DJ Premier is right up there with Doctor Dre as greatest producers in hip-hop history. Guru was just the epitome of cool, and mad underrated top MC. Together they put out pure hip-hop classics.

Premier is better...Dre doesn't do his own beats. He has a stable of producers under him but takes the credit for their creations. Premier's catalog is impeccable!!!!!!!!

Believe me when I tell you that Guru was SUPER well respected at the time! Gang Starr was the sound of New York!

Gang Starr, "Take It Personal", "Just To Get A Rep" and "Step In The Arena"

Guru was a Lyricist And DJ Premier was And still is a Great DJ/ Producer:.. Gang Starr been around since 1989'' And got plenty of timeless Classics: R.I.P Guru🎶😎

Sampling was damn near the BASIS of early hip hop, and how most drum machines were sample based, yesterdays and todays hip hop producers sampled just about EVERYTHING, from drum sounds, drum breaks/loops, and various melodies used to create our early hits, MANY even used the same sounds, drum loops/breaks HUNDREDS of times and just recreated them differently... Creativity at it's finest!!!

This song is a 10. I still have it in weekly rotation. This is their most popular song. They were complaining about not having a radio hit and it became their most played radio joint.

Gangstar is a legendary group. If you want to check out more of their stuff check out, DWYCK, Speak your Clout, "I'm the Man". "Beyond Comprehension", Check the Technique, "Mostly the Voice" (my favorite album cut)

@@theinsightfulvisionary0197 I tried to name songs with a modern feel to it. If I had my way I would get them to react to "Question Remains". ------ PLus in the Jeru reaction, I told them to listen to about 6-7 cuts from "Sun Rises" and " Wrath of the Math". ------ So they have loads of recommendations from me.

"The Illest Brother" - Gang Starr "The Militia" - Gang Starr (Feat. Freedie Fox & Rakim) "We Got Gunz" - Gang Starr (Feat. Fat Joe & M.O.P) "Fight Club" - Fat Joe (Feat. M.O.P & Petey Pablo) "Full Clip" - Gang Starr "Revolutionist" - J-Love (Feat. Guru) They were born in Texas & Massachusetts,but raised in Brooklyn N.Y.

Back in the day. DJ went by the moto. They don't speak with their mouths, THey speak with their hands. It started with Terminator X from Public Enemy. Dj Premiere was inspired to be like Terminator X and Marley Marl.

Gang Starr had the deepest, realistic, chillest shit with a message.

Gang Starr - Moment of Truth

Yes PREMIER is from Texas originally and GURU is from Boston originally . But GANG STARR was founded in Boston by GURU & BIG SHUG. GURU decided to take rap very serious so he moved to NYC where he eventually met PREMIER. PREMIER joined GANG STARR. If you asked D.J. PREMIER he will tell you that GANG STARR didn't make NYC. NYC MADE GANG STARR. PREMIER was taught by legends like LARGE PROFESSOR of the group MAIN SOURCE and D.J. MARLEY MARL both from different parts of Queens,NYC and GURU sharpened his skills in NYC because the competition here was FIERCE! They spent a lotta years in NYC living in Brooklyn, Queens,The Bronx. If you study their albums you'll hear clearly that they represent NYC! Not Boston or Texas. They have songs dedicated to NYC , not Boston or Texas. GANG STARR represents Brooklyn to the fullest! I'm just schooling y'all on the history. Your show is DOPE 🔥! Keep up the good work youngins👍!!!!

Xzibit wasnt from la but he still repped the city and sound. Theres so many more. It aint where your born but what you rep. Imo

Boston is to Guru what Harlem was to Tupac. Tupac admitted to being born & bred in NYC but then he later screamed, yelled & repped for Oakland & Los Angeles. Guru was Boston born & bred but then pledged his allegience to NYC, very similarly to Tupac. I actually bought a couple of Compilations about Boston Hip Hop but also heard a few songs where Guru proudly represented Boston. I think his allegience was more to NYC but I've literally heard Guru rep & shout out Boston in a few of his songs. Maybe they were collaborations and/or featured tracks but Guru has most definitely shown respect & shouted out Boston. I think it was even with a couple Krumbsnatcha songs, actually. If I'm not mistaken. Guru was proud to rep Both Beantown & NYC.

