Guru way underrated. Guru was one guys that had much respect from his peers. But not from the media.

[@anthonytruman]

I can hear Guru's voice just by the instrumental

[@Enta_Da_Sage]

I hear Guru and Inspectah Deck's verses in their entirety loud and clear in my head. One of my favorite verses from both of them.

"Up in the sky" "The moon and the planets are there And new hopes for knowledge and peace are there And therefore, as we set sail, we ask God's blessing On the most hazardous and dangerous And greatest adventure on which man has ever embarked" "Prepared for lift off" [Verse 1: Guru] I Self Lord and Master shall bring disaster to evil factors Demonic chapters shall be captured by Kings Through the storms of days after Unto the Earth from the Sun through triple darkness to blast ya With a force that can't be compared To any firepower, for it's mind power shared The brainwave causes vessels to circulate Like constellations reflect at night off the lake Word to the Father and Mother Earth Seekin' everlastin' life through this Hell for what it's worth Look, listen and observe And watch another C-Cipher pullin' my peeps to the curb Heed the words, it's like ghetto style proverbs The righteous pay a sacrifice to get what they deserve Cannot afford to be confined to a cell Brainwaves swell, turnin' a desert to a well Experience the best teacher Thoughts will spray like street sweepers Little Daddy street preacher Illustrious feature, narrator you select Accompanied by Deck, plus the DJ you respect The seven and a half combined, over the front line The ten-percenters promotin' slander in the airtime Bear in mind, jewels be the tools of the trade Sharp blades, heavenly praise and dues are paid [Hook: Guru] Above the crowds, above the clouds Where the sounds are original Infinite skills create miracles Warrior spiritual Above the clouds, rainin' down, holdin' it down [Verse 2: Inspectah Deck] Yeah, I leave scientists mentally scarred, triple extra large Wild like rock stars who smash guitars Poison bars from the Gods bust holes in your mirage And catch a charge, shake 'em down like the riot squad Invade your zone, ruin like Ancient Rome I span the universe and return to Earth to claim my throne The maker, owner, plus soul controller Ayatollah rest in the sky, the cloud's my sofa Stand like Colossus, regardless to whom or what Numerous attempts on my life, so who to trust? Who but us to supply ya with the fire? The burnin' truth, 150 Absolut proof On the mic like Moses spoke in golden scribe Survivor of the oldest tribe whose soldiers died I notified families, we shed tears and mourn But our hands are on the ammo 'cause the battle still on Sound the horn, we come rumblin' through the function Precise laser beam technique to touch somethin' When we die hard, they'll build a monument to honor us with Humongous effect in the world, we could've conquered it [Hook x2: Guru] Above the crowds, above the clouds Where the sounds are original Infinite skills create miracles Warrior spiritual Above the clouds, rainin' down, holdin' it down

Human spiritual enlightenment. A complex movement of subtle steps, interrupted by violent threats coupled with menacing acts. Best described as a means to divide and displace any knowledge based case valuable to the human race. Progress is slow cause we carry the young and old, underdogs by default, fathers and sons still choose to uphold. A warrior a leader, a teacher and a healer. Your parts to play and with your soul you will pay or collect in respect to your test manifest.

[@audiohope_]

Simetimes the best thing about a beat is no bass.

[@gregpuryear8163]

audiohope if DJ premiere is producing it then yeah

[@waxmaster-c]

There is a bass there, but this is not an official instrumental - just a looped part from the end of the song without any bass. Listen to the original song and there are 2 bass notes coming in at the beginning of the loop now and then,

[@waxmaster-c]

but I agree with you. Preemo showed a lo of beat makers that bass isn't always needed to make a dope beat.

[@RunGunStudio]

the actual song has a bassline though. This is a loop
