[@GoldK4L]

Kinda kinda not. A complex beat like how rza and mannie fresh arrange theres are hard as well

[@kieranhaynes4420]

definitely one of the maddest beats ever made

[@IdeasOriginal]

Amazing that humans can appreciate and emotionally react to a 12-minute jazz piece, a 40-minute symphony and a 3 second loop. A testament to the versatility and breadth of music. No matter what, we are always responding to the moment and the whole simultaneously.

[@SpiritualNaz]

Beautiful comment bro god bless you my brother!

[@ExpoJBbaby]

Really amazing never put it into perspective that way

[@Abdominal65]

Simplicity is always best.

[@hey9433]

WOOOOWW, I never even realized it was a 3 second loop, it almost sounds like there are alternating high and low keys at the end of every pause, but it's an illusion.. you can trick yourself into hearing it both ways. WTF... This is why I love hip hop!!!!

[@viktorvon764]

Dopest beat I've ever heard!

[@Schemez-16vhiphopbeatz]

Something iv noticed about premo beats is he puts in a sampled bassline thats low pass filtered out thats why the low end sounds so good hes not playing individual bass notes hes playing a sample loop ny state of mind is the ssme among others its a technique dilla used alot to and iv started doing it alot more in my beats

[@oskamadison]

Around this era, roughly ‘93-‘96, that’s what he was doing. Around ‘97, he started playing basslines but how he did it, he blended the bass notes in with his sample chops, so much so that you barely noticed the bass line in some cases…

[@Revominded85]

I remember hearing this song on BET after dark and I was young 14 year old that was obsessed with 2pac. Back then, we didn’t have mp3 players and my good friend Nayeli was a hustler and she would sell burn cds of songs she could get from Limewire, I always used to hit her with that old school shit after I hear of Gang Starr

[@brooksautry2266]

Close your eyes and image a late winters night. Snow covers the landscapes in total whiteness and all you can hear is the sound of heating systems from nearby houses and its so cold u can see your own breath. Every time I hear this song I picture this and that puts me in a very peaceful state of mind.

[@Seethroo]

The way Premo scratched on this was just groovy! I must have written a thousand raps to this beat over the years and I couldnt think of a better sound to vibe to when this came out. By the way, shots to all you hip-hop trivasists out there -- the scatch Premo uses is off Da Youngstas "Pass Da Mic". Oz, Brooklyn

@CarsRapTrack The full song has such deep feeling to it. To me its like: late, late night driving, feeling the energy of the late night streets, city-scapes outside your window, running the Brooklyn avenues and highways with lights in the distance... I am an original Golden Era Hip Hop fan, a New York City native - I have huge love for Gang Starr and Primo. This IS one of the best songs and beats he ever made - but I have to agree with you... the instrumental is just a little... flat?
