Didn't know him myself, heard his name & the oh boy ref makes sense now.. Great interview, It's a great example of how to use your own individual talents and create a career based around your passion & shows you have to be front & centre like the rapper & producer to have an impact on creating classic records .. Another classic show..

Through this whole conversation you can easily pick up the main theme thru Guru’s life, there was always a Brotha or Sista offering guidance or a hand in getting him to the next level and supporting him on his journey- priceless ✅💯✅💯✅💯✅

He was also open to receiving the guidance. Some people get guidance and push back or don't listen because their ego won't let them. He was humble enough to receive it.

Guru is very special human. His level of knowledge on so many things is mind blowing. The way he explained money as trust, battle rap fans, go-go culture, and so much more. Salute Math on another epic show!!!!

Guru seems to be such a grounded, humble and genuine person. It makes perfect sense that he was consistently around greatness on his way up. His energy is the type EVERYONE wants around them.

I heard of Young Guru but, never saw him. His knowledge and wisdom about money and the game is priceless and can't be brought. His stories about the game is second to none. I can listen to this brother speak all day and will be in tuned. Good stuff Math can't wait for part 2. This is one of my favorite interviews so far.

I ❤️❤️these grown black men conversations. Math you have given a platform and picture of the men who are producers, engineers who created the sounds we hear. It’s awesome to see these people who only get shout out at award shows or producer, engineer credits. They have some amazing stories and gifted individuals. Love it.💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Much respect to Math Hoffa. For all those people that hated on him for his mistakes then they started to blackballed Math. I’m happy for him right now cause he kept his head up and stood focused and disciplined. Look how My Expert Opinion show is going straight up.

For starters, I'VE BEEN ANXIOUSLY WAITING FOR THIS ENTIRE INTERVIEW! What I love is that I haven't heard many Young Guru interviews, but whenever I do, I ALWAYS record them because he brings the technical, life lessons, a great introspective on many topics, etc.! Guru is that dude and the name is so fitting. Thank you for this one Math!

Sound like Gu is describing my Pops. His fav group was Parliament & The Beatles, super cool, never yell. Salute to all the Fathers in the world!! Most important job in the world.

HOFFA!!! Salute my brother. This is Classic, legendary and History in the making. Way better than TV

So much DC History and culture in this interview. Chuck Brown, Junkyard, Backyard, Dave Bing, Go-Go, SE DC, Howard University, Chucklife, Ritz, Quigleys, Shrimpboat, Non-Chalant, Marc Barnes, Wale, IBEX, Blossoms,

Moved to DC from NY in 88...went to HU 90-96...DC is mad original, I remember my older cousins talking about Madness, Rare Essence, Rayfus(not Rayful lol) and the Black Hole salute to DC🔥🔥🔥

Damn... I never knew Guru was really "outside" in DC. Respect 💯🫡

I'm 38 years old and was born and raised in DC Uptown NW, and to hear Young Guru talk about the sound of DC which is Go-Go music just warms my heart man. I love my city. I remember hearing how my aunts and uncles going to The Black Hole going to see Backyard, Rare Essence and Junkyard. And he's right as well our sound has always been duplicated or taken but never has been infiltrated that's why it's still one of the most purest genres of music that's still around to this day that's made by us. 202 All Day Baby.

I've never heard of this man! But just listening to him is like a breath of fresh air!! This interview was phenomenal! I watched this video at least 10 times! He spoke so clearly! and you understand everything he was saying! He only use 1 curse word and apologize for saying it You! You can see he appreciate everyone who came into his life! His story wasn't about jail, gun voilence, having beef with someone or being in a gang ! He is so spoke so professional and knowledgeable ! I can listen to him all day! Thank you Mr. Guru for this amazing interview!

Every installment of this podcast put it further and further and further ahead and out in front of the pod game. This is almost unbelievable. Salute to Math 🫡

Y'all blessed as hell to be able to have the og's usher y'all in! Down here in Tampa the og's robbed us we still scrappin! These stories are priceless, so inspiring 🙏🏽🤲🏽

RIP Guru's father. Thorough DC dude.

Shout out to Guru…he’s not from DC, but you can’t find many people that will give a better breakdown of Go-Go music. All facts, the genre has died a little bit, but being from DC I always have pride in the genre. Guru is right, you have to experience a show, listening to It is not the same.

This was such a beautiful interview. Learning what made this man so great on the boards. He sat in on great engineers. I would’ve love to be in his position to learn the way he did. Salute Young Guru. To listen to the man behind the scene to so much classics. Wow.🔥💪🏾💯💙🙏🏾💐

As an accountant who makes music as a hobby, watching this is mind blowing. I've watched hours of Guru talking and as soon as he said he had a strong family and his dad was an accountant it all clicked. Any young musician should watch this and take notes!
