Moment of Truth, one of the best albums of all time far as I am concerned. The combo of Guru and DJ Premier is so potent, it always shocked me that they didn’t get the flowers they deserved
You know, it's really a shame that Guru didn't and doesn't get the credit that he deserves. We live in a time where we give flowers to those that have passed, but for some odd reason, don't nobody wanna give Guru his flowers. It's all good though. I appreciate the work that he done put in. This is always gon be my jam.
Preach. Guru is one of my favourites. If you listen to him without paying much attention, he sounds nice and has a simple flow, but if you dig his lyrics, he really has some dope lines . also he's as old as my dad, being born in '61. This kinda means he's older than most rappers, by atleast 10 years. you can really hear his experience, even in the way he speaks. Rest In Piece Keith.
There's she is again. I always see your comments in all these videos that I click on which has to be like over 100 by now. I had the privilege of seeing Guru in Seattle at a small venue, and he was great. He came out so late though. He was Loungin'.
"And if you thought we'd lose our niche in this rap shit you way wrong I stay up, I stay on, shine bright, like neon Your song's, pathetic, synthetic, like Rayon Fat beats, they play on, want dope rhymes, put me on Word is bond, you know my steez" Still some of the dopest lines I have ever heard 💯
Guru of Gang Starr is the best MC hip-hop rap legend of icon G.O.A.T. He will be missed, R.I.P. Guru you'll be missed 😎👨🏽🦲🕶🎤🐐🎶🎵😞😔😐🙏🏿🌹⚘🪦🕯🕯🕯 He died from Cancer since on April 19, 2010 it's been 11 years
Premier and Guru were just the absolute perfect duo. Two very distinctive styles, recognized by many as some of the best in their crafts, that compliment each other PERFECTLY. Guru with the jazzy, constantly changing flow, and Premo with the absolute top of the ladder boom-bap that leaves Guru the space to speak and play around with his flows, while being so fucking good by itself that you could listen to his beats on repeat to the end of time without getting tired.
The fact that this vid only has 41k views is disrespect of the highest order. What world are we living in?...4 years later 2.1m views. Still not good enough.
His skills are high on par with MF DOOM as my favourite lyricists in my opinion. There recognition wasn't mainstream and evolving around dallar they knew the game wasn't about all that shit. Huge respect to Guru
There is still good music now its not usually popular but it never stopped being made you just have to find it. Check out Homeboy Sandman - The Carpenter (just check out all of Homeboy Sandmans music).Blueprint - Persevere. MURS - Everythung. Eligh - Love Ov My Life. The Grouch - Breath. Lupe Fiasco's whole album Drogas Wave and Tetsuo Youth. (Also Food and Liquor and The Cool). Blu and Exile - Below The Heavens album. Fashawn - Boy Meets World album. KAAN - Concealed The Outro. Jon Connor - Someone Like Me. (His mistake Season 2 is good). Mr. Lif - Let The Rhythm Just. Mr. Lif - Return of The B Boy. Evidence ft. Fashawn - Same Folks. Evidence - You prod. DJ Premier. Kendrick Lamar - The Heart Pt. 1 and 2. Capital STEEZ - Vibe Ratings. Joey Badass - 1999 mixtape. That's just a few.
Man do I miss the 90s hip hop scene. Never will there be a time like this gene again. Tupac, Biggie, WU tang clan, Geto Boys, Conscious Daughters, Method Man, De La Soul, just to name a few ... but my God this list could go on. I loved being a kid in the 90s. Real hip hop.
This version that has been uploaded is inferior to the non official Music video upload which those have been taken down. The contrast and Brightness is too high to where you can barely make out what made this incredibly underrated music video great. Whoever was given the keys to handle the raw file of the MV did an absolute awful job.
"The wackness is spreading like the plague MC's lucked up and got paid But still can't make the grade How many times them wannabes gonna lie? They can't touch the knowledge I personify"
There will never be another Gang Starr in this lifetime. R.I.P to Keith "GURU" Elam. He will never be forgotten by the true lovers of real Hip Hop worldwide.
That takes me back when that song came out in Fall 1997 when I was in 7th grade. You Know My Steez got me pumped up. Thank God their 5th album Moment Of Truth got that Gold certification!! RIP Guru
this song goes beyond real hip hop being subverted by outside entities. this man just like many other hip hop groups back in the day were telling people of the shit that was happening. but this song can be applied to any sort of art being exploited and sucking the soul out of it. video games are another form of art that have gone through the same shit. now its mostly soulless products that we get from all of our entertainment, it almost feels like its done on purpose.
Over time this has become one of my favorite gang starr songs. The lines " this beat is sinister, Premo makes you relax. I'm like the minister while I be lacing the wax" says it all. The video is an homage to THX1138 which is a dystopian science fiction movie. George Lucas' first movie. Highly recommended. Gang Starr is still one of the best yet.
"On the microphone you know that I'm one of the best yet/Some punks aint paid all o' they debts yet/Tryna be fly riding high on the jet set/With juvenile rhymes making fake arse death threats.."
This the first Gang Starr song I ever heard, I think I was 19 back in 2009 and was blown away immediately by Guru flow. The next time I decided to search them and really run through their catalog I was 27. I'm 32 now and I'm sad I missed out on so much of they hype while Guru was still alive.
2023 DJ Premier beats and Guru flow still is FIRE! Gang Starr truly underrated. Rest in peace to one of the best rappers ever Guru you left us some classics brother!
It's bittersweet. They were so exceptional and outstanding together. But in the end, they had acrimony and never resolved it before Elam died. It depresses me some. I'm reminded of how lucky I was to be a part of history though. And like you, I'm disgusted with mumble rap

