Gang Starr - Take Flight (Militia, Pt. 4) (Feat. Big Shug & Freddie Foxxx) [Official Audio]

[@emceeunderdogrising]

Freddie Foxxx is sadly slept on. Dude is one of the most rugged rappers to ever exist. Guy is legit.

Legit since 1989!! He loves taking hip hop seriously!

Guru’s verse sounds like he’s actually speaking from the grave here honestly. Thank you for this masterpiece Premier!

[@BugOnAChip]

Holy shit. New Gang Starr. I'm speechless. Goosebumps. Monumental moment in hip hop.

crazy how gurus verse is filled with lyrics like "I never left" and "i'm back you know" even though it was all recorded 10-15 years ago

What? Hip hop never gave up my equal. You, myself, foxx, premo, shug, other posters on here! Stop letting mainstream moves be the narrative you roll with it. Popularity amongst outsiders don't mean shit to me, hip hop always lives yell

Dj Premier is like James Cameron. He is a visionary in movies. And Primo again in Hip Hop. They always do a job that no one has an answer to. Salute Gang Starr! AMAZING TRACK!

[@Brutal_Beats]

James Cameron sucked as a film producer in Terminator 6. I watched it. It is a peace of trash. So, back in the days he was a great director. Nowadays he`s weak. And Dj Premier is real hip hop tallent. He stays undisputible #1 producer in Hip Hop. So, please, do not compare him to JC. Word.

[@beatsinmycrates]

There an interview on on documentary called Scratch where he says he likes to match the sample/beat with the artist.

[@TheNewFD12346]

NLOStyle James Cameron was only a producer for T6 because he created Terminator. He didn’t have anything to do with T6 except for collecting a check.

[@argeeman]

@@TheNewFD12346 But I did not talk specifically about the Terminator but I talked about his work in general.

[@Brutal_Beats]

@@TheNewFD12346 JC was a part of team. Because he announced and promoted the movie. And taking Linda Hamilton and Arnold Shwarzenegger was his idea. So nowadays he just went down with his movie vision. But it`s just not worth discussing.

[@ShaleNBriskin74]

Shug with the nice F.A.L.A. reference to end his verse. Just perfect! I love it. The beat, the three verses, just a brilliant masterpiece.

[@roberthealey7739]

[@WotDogLikeGo]

It’s got that militant drive characteristic of the Militia series, but it’s like melancholy too to match the fact that it’s the first posthumous guru cut in the series. Those mournful yet bright strings in the verse. Premier was really on point on this one.

[@Nando6413]

There are no words to describe this song! The track is INCREDIBLE! Premier is KILLING IT RIGHT NOW! I cant believe what I just heard! I also cant believe more rappers like Nas and Jay arent rapping to these type of tracks anymore. As far as artists, they are OUT OF THEIR MINDS not getting tracks from Premiere anymore. To me, it's illogical. If I was Nas, I'd be on the phone with Premier constantly.

There was a 2016 Snoop Dogg interview with Premiere and he actually says that him and Nas was supposed to be doing an entire album together. So far the plan hasn't materialized yet but it was mentioned. Premiere actually said he was waiting on Nas to make it happen.

Yo, Guru’s verse is from Stand Up featuring Damian Marley. Off Jazzmatazz Vol. 4

[@KindaKrispy]

Good catch there, brother. Ho-Lar did Preme dirty by selling already released vocals :( Holar said he had enough unreleased recorded vocals for a Guru 8.0 Beyond the grave and Guru 9.0 album! There was another track "Bring it back here" on this album that was taken from"wheres our money" on the "Baldheadslick " album

[@Chris-uv5fl]

There’s some parts that are slightly altered in the verse so the on Militia part 4 must’ve been Guru’s first take at that and didn’t like how it sounded, so altered some parts into the final verse on Jazzmatazz 4. And @In4mant, yeah I caught that too. Bring It Back Here’s verse was also a verse Guru used to perform at live shows inbetween songs as a way to get the crowd hyped as if he was freestyling and showing off his rap skills. Hahah it’s awesome. His verse on What’s Real is from a song of the same name by Fong Sai U. And the verse and chorus from Lights Out are from Lights Out by Agallah Bishop Don featuring Guru and a couple of other guys who lay dope verses. The original is produced by Masta Ace. I’ve been going through the Solar and Guru catalog to try to locate if any of the other songs can be traced back to them. And I’m looking at Guru features too, considering Lights Out and What’s Real’s sources. If anyone finds anymore, let me know so I can’t edit this comment with them!
