bubinga5 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 (edited) Ive always been a big Hip Hop fan..maybe not in the later days..but im keepin up.... ive got to be honest i dont like alot of sh*t thats played in the mainstream.. some, is great though.. i have always thought that there is alot of actual music, lacking in Hip Hop, but i guess thats the nature of the genre.. But through this, the Guru has been a bit of a pioneer in the world of HH.. i guess this is a thread to a loss of a legend.. he to me has injected so much funk, jazz, and general danceable goodness to this great genre.. i know its not for everyone and doeasnt really have a huge amount of bass guitar in it.. ok some of this has some great bass lines in it... they do hard rap to wonderful funky hip hop..for those who dont know these are some great samples From a Hip Hop point of view, this is a really innovative track... Gang Starr... A Jazz Thing [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AYZvqcGKV8"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AYZvqcGKV8[/url] Love sick [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyyfPwGQJ4w"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyyfPwGQJ4w[/url] He Just WAS slicker than most.. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gFxrRqlaf8"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gFxrRqlaf8[/url] This is BAD AAAAASSSSS.. for any one who knows hip hop Rakim raps at the end.. its siiiicccckk [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qU0oG2JHYsY"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qU0oG2JHYsY[/url] There is no funkier hip hop than this right here..!!!! [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGpvI9vN9qU"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGpvI9vN9qU[/url] i think alot of respect is due to a guy who has worked with everyone from Courtney Pine, Meshel Ndegeocello, to Ronny Jordan, Branford Marsalis, Lonnie LS, Roy Ayers.. and many more...... and now for something different..

EdwardHimself Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Gang Starr. I've got one of his songs on my machine somewhere. I think he said something about "let me cook it up like ainsley harriot" which i thought was rather amusing and well put. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pietruszka Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Sad news. Im listening to those links now, I know on FB you mentioned him. I love the laid back kinda rapping, a lot like GZA. All that shouty Eminem stuff is just attention seeking nonsense to me. Thanks for putting those links up, Im really enjoying them!

hellothere Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Well I'm pretty sure he passed away a while ago so this is a bit late. And if I remember right Guru is the rapper the persn responsible for the innovative beats was DJ Premier. But yeah Gang Starr were a lot better than alot of the crap that passes for hip-hop. And Eminem didn't used to be to bad, some very clever word play sometimes but his last 2/3 albums where utter tosh and obviously aimed at topping the charts.

bubinga5 Posted March 14, 2011 Author Share Posted March 14, 2011 A bit late for what? This is not correct..Guru was equal in writing the music, and was also a great DJ in his own right.. he was the driving force behind Gang Starr.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