I bought some canned tea called Steaz. I kept shouting "You know my STEEZ!" So I had to come here and pay homage. I wish Guru was still alive so I could hear him clown and bash on these modern "rappers".
Peace to the God!!! RIP guru,you blessed a generation with knowledge-wisdom,how many years this video was done, he was teaching us back then beware of the people that want to control us all,tell you when to eat,sleep,walk,run,when to piss etc.be original dont be puppet/follower be your own I Self,Lord,&Master
Gangstarr and THX 1138 mashup who could ask for more. Guru was a father when i didnt have one. Taught me so much from 12 in 92 and beyond. RIP to a major role model for all youth.
"I'm like the Wizard of Oz and you look like Dorothy"
Guru was indeed the Wizard of rap! RIP man!
Lost like Dorothy that's what he said.
At least get the line right fam...🤦♂️
It’s 2024 & this tune is still a banger#giveguruhisflowers💯🫶🏾✊🏾
"it's often easier for one to give advice than it is for a person to run one's own life"🔥🔥🔥
I felt this line deep too
💯
This is the reason it hits me...
Always

Moment of Truth, one of the best albums of all time far as I am concerned. The combo of Guru and DJ Premier is so potent, it always shocked me that they didn’t get the flowers they deserved
agree
My 14 year old just asked me if I knew who this was. I said, Son, THIS IS REAL HIP HOP!!
Sadly yes!
Perfect Answer. No Sell by Date
W son
You are blessed, lil nigga is way ahead of his time, ironically...
This is the way
You know, it's really a shame that Guru didn't and doesn't get the credit that he deserves. We live in a time where we give flowers to those that have passed, but for some odd reason, don't nobody wanna give Guru his flowers. It's all good though. I appreciate the work that he done put in.

If you listen to him without paying much attention, he sounds nice and has a simple flow, but if you dig his lyrics, he really has some dope lines . also he's as old as my dad, being born in '61.

There's she is again. I always see your comments in all these videos that I click on which has to be like over 100 by now.
I had the privilege of seeing Guru in Seattle at a small venue, and he was great. He came out so late though. He was Loungin'.
He got them he's very respected
Facts 💯
I do think he gets alot of credit, mostly other mcs, real recognise real
Any one here 2024
Like sands through the hourglass
The classics won’t ever get old 🔥
Timeless from GURU and Preem ❤
Right here!
RIP Guru, from tape deck to Apple Car Play! Still banging!
RIP to Guru, he was a real one!

