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.

@marselmusic 5 жыл бұрын

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.

There's she is again. I always see your comments in all these videos that I click on which has to be like over 100 by now. I had the privilege of seeing Guru in Seattle at a small venue, and he was great. He came out so late though. He was Loungin'.

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.

Lupe Fiasco's whole album Drogas Wave and Tetsuo Youth. (Also Food and Liquor and The Cool). Blu and Exile - Below The Heavens album. Fashawn - Boy Meets World album. KAAN - Concealed The Outro. Jon Connor - Someone Like Me. (His mistake Season 2 is good). Mr. Lif - Let The Rhythm Just. Mr. Lif - Return of The B Boy. Evidence ft. Fashawn - Same Folks. Evidence - You prod. DJ Premier. Kendrick Lamar - The Heart Pt. 1 and 2. Capital STEEZ - Vibe Ratings. Joey Badass - 1999 mixtape. That's just a few.

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

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.
