“It starts with the young ones doing crimes for fun, and if you ain’t down you get played out son.” “They may say we’re a menace to society and at the same time I say why is it me. Am I the target, for destruction, and what about the system and total corruption.” Beautiful.
Yo King James how old are you??? I remember I had 3 distinct songs on a cassette after we finished 11th grade summer of '94 1. KRS One: How many MCs 2. Jeru had the joint with the beep sample looped over and over. I don't know the name of it. 3. Gangstarr: Code of the Streets

Im form Poland 1985, when I was a kid meaningful work like that, helped me understand the struggle of black people in USA. It helped me avoid dumbass, shallow approach.. I wish Hip Hop right now would do the same for Young ones . R.I.P sir.
Fans don’t realize GURU was a lot older than the average MC prime years….thats why he drops so many gems in his music. It was not only his lyrical ability but that fact that he was far more mature. #UncleGuruRaisedMe ! BROOKLYN BORN, RAISED, and RIPENED !!!
I like when the rappers used the Jamaicans verse in their songs, which pay homage to Jamaica and the Jamaican who started it all. Yardee are talented folks coming from a Guyanese 😂. Love y’all.
Gangstarr is one of my all time favorite groups. If you look up hip hop in the dictionary and you'll see their picture by it's definition. As an artist myself, Gangstarr inspired me tremendously. Especially Premo's beats & djing skillz.🎧🎤🎶🔥
Definitely hip-hop in it's purest form!!!!!!! Definitely underappreciated as well!!!!!!!! Sometimes I be like; it just ain't fair/some of us no longer here!!!!!!! RIP GURU, SMS, BLACK ROB, SHOCK-G!!!!!!!! AND ALL THOSE WE LOST IN THE PHYSICAL!!!!!!! YOUR SPIRITS WILL LIVE 4EVER!!!!!!!!
Thorough all the way around but that scratch always got to me the most. Something about that pitch. I wish scratching would come back. Peace and Blessings to the Gods Gang Starr R.I.P. to Guru
Fuckin CLASSIC!!! Gang Starr one of the best groups hands down ever. Premo and Guru were fuckin golden. RIP GURU, truly missed and your music will play on forever by THE REAL ONE!!!!! QGTM
Guru is one of the most underrated MCs and should be talked about as one of the greatest MCS and greatest rap groups
💯
Name held em' back...Gang Starr.
You know my name...
@@asmrbynature3057 no, that he had a boyfriend held him back
what about mf doom
One thing I really loved about guru is he rarely says "nigga" he either says son, homie ect.
And you just did.. Lol
@@angelffalcon3134 so funny
Sunny Dee hell yeah
Wasn't he Muslim? I've noticed that the Muslim rappers don't usually use the n-word. I might be wrong
@@jumajaco Guru uses it just not frequently
Guru and Premier one of the greatest duos ever!
This is one of those songs that still stands in the same place like a landmark
@@Dirtywesterner no doubt!!
💯‼
One of the dopest beats ever made, iconic

Thanks Guru!
Wow. Love it
Why doesn't anyone keep Guru's music alive, damn I used love him. His music is nice yo!
Do it
I do it too
Hip Hop/Turntablist DJ's keep Gangstar alive. Don't believe mainstream radio to do it.
Sadly he wasn't appreciated as much as he should have when he was still with us. Definitely one of the greatest.
Two months ago ? You barely got put on guru or real hip hop in general ? Mad respect though cause females now a days 👎🏼
Truth
they were underground.
I appreciate Guru and DJ Premier.
Facts
Guru is hip hop personified. His voice resonates with me differently. RIP Guru the God.
R.I.P GURU
He's an embodiment of hip hop, RIP Bald head slick
Terra Bull don't worry, his voice lives through dave east.

Unparalleled and unmatched. 25 years later _no one_ touching Guru as an MC. RIP Guru. 👊👊👊👊👊👑👑👑👑👑
“It starts with the young ones doing crimes for fun, and if you ain’t down you get played out son.”
“They may say we’re a menace to society and at the same time I say why is it me. Am I the target, for destruction, and what about the system and total corruption.”
Beautiful.
Crazy that this doesn’t even have 2.5m views. This is legendary shit.
"I cant take you to Brooklyn, go somewhere else" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