Yes yes yes
True INDEED 💯
EASILY. he's always been my favorite
Absolutely RIP Guru

Guru and DJ Premier. As good as rap gets.
Listening to this song makes me sad.
The fact that this vid only has 41k views is disrespect of the highest order. What world are we living in?...4 years later 2.1m views. Still not good enough.
Premier and guru was a perfect combination
FACTS!!!
They must have heard you - its getting close to 200K now!
this new generation is the twilight zone 😩
shhhhh
Absolutely baffled that this doesn’t have a higher view count. This beat is undoubtedly a classic!
Great comment. I thought it was just me who felt that beat has been forgotten about. Even after 20 something years it's absolute flames 🔥. RIP Guru.
Loved this beat from the first second I heard it. Classic
The beat alone is the reason it made it to my main playlist. I just close my eyes while listening to this song. Helps guide me through darkness
Real Hip Hop is always underrated nowadays!
I normally listen to it on my cd. Maybe others on vinyl etc. I believe.
He always felt like a rapping Morpheus.
😂 right on never looked at that way
This needs to be played at my funeral
the wackness is spreading like the plague...

Word!!
For real
Don't forget about Premier
and in 2024 from Russia with love to GURU! R.I.P
Listening now that I'm older with understanding, this guy was way underated... Ahead of his time
Does ANYONE know the sample that plays before 00:14
His skills are high on par with MF DOOM as my favourite lyricists in my opinion. There recognition wasn't mainstream and evolving around dallar they knew the game wasn't about all that shit. Huge respect to Guru

It is harder to believe that music is what it is now
😢😢😢
Yep. It was good.
Guru will always be remembered. It's mostly the voice. His lyrics. Premo did well too. Gangstarr for life!
or maybe musician?
Proud to say seen him live, he blew all others out live, 98 Smokin Grooves tour
@@jamesradskijr.9745 Lucky you
One of the dopest artist that walk the planet RIP GURU truly Legendary.
“Cuz I’m dangerous. I come real with this” one of my favorite guru lines cuz it literally claims what he was in hip hop
A divine entity we all got to learn from yo
Totally agree with you, every piece of him is incredible. Mucho respeto from Torreón 🇲🇽 Forever in our hearts and minds RIP GURU .

Hell yea I wish I could’ve saw him live

Man do I miss the 90s hip hop scene. Never will there be a time like this gene again. Tupac, Biggie, WU tang clan, Geto Boys, Conscious Daughters, Method Man, De La Soul, just to name a few ... but my God this list could go on. I loved being a kid in the 90s. Real hip hop.
I agree with you I feel sorry for this generation that don't know good Hip-hop from B.S waterdowned version that's on the radio.
This version that has been uploaded is inferior to the non official Music video upload which those have been taken down. The contrast and Brightness is too high to where you can barely make out what made this incredibly underrated music video great. Whoever was given the keys to handle the raw file of the MV did an absolute awful job.
That channel "Ryk" almost every Music video that he made was copyrighted if I'm not mistaken.
ikr. I remember the original one. it had way less contrast and didn;t have those other scenes with the green stuff in it.
Not only that. The audio quality of the VEVO version is inferior too. It's sounds like a 64 kbps audio track
At least, we still go the music
Yooo fr. Shits too bright and they also cooyrighted the 'rite where u stand' music vid😭
"The wackness is spreading like the plague
MC's lucked up and got paid

