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.

"But right about now I use my authority. 'Cause I'm like the wizard and you look lost like Dorothy." Holy fuck, this is pure hip hop rhyming.

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.

"I'm like the Wizard of Oz and you look like Dorothy" Guru was indeed the Wizard of rap! RIP man!

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

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.

Guru was on top of his game...

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 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.