@@joshuadiaz2330 Yeah but GURU spent way more time in NYC than PAC did in Oakland. PAC made songs dedicated to his home town NYC however GURU didn't do songs dedicated to Boston. New York made GANG STARR. New York made PAC.

Jazzmatazz and Gang Starr were hard. Please listen to everything Guru. Some you will like more than other. DJ Premier honors his name.

Back in the day lyricism and flow was taken a lot more seriously than it is today. If you came out with some weak stuff or joked around and didn't take it seriously, you wouldn't last because only those who were good were considered and got respect from their city.

Take It Personal DWYCK Mostly the Voice Same Team No Games 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Check out "moment of truth", in my opinion one of their best songs, and a top tier song in the world of hip hop. RIP Guru.

RIP GURU ty for checking this track

This is what you blast in your car back in the day.

Mass appeal a certified classic. Dj premier made this beat off boring hotel elevator music 🔥🔥🔥 bang this joint everyday before going to school

The Golden age of Hip Hop

Real Dj's talk with there hands . Djs were the producers. Real hip hop.

I love what you'll are doing young brothers.Keep doing your thing. Peace & Love !!!!

Appreciate the fact that y'all going back and listening to 90's hip hop. Majority of them was samples from music in the 60's and 70's. Nowadays....like y'all said in the video, majority of trap beats today is inspired by 3 6 Mafia. The reason when you meet an "old head" and they go crazy about the 90's...the era kind of breakdowns like this with a 20 year gap. 1. 70's= had the be the best on the instrument you played. 2. 90's = had to be the best lyricist 3. 10's = had to create the best vibe Hope that helps since y'all like beats!!👍🏾👍🏾

GURU...is on my top FIVE

"Manifest" is Guru's Masterpiece ❤

Gangstar has so many hits!!! Check out Discipline, Full Clip, You Know My Steez

Classic track and group. GangStarr for life !!!!

One of my favourite beats, ever. Up there with CREAM, NYSOM

they grew up in new york, NYC legends

Now you gotta react to Full Clip & You Know my Steez ❤

Man you can’t miss with Gang Starr and the crew!! No shame in my game!

man the weather in the early 90s was cold as hell in ny..

🔥🔥🔥 Classic

Check the classic GANGSTARR Jams: 1. WORD THAT I MANFEST 2. DAILY OPERATION 3. SOLIQUIY OF CHAOS 4. DWYCK 5. JUST TO GET A REP

DJ Premier was born in 5th Ward in Houston and was raised in Prairie View, Texas outside of Houston. He also went to Prairie View University but dropped out of college and pursued music. He drove his old Chevy pickup truck from Houston to NYC with his turntables, records and clothes with his friend. He was 20 years old at the time. This was before Rap-A-Lot and Suave House Records started. This was in the 80s.

Check the track with inspector deck above the clouds.

bro in those days djs were also producers, the difference is that in those days everything was produced with hardware and now with the computer, and today they are all still sampling.

Definitely more raw back then 90s were the best decade for everything

RIP GURU

Premier is standing next to Guru for a bunch of the video. You see more than his hands.

Some songs and artists get sampled more than others. Alot of hip hop was sampled during the 80's and 90's; being in my teens during that time, I enjoyed hearing the original songs that they came from.

One sorta slept on hit from Gangstar was a track called Royalty featuring KCi and JoJo. One of my favs by them. 🔥🔥🔥 Check it out

If you want some old school Texas artists try the Geto Boys. They are from Houston. "My Mind Is Playing Tricks On Me". Warning, these dudes are raw.

lol it’s actually very simple how the beat was made. Mpc60. Anything you run through that thing sounds like gold.

