Manifest
Gang Starr
No More Mr. Nice Guy
1989

[@NCGNTO202]

The first cut I ever heard from them. Hooked ever since. Gang Starr for Life!

[@kuahmelallah]

Exactly what happened when I heard this cut and saw this video. The formula showed its staying power album after album.

[@darryltaylor2438]

It’s sad that music like this gets no radio play

[@srmeezeekz6643]

Moment of truth got me into em

[@RoninAli1]

Same here

[@town_biznessman380]

Do yourself a favor and cop the No More Mr. Nice Guy album. Been stuck since hearing Knowledge.✌🏾

[@newenvisionedgrowth]

Can we just take a moment and appreciate the dancers from the hip- hop groups.

[@mattrockstonic]

Early 90’s Afrocentric moods

[@twyz0ne]

Gangstarr is like the purest form of Hip Hop. The definition of Hip Hop. The most soulful Hip Hop. Ion care how old this gets. I will forever enjoy listening to this more than anything coming from today's souless era.

[@ronnettturner2538]

Yes 🙌

[@ponncho]

Agreed. Gang Starr Foundation was and always will be my favorite Hip Hop Group due to their innovation. In my view the late 80’s to mid-90’s was the golden age of Hip Hop of which Gang Starr was at the forefront. RIP Guru.

[@poetic19beats]

You listening to Coast Contra yet G?

[@dominiceugenio3694]

RIP GURU 🙏 never forgotten

[@Oscar-hb7uk]

Yes!!! RIP GURU

[@sluggzmcgee5451]

Gangstarr is fuckin incredible!!! Salute to DJ Primo Salute to Guru (Rest peacefully) Salute to Dizzy Gillespie (Rest peacefully )

[@October3074]

💯💯💯

[@RoninAli1]

This is a perfect example of lyricism; making the lyrics match the music. Notice how even though all three verses aren’t the same length they all have the same flow patterns bar for bar.

[@lawrencemills9196]

Couldn't have said any better

[@lawrencemills9196]

There will never be another Guru

[@willsBoardHappy]

Guru and premo are absolute bad asses

[@ajtowin]

So Dope as a New Yorker, I went to Cali in 89 and took this song with me very proudly

[@jenniferfields1084]

This the first song I heard ❤

[@ripplewine6112]

G.O.A.T. RIP Guru

[@MOBROOKS]

That beat is amazing. Man! I miss sampling.

[@RoLPeace]

Man you talking about memories. This era of rap is so missed. So much fun. Gang Starr put out some great music. Next release was Step In The Arena. Another classic.

[@hoodwink325]

Good days. Wish I could go back.

[@billking1751]

[@rockport1109]

[@OustemOne...ESB-IBS]

2024 still rockin´...R.I.P. GURU

[@the16thGemini]

That Dizzy Gillespie A Night In Tunesia sample is so amazing throughout !!!!

[@frankjum]

Yeah it was maybe the third time I finally paid attention to the video back in early '89 cuz my father came in the room and was bopping a bit to it. He said "they using a classic record." ✊🏾😎

[@PGB687]

Facts! 🎼🎵🎶

[@TCMO99]

This is so dope! Guru was such a shining star

[@djmigsentertainmentllc7701]

When I first saw this brother in this video as a teen, I never imagined that he would be taken away from us. Him and many others of his time were super heroes, RIP Guru

[@bootneyfarnsworth5689]

This is a joint that you knew where you where when you first heard it !! 33 years ago and it still goes hard

[@DETmichigan-yy6lf]

100%

[@vedarenea]

RIP, GURU!!!

[@frontme02]

Thank God for people that manifest in music in this era gang Starr the perfect example of the manifestation of hip Hop rest in peace guru

[@bklynzooboriqua7186]

late 80’s classic hip hop i remember watching yo mtv raps and this video came on and as soon as the bass line dropped and premier started scratching big daddy kane’s “word to the motherland” i knew this was a jewel, i went out and bought the cassette tape single and played it until the tape popped and then ran out and bought the whole album, gang starr was different....

[@acsone3546]

AWOL One has a song called Manifested Words, it’s about how hearing this song for the first time changed his whole outlook on life

[@Dr.Dave718]

6/6/89, 31 years ago, Guru & D.J Premier (Gang Starr) came out with their debut LP, “No More Mr. Nice Guy”

[@lifeismusikmusikislife4684]

Back then I didn't understand the full significance and genius of hip hop, all I knew was that I loved it. Today. I understand that like Jazz that preceded it, it is an ingenious artform created by an ingenious people.

[@edub9930]

One of the most underrated MC's ever!

