I remember seeing this video on Video Soul back in 1995, I love that jazzy New York hip hop sound.

"...the illest king, I'll smack the jokas no hocus pocus, I real MC when I kick vocals" 🔥🔥🔥

G.U.R.U. never let us down. Hip Hop Lives Forever! I bought this album at Sam Goody!

True Hip Hop

This was one of my favorite Hype William music vids that he directed. I loved being a teen in the 90's. and YES! " Rap City" was dope.

GURU was/is my favourite emcee of all time. Might not be the most technical but his voice just sits on tracks like no other. The most soulful mc.

His jazzmatazz albums are some of the most innovative hip hop ever created in my opinion. Criminally underrated. I had volume 2 in heavy rotation back in the day. It's a real treat for me to rediscover this wonderful music. Ahead of it's time fa sho.

One of my favorite MCs of all time

Love this ever since... I bought the Double-CD in 1995.

This is totally sage, candles so magical and deep with incense and powerful! They look like true leaders. Chaka Khan and Guru (may he rest in peace), real music! Love how they sound as if they cast spells to get the job done and get rid of drama. This is beautiful jazz, rap and something to he proud of. What happened to stuff like this? I was still a teen.

I love rediscovering real dope shit. Use to bump this in my room in college. Dope. RIP Guru.

Masterpiece

One of the most slept on artist

Guru the GodFather of everything about Hip Hop shit!! Love Ya Ill Kid!!

i was 14 at basketball camp. Dudes were sitting out on their stoop outside their cabin. and this joint was blasting as I walked over to get to know everyone. I will never forget hearing this track for the first time. I'm 41 years old now and I still love real hip hop.

Branford Marsalis on the sax, can it be any more jazzy....

Oh wow did not know that Guru had passed wow I tell ya so many folks dying some you hear about others you don’t I don’t know how I missed this one I loved this song then and now

I like how DJ Premier still produce this song for Guru even though they were on a break from Gang Starr

DAYUM, look at Chaka. Hot!

RIP Guru and the goddess Chaka Khan

I probably made a comment on this vid a few years back, but am now making another one. Fellas, Brutha's all I can say is Chaka Khan with that inner city beauty, man that complexion those cheeks, them eyes and none of us will ever forget what was underneath!!! She was so fine and had the most sensual, sassy, soulful voice of any other female artist back then that I could remember. Man, the vid just reminds you of the good times we all use to share, when our parents didn't have much, but were all doing the best that they could... How when we were all in school and in our neighborhoods there was conflict at times, but we still had respect for our families and the community and we stuck together. Yeah and through all the gang violence, and brutality from certain law enforcement, (Not All of Them) we still found a way to stick together through some pretty rough times. I grew up on the west side of Chicago which I'm sure was no different than any other inner city! Same stuff, just finding a way to make it through, but it was just that vids like this made you want to have fun and support and do right by others which was something all our Mom's preached to us as we went to work, school etc. I will always appreciate vids like this, because it brings you back home so to speak when times weren't easy, but you and your family made the best of what you had and lended, and got the help and support you needed from around you and those who had similar struggles..... Oh yeah, also I could have listened to B. Marsalis on the vid for another 5 minutes at the end! So smooth, which proves we have the ability and capacity to do so many things! Defying the odds/obstacles and making it happen...

Real hip hop for the masses

guru dropped the most knowledge how to maintain in the streets, in ya business and life, and this hook is fire he voice have u vibing to this real 90s jazz🔥🎺🎶🎤

Its the summer of 2020 and this is still legendary

Artists like Bobby shmurda should've peeped the message in this song. But I forget this type of music is soon to be forgotten. Won't get no play if there's no dancing or popping bottles lol. If the new generation hear these type of songs they just look down at their phones.