@@jamesgibson3716 he wrote so many great lines and verses
@@anthonytruman yes he did bro. Miss this cat a lot..
That THX 1138 vibe. My fave Gang Starr song and there's a mountain to choose from.
Their first 5 albums are all brilliant! So overlooked
George Lucas first feature film
Very good movie too btw.
Truly underrated comment; thank you.
One of the dopest groups to ever touch the 🎤
That takes me back when that song came out in Fall 1997 when I was in 7th grade. You Know My Steez got me pumped up. Thank God their 5th album Moment Of Truth got that Gold certification!! RIP Guru
Love the THX-1138 theme for this video. Hopefully this put fans up on this pre-Star Wars George Lucas gem.
I wonder who directed the video. It elevates the song so much. The Queen also have a THX 1138 inspired video to one of their songs.
Guru's tracks age like fine wine. Keep your Lil pump.
This should have 50 million views
#gangstarr #realhiphop
Naw...... 1billion
this song goes beyond real hip hop being subverted by outside entities. this man just like many other hip hop groups back in the day were telling people of the shit that was happening. but this song can be applied to any sort of art being exploited and sucking the soul out of it. video games are another form of art that have gone through the same shit. now its mostly soulless products that we get from all of our entertainment, it almost feels like its done on purpose.
Preach!
In my top 3: Guru, Nas, Jay. Just my opinion.
Mine is 2pac, Eminem, Jay, Guru, Nas, Rakim
Mines guru, del, hiway 101, tech, nas.
One of my favourite beats of all time
Word
RIP GURU - Gifted Unlimited Rhymes Universal 🙌
Why did I not want this song to end
If she dont like gang starr she aint right for me
🤗He is the Real King of HipHop 👌✌☝
Wow what a blast from the past.. why can’t they make music like this nowadays 👍🏽😎🙌🏾
Over time this has become one of my favorite gang starr songs. The lines " this beat is sinister, Premo makes you relax. I'm like the minister while I be lacing the wax" says it all. The video is an homage to THX1138 which is a dystopian science fiction movie. George Lucas' first movie. Highly recommended. Gang Starr is still one of the best yet.
"On the microphone you know that I'm one of the best yet/Some punks aint paid all o' they debts yet/Tryna be fly riding high on the jet set/With juvenile rhymes making fake arse death threats.."
25 whole years since this gem came out. Still sounds fresh (af)!
This the first Gang Starr song I ever heard, I think I was 19 back in 2009 and was blown away immediately by Guru flow. The next time I decided to search them and really run through their catalog I was 27. I'm 32 now and I'm sad I missed out on so much of they hype while Guru was still alive.
That dude was the truth fact's
This beat is still crazy lol goosebumps...🔥🚨🔥🚨🔥🚨
Guru's flow is smooth like butter 😎🔥🎶👑
2023 DJ Premier beats and Guru flow still is FIRE! Gang Starr truly underrated. Rest in peace to one of the best rappers ever Guru you left us some classics brother!
Shout out from Nepal🎵🇳🇵 This is hip hop
The music video is influenced of THX 1138.
Tecpaocelotl Castillo that movie is underrated too
Last verse is insane
this track was and still is hard body
why cant we go back to this ?
simply a masterpiece. Gang Starr 4ever. Rest eazy Guru
Royce da 59 and dj premier sampled this part in the song BOOM 3:39
Perhaps my favorite hip hop song of all time
In the age of mumble and auto tune rap, it’s nice to be able to listen to Gangstarr and their lyrical masterpieces
It's bittersweet. They were so exceptional and outstanding together. But in the end, they had acrimony and never resolved it before Elam died. It depresses me some. I'm reminded of how lucky I was to be a part of history though. And like you, I'm disgusted with mumble rap
"The real, hip-hop"
"MCing, and DJing from your own mind, ya know?"
"I, I guess right now we should start the show"
Who's the suspicious character strapped with the sounds profound
Similar to rounds spit by Derringers
You're in the Terrordome like my man Chuck D said
It's time to dethrone you clones, and all you knuckleheads
Cause MC's have used up extended warranties
While real MC's and DJ's are a minority
But right about now, I use my authority
Cause I'm like the Wizard and you look lost like Dorothy
The horror be when I return for my real people
Words that split wigs hittin like some double Desert Eagles
Sportin caps pulled low, and baggy slacks
Subtractin all the rappers who lack, over Premier's tracks
Severe facts have brought this rap game to near collapse
So as I have in the past, I whup ass
Droppin lyrics that be hotter than sex and candlewax
And one-dimensional MC's can't handle that
While the world's revolvin, on it's axis
I come with mad love and plus the illest warlike tactics
The wilderness is filled with this; so many people
searching for false lift, I'm here with the skills you've missed
The rejected stone is now the cornerstone
Sort of like the master builder when I make my way home
You know my steez
"You know my steez"
"Let em know, do your thing y'all"
"Keep it live"
"To the beat y'all"
The beat is sinister, Primo makes you relax
I'm like the minister, when I be lacin the wax
I be bringin salvation through the way that I rap
And you know, and I know, I'm nice like that
Work through worldly problems, I got the healing power
When the mic's within my reach, I'm feelin more power
Stealing at least three minutes of every rap radio hour
It's often easier for one, to give advice
Than it is for a person to run one's own life
That's why I can't be caught up in all the hype
I keep my soul tight and let these lines takes flight
The apparatus gets blessed, and suckers get put to rest
No more of the unpure I got the cure for this mess
The wackness is spreadin like the plague
MC's lucked up and got paid but still can't make the fuckin grade
How many times are wannabe's gonna lie?
Yo they must wanna fry, they can't touch the knowledge I personify
I travel through the darkness carrying my torch
The illest soldier, when I'm holding down the fort
("You know my steez")
You know my steez
"Let em know, do your thing y'all"
"Keep it live"
"You know my steez"
"Let em know, do your thing y'all"
"Keep it live"
"You know my steez"
"The mic..."
"Let em know, do your thing y'all"
"Keep it live"
"You know my steez"
"The mic..."
"Let em know, do your thing y'all"
"Keep it live"
"You know my steez"
"The mic"
On the microphone you know that I'm one of the best yet
Some punks, ain't paid all of their debts yet
Tryin to be fly, ridin high on the jet-set
With juvenile rhymes makin fake-ass death threats
Big deal, like En Vogue, here's something you can feel
Styles more tangible, and image more real
For some time now, I've held the scrolls and manuscripts
When it's time to go all out you be like, "Damn he flipped"
Now I'm sick, fed up with the bullshit
Got the lyrical full clip, giving you a verbal asswhip
Don't trip it's the gifted prolific one
Known as Bald Head Slick why is the press all on my di-dick?
My style be wilder, than a kamikaze pilot
Don't try it, I'm about to start more than a friggin riot
Styles unsurpassable, and nuccas that's suckas, yo
Them motherfuckers are harrassable
For I be speaking from my parables and carry you beyond
The mic's either a magic wand
Or it gets tragic like the havoc of a nuclear bomb
Then I grab your palm, no pulse you're gone
And if you thought we'd lose our niche in this rap shit you way wrong
I stay up, I stay on, shine bright, like neon
Your song's, pathetic, synthetic, like Rayon
Fat beats, they play on, want dope rhymes, put me on
Word is bond you know my steez
PS, the video by Ryk of this music video was copyrighted too bad, poor kid had a sh*t load of views but oh well, get used to it kids!
The Dorothy line is fucking gold, gotta remember that one
gah damn i just recently got into old school hip hop and i am so pleased 🖤
Legendary🔥
One of my top 5 spitters of all time! R.I.P Guru
RIP LEGEND :(
What. a. coincidence... I've been in the process of creating an anthology of DJ Premier's musical contributions. Long-live Guru and Gang Starr.