[@opinionatorX]

Malcolm X would have approved this message.

[@thomasdavid8690]

When i was young this was my favorite song,me and my cousin use to do the dance the dudes was doing at the beginning

[@thejasonsfathersonteam2699]

I was completely obsessed with this song when it first came out! I played this 12" vinyl so many times for such a long time over and over, I probably went through six or seven needles just because of this 12" vinyl alone! This track "MANIFEST" will FOREVER be my TOP #1 GangStarr track ever!!!

[@Maasai-El]

KEITHY E. (GURU) REST IN POWER!👑

[@DETmichigan-yy6lf]

[@paulenewess4195]

[@michaeljamsmithband]

I don't think rappers today even know the word "intellect" exists.

[@MOBROOKS]

I know right. Hahahahaha

[@moniquefort7964]

Dictate the definition peace to the God that molded

[@moniquefort7964]

You will hear this in another form...hopefully it's just as difficult to 3 will you recognize it with musical love?

[@Outta12]

As time passes Gang Starr is rising and rising in the ranks of the greatest.

[@juliunofaquitaine]

[@darylbowman5430]

[@45Zombiekilla]

LISTEN; when this Track dropped on YO! MTV RAPS!! I heard it; never heard of GANGSTARR; I RAN TO MY TRUCK, went to The WIZ & copped this on 45 & a Cassette. GOD REST YOUR SOUL, GURU!! DJ PREMO; you’re still NUMBER ONE!! I was blasting this in my EarPods & my Fiancée said for me to save that energy for when she’s gets off her Conference Call!!!😁😁✊🏿🤘🏿

[@theodorejohnson1746]

This song just hit different

[@makingconnections777]

This takes me back. I remember hosts Ed Lover and Dr Dre(not NWA Dre). And then go watch Rap City after Yo. Yeah, I'm aging myself

[@dionysusbond3516]

[@tritosac]

There was no cursing yet this is more hardcore than the sissy rap stuff playing today.

[@teksaucee]

damn look at guru and premier they look so young lol

[@michaelp6761]

I love how the beat comes in on this version, this definitely wasn't on the album or remix version.

[@LawrenceRoss1906]

That's Charlie Parker's A Night in Tunisia...

[@osiawideman4851]

@@Anchicanoy no,this was 1989,the Malcolm X movie came out in 1992,brothers was on the Black Power Movement back then with cats like Boogie Down Productions,Public Enemy,X-Clan,Deff Jeff, and several others

[@oldmanstrong-ish]

This popped into my head just now!

[@rhondellelincoln9295]

HAPPY HEAVENLY BIRTHDAY GURU GANGSTARR

[@montycarlos3283]

Night in Tunisia melody…genius!

[@bluemarvel-mf2yu]

This was the very 1st jam I heard from them. Immediately these kats became my new fav back in the day!!

[@AJM01]

Been listening to Gang Starr since the late 80s and the years have only served to make their tunes sound better!

[@cree19god]

Rest in peace GuRU

[@PHD631]

vinyl and real flow, young kats need to listen to this era and take notes

[@cliftonmcknight4659]

Been some years since ive heard this. Love the message.... the beat and the video

[@michaelharris761]

Classic GURU, Hip Hop misses this Man. Great Rapper.

[@encylopediaorange]

The only good thing about radio these days is that it forces you to search for good music elsewhere !

[@sirjer73]

WORD!!! AND ALSO THANK THE LORD UP ABOVE FOR SATTELITE RADIO!!!

[@williammason475]

Banging this in 2022!

[@stan3357]

Why is this so underrated?

[@ajtowin]

Because it was underground only the real know about this at the time

[@Kitu74]

It not ...this is what set it for Gangstarr..this has to be amongst the top 50 songs ever in early hip-hop..remember the lyric righteousness rule

[@SavMacCauley]

How does this not have millions of views?

[@aldenechambers215]

Classic!!

[@quagmireswagga]

I bet when they created this song, they never expected that it would end up being one of the greatest songs in hip-hop history....when I first heard this song as a child, I KNEW this culture was gonna dominate music one day....how could ANYONE deny such a simplistic yet innovative sound....hip-hop is older than people actually give credit for, it goes back to "bebop" days, and historically even tribal cadences spoken by shamans....its an amazing art form and Gang Starr definitely showed how genuine their contribution to the sound of hip-hop would change everything!!

[@blainelee8021]

Ever since positivity i watch them keep growing and growing.

[@joelemaine]

I first saw this on Video Music Box. This probably my favorite Gangstar track

[@babeecakes127]

This is my shit!

[@esotericguru7111]

He's top 10.

[@jesperschultz2727]

Perfection!