Gangstarr is essential but as a unit they kinda hovered in their own space between waves. more interesting is looking at GURU as an emcee and his jazzmatazz records. then, with more depth, DJ Premier, Primo, is easily in the top 3 producers ever--- yall could host a 3 hour pod on his direct influence and never catch all of it. Love the channel btw!

Funny thing is when New York was biased towards MCs and producers from other parts of the country, Gangstarr took over the scene, especially New York!

Gangstarr is the best. He’s the monotone killer

Love Gangstarr! Gangstarr - Moment of Truth (no music video)

Gang Starr "You Know My Steez"

Gang Starr "The Militia"

Mass appeal explaines how rapper these are just like guru said in the song "you'd be happy as hell for a record, or you should you'd sell for mass appeal

There’s mad music that comes from Mass. One of my favorite producers is Statik Selector and he’s from Lawrence mass, then you got Terminology also from Lawrence and does a lot of work with Premiere. And Guru is from the Roxbury” part of Boston , I’m from right outside of the Bean 15 minutes away from There . Then there’s Joyner Lucas from Worcester Mass. Also can’t forget about Ed Og and the Bulldogs from Roxbury Boston too and they go back. All these spots are some tough cities around my way. Gangstarr as a whole are legends in the Hip Hop game.

In the beginning it was always about the dj

Not every producer is a DJ & not every DJ is a producer. DJ's mix & manipulate vinyl on the turntable like a Turntablist but then producers are just in the Lab 🧪🧫 (studio) using their equipment to conduct or create a Hip Hop beat. Producers use studio equipment to create musical compositions through instruments of sound such as F&L, MPC's & SP1200's but DJ's use their hands & fingers to manipulate the vinyl on Turntables & DJ equipment often through (Scratching). Legendary Dr. Dre is known more so for being a producer & not much of a DJ. DJ Premier is BOTH a producer AND a DJ. He produces his own beats but also manipulates the vinyl as a DJ. You rarely (IF EVER) see Dr. Dre doing this as he makes Music. I think Pete Rock, Alchemist & 9th Wonder occasionally uses elements of DJ (scratching) as well. But still not nearly as much as DJ Premier. Marco Polo & Statik Selektah use scratching in their production too. Apollo Brown usually just uses his production to speak for his talent & creativity. Not a whole lot of DJ scratching there. Evidence & Babu from Dilated People's include elements of scratching in their Music too. DJ Rhettmatic is both a DJ & Producer. The vast majority of producers don't really DJ or use elements of scratching in 2023 but you might find a few here & there. A personal favorite DJ/producer for me would be a guy by the name Confidence. He bangs out GREAT production with elements of both DJing, scratching & producing in the studio. DJ Honda (from Japan) & DJ Noize does the same. Not all DJ's produce & Not all producers DJ anymore. It's becoming a lost Art. DJ Khaled isn't a bad producer by any stretch BUT he's dancing around in videos like "Puffy" used to dance in Bad Boy artist videos in flashy suits. That's not really (by a Historical definition) considered a DJ. Even though he makes palletable & digestible Music in the studio. He's Not Bad. By the way, if you do a little research, you'll find that there used to be PLENTY of Rappers/Producers/DJ's from both Texas & Massachusetts. Beantown Boston used to be one of the BIGGEST markets for unsigned hype. Boston was often overlooked & underrated in talent. Edo G & REKS are underrated Legends from the Boston area. Termanology is someone who got the spotlight for a while as well. Texas had UGK, Devin the Dude, Geto Boys, Tela, Lil' Keke, Lil' Flip, Mike Jones, Paul Wall & MANY others. DJ Screw was a LEGEND in Houston & all over the Globe for his "Chopped & Screwed" mixtapes before he passed. I believe even Chamillionaire is also from Houston too. Lots of Legends, even in the R&B/Soul arena, such as Beyonce' & Destiny's Child.

Try "Moment of Truth"

HA ‼️ The founder of the Source Magazine is from Bean Town... Benzino. Y'all mite kno hm frm Love & Hip Hop.
