Gang Starr - Positivity

[@jonjones2219]

Whoever disliked this doesn't deserve to even listen to it. Rip my dude

[@martinridgway3062]

was about to say the same damn thing. I mean what the fuck these people even here for.... we UK we had a mad minute with Gangstarr and Guru in 87.. Preemo vexed because his turntables was jumping... they was on wallpapering tables. My crew held the stage with them I'll try and dig out the pictures

[@soultribej]

doesn't deserve to even live no more

[@intenseninja82]

Facts

[@LPDip]

These are stupid kids who were born after 2008 year, and listen only Justin Bieber...

[@javi_vercetti]

Fuck em bro. They're ignorant to real music.

[@MrPloxDa3rd]

Guru will always be alive through his music...

[@CDogg-kn4wt]

I never understood why people slept on this joint i'm 54 yo and i still listen to this song a hip hop masterpiece.

[@martinridgway3062]

My funeral joint.. I'm 53

[@rustyzeetv2948]

[@OuchMashups]

Me too! I listen to this whole album at least 4x A year

[@carmenfernandes7147]

52 and still rocking this which my daughter doesn't understand sad......

[@izzythomas848]

I think Manifest kind of overshadowed this one. When I think of Gang Starr when they first came out, I always forget this joint. Think it was their second single after Mannifest.

[@jrvapor]

Guru RIP!!! Gangstarr stays on my rotation, If you put one their albums in your rotation a week, their Shit never gets old.

[@lee72artis]

Gangstarr 4 life... Always positive, never negative

[@blakricanwitlocs]

RIP Guru....god listen to dj premiere scratch is like music to my ears...Guru was just on another level! GANGSTAR!

[@imzm4186]

When hip hop really stood for something.

[@theruddyone6443]

Say that again

[@dimitri-fr7ev]

Hip-hop always stood for something, people just didn't know what it was !

[@martinridgway3062]

Blessed enough to have my brother calling my name off stage and bear hugging me. He's missed.

[@tridactmusic]

All elements of hip hop on display. Beautiful and positive

[@PeekaBooo24]

When this came out, Hip-Hop was mainly on that positive, pro-Black vibe (late 80s- early 90s), but Gangsta rap was starting to snowball down the mountain...

[@liamchristopher9075]

My first Gang Starr single! RIP Guru.

[@9MindGrandKuwsh]

I remember when the vid dropped...remember u follow the music, the lyrics become a part of the spirit, remember the art was made to teach....teenagers of the late 80s and 90s...we were walking with God.

[@VBaskin2010]

That's What Today's Hip-Hop Stars Should Need, A Little Bit Of That Positivity.

[@fantasyguru26]

In the words of KRS-One "Rappers spit lines that are mostly illegal. Emcees spit rhymes to uplift their people." Therefore Guru was the ultimate MC. RIP

[@DEVINEJUSTICEALLAH72]

Facts!!Hip hop in its purest form.

[@McRemmyBaby]

You know it man

[@TruSkoolHooligan]

One of their best tracks.

[@ewellboyer8405]

That damn horn helps to turn this track out..I've NEVER forgotten it! To this day I'm still disappointed that the album version doesn't sound like this!

[@austinedwards5577]

[@t.c.o.g.773]

Guru's ability to paint a visual picture of where he we're in imagination and just being able to bring that of what he imagined to the front of his mind and make it come to life and make you dance to it and connect people of all cultures and ethnicities was amazing I really think that I'm a dope emcee myself but I'm not anywhere near as dope as guru and that was something I recognized when he was alive rest in heavenly beats guru😇😇😇😇😇😇😇

[@jayskicksnfits9372]

It's NOT we're, it's *WERE* . WE'RE is a contraction for "WE ARE" .

TheAlmightyClipse No hope! They ain't built like that.

[@mannybroi5142]

TheAlmightyClipse positivity never negative Gang Starr Rip my brotha missed the real hip hop my top 5 lyricist

[@brianbish5582]

Check out Skyzoo, probably the best all-around rapper thats from the new era. Noone will ever touch gangstarr but on an individual level, skyzoo has incredible talent. The next best lyricist after the previous greats have slowly started to retire or otherwise step away like biggie, nas, jay-z, big daddy kane, kool g rap, etc. Skyzoo has an amazing flow, delivery and presence on the mic like that of jay-z or big daddy kane. His rhyme schemes and patterns are on par with that of Nas or KGR, and even though he doesn't use as many multiple syllable or multiple word rhymes in his songs, he uses some mixed with some of the best wordplay/double entongras used in the game today. Another plus for him is his versatility, as Sky shines ridiculously bright on a multitude of different style songs, from bragadossis, story telling, back and forth (duo), fast-paced, slower-paced, coming of age, party-themed, abstract-based, etc.. There is not a type of song that this man cannot just thoroughly destroy...well except a garbage trap track, although he probably could but who would want to hear that kind of trash music when there's so much good music out there. Hit me up with any questions at all.

[@playa1877]

How you gone dislike a song called positivity? Dislike gang strikes again
