP!

Legendary beat from the greatest hip hop producer ever

+Avocadobeats123 This beat will make you rip mic for sure.
Avocadobeats123 no doubt
GURU ..... ONE OF THE GOATS...RIP MY DUDE 🎤 🎤 🎤 🎤 🎤....thank you Primo for producing one of the greatest hip hop beats of any era 🎧
Premier is such a master of minimalism. I've been listening to this since the albums release and still hypnotizing me. GOAT

Still gives me chills
One of my favorite instrumentals ever. With or without the lyrics its a cold track.
Simple... Complicated...
Don't matter where it's at.
It's all about the feel and the funk, baby
taking guru's voice off a Gangstarr track is like taking the christ out of Christmas!
hanky panky 🤦♀️🌹😂
🎉🎇🎆💯 yep!!!!
Christ?ChristMASS?🤡💩🤥
Well said
fine with me, we need a whole lot less of that 'christ' bullshit.
A 2 second loop over and over is somehow beast. Amazing.
Lets see you do better oh wait….
Greatest instrumental greatest beat of all time!!!!
too this day, never heard a better beat.....
Timeless music.

Crazy how all the old school games had the best music ever created in it. Now it's dubstep. -.-
audiohope Dubstep is dead so I hope you’re happy lmao
I never heard this great track on a game. Probably I didn't pay attention. But I don't know why this beat reminds of one of Bully's soundtrack.
@@willgamer0849 This song is on Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4, I remember listening to this song while playing when I was younger... This is a masterpiece
@@Yvgog I played every Tony Hawk game except for the Pro Skater ones, They all had great sountracks a bunch of dope hip hop, metal and rock songs.

Dopest beat I've ever heard!

Most masterful and untouchable beat ever!
one of the hardest beats i’ve heard encountered. one of my game winner songs when i play mortal kombat and that’s been since deadly alliance on ps2 🔥

Give me a fly beat and I'm all in it
My favorite instrumental, hands down. I listen to this over and over again. Yes indeed.
one of the best beats of all time
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...
Just heard this on ESPN during Lakers halftime. Hell yeah Premo
Maaaan songs like this make you miss the NY streets, cruising or on the trains, just chilling.😎🗽❤️👊🏾 R.I.P. to the God Guru.❤️

This beat is so great to me just can't mention hip hop music without this sound.
i listen to hella trap and this shit sounds so fucking amazing it’s simple but better than most current day beats i’ve heard 🚫🧢
I play this at least 4 times a week.... Cracking the walls down... Sorry neighbors 😂😂😂💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥

Papoose crushed this joint! R.I.P Guru; your voice was automatically recognizable and your style was new york all day. Premier......🍻!
This beat is so relaxing. Makes me Bob my head 🔥
So funky funky joint I have to take this jam and remix it and rap over it and make it a classic.
I’m from Croatia and I love this
Im from Bolivia.
And love is the same thing i feel for this.

Some rap songs u shouldn't rap over and this is one. Classic
I disagree. Guru killed this beat.

One of my favorite beats. R.I.P Guru
“No way you'll never make it
Come with the weak shit, I break kids
Step into my zone, mad rhymes will stifle ya” - Guru (R.I.P)
I miss the 90s golden Era of hip hop these beats are timeless
This beat is so New York
Truly the most legendary Guru RIP miss them barz
2018 still a hard beat, classic, and timeless
This IS the 90s anyone who was there puts this on headphones and closes their eyes will see it surely.
Best beat ever 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Been looking for this for a while… I didn’t know the song but I recognize the beat from a mile away 🔥🔥🔥 It has a nostalgic feel to it.
2018?
As i always say .. simple& effective
Gang star is from my state Massachusetts but represents NY what an ass but still they are legends This is one of my favorite hip hop beats
only guru is from ma premier if i recall is Texas and guru reps ny cause they gave him a shot and listened to him ma didn't
DarkxBoyxGaming420 NY is better then Massachusetts
Brah I am so glad that I was able to find this fire beat
Who ever created it is GOATED
Wait, wait, wait…. Did u just say whoever created it?? U must be a young mf.
DJ premier, one of the best to ever do it

A BRILLIANTLY TIMELESS BEAT BY DJ PREMIER.
Best instrumental in music history?