They shouldn’t be considered hip-hop heads if they don’t even know this song.
I swear i love Gangstarr and Wu Tang so this track is fire to me cuz of the method man sample "You know my steez " 🎶
I bought some canned tea called Steaz. I kept shouting "You know my STEEZ!" So I had to come here and pay homage. I wish Guru was still alive so I could hear him clown and bash on these modern "rappers".
Peace to the God!!! RIP guru,you blessed a generation with knowledge-wisdom,how many years this video was done, he was teaching us back then beware of the people that want to control us all,tell you when to eat,sleep,walk,run,when to piss etc.be original dont be puppet/follower be your own I Self,Lord,&Master
Guru and Canibus ultimate lyrical geniuses, DJ Premier Master of DJ Masters and producers.
I could listen to this all day.

This reminds me of that THX 1138 movie.
That’s exactly what it’s a play on. A warning for us. Never except the Mark of the Best. Run THX 1138 your a Man!
Real hip-hop! How I miss it! RIP Guru!🕯️🙏
Gangstarr and THX 1138 mashup who could ask for more. Guru was a father when i didnt have one. Taught me so much from 12 in 92 and beyond. RIP to a major role model for all youth.
Lyrical poet. Tremendous rapper. I had his music when I was younger
creo que esta cancion fue de los primeros temas de rap que escuche y me enamore del rap
'The real... hip hop!'
Does anyone know the instrumental song in the intro or was it just made for this song?
25 years later and still i say PEACE TO MY GODS& EARTHS
“The rejected stone is now the cornerstone!”
THX1138 Oh shit! I knew this song but never saw the video. Paying homage to George Lucas’ classic sci-fi film.
REAL, HIP HOP! Rest In Peace Guru
RIP guru. My opinion he was one of the best lyricist. He doesnt get the recognition he deserved
“the rejected stone is now the cornerstone, sort of like the master builder when I make my way home(Pslams 118). 🤦♂️ .” Fuego 💐
Gangstarr so underrated sucks that guru is gone he didn't get his flowers while he was still here
