Gang Starr Take It Personal The Late Show 1992

[@MrGooie]

Not for nothing gotta give Leno props on this one. He didn't bring no commercial ass rappers. He brought the crème de la crème. RIP GURU

[@DavidRichardson95]

100% facts, he started to bring the best of the best in R&B and hip hop at that time, and I believed that's when Arsenio (at that time at his peak) and show started to dwindle in the ratings.

[@brownpapi2634]

FOH....he only did that because Arsenio had BEEN giving these acts a nationwide platform and had the young black audience on lock. Stop giving these white MFers credit for doing what they should've been doing

[@alvafelix4539]

Remember Branford Marsalis was the band leader for that show ​@@DavidRichardson95

[@jonnyfitz6618]

paying homage to the importance of the DJ thats real Hiphop.

[@VDVz]

Especially, paying homage to (arguably) the greatest DJ hip-hop has ever seen :)

[@xlxl9440]

@@VDVz my opinion Jazzy Jeff is. But Premo is a close second.

[@sekohero]

THIS IS ONE OF THE HARDEST BEATS EVER

[@NotFound-dz9dl]

DJ Premier is such a good scratcher.

[@EffDinero8]

Big shout to Jay Leno for keepin' it hood in 92!

[@fantasyguru26]

Gang Starr always kept it real. Icons of hip hop. RIP Guru

[@rcole718]

Never knew Gang Starr was on Leno's show. He probably never even heard of them before this.

[@mthomasiv]

This was awesome in many ways. Primo gives a true Hip Hop lesson followed by a performance with the best drum break he ever manipulated.

[@GLockStarlinerNumber1]

We have some of the architects of the art form right there. 💯💯💯💯

[@docdrew87]

I remember seeing this live. Branford Marsalis was Jay’s band leader and was also Buckshot LeFonque. He got Jay to get his boy, Preem on. This was the dopest Tonight Show ever. Had goosebumps. Still do!

[@lpizzal1]

Top 10 of all time Dj Premier

[@demanotoriouslifeend]

I like his scratches in this better than the lp version

[@robezy0]

Look at gurus movement on stage, its just legendary

[@elketerbentzadik]

Saw this when it originally aired back in the day. It was massive to see/hear Primo cutting live and for him to get the chance to explain the root of hip-hop, the DJ.

[@philaman1972]

Primo & Guru showed Jay and the rest of America how it's done!

[@DJESDEE]

1992, the hip hop rules were already written by best hip hop group of all time, period! RIP GURU

[@DJESDEE]

+2stepracing u know, all that is subjective, you prefer ATQC, i prefer Gang Starr, what else?

[@jamalevans1574]

2stepracing are u serious???

[@duuurrk]

2stepracing ATCQ released their first single in 1989... Gang Starr released their first single in 1987 sooooo... your wrong. Although I really wouldn’t consider Gang Starr a group. It’s a duo.

[@HRDK-SKLETRMUMMR-MEGTRN]

Newbies be swearing up & down they're expert Hip-Hop historians! FUCKING HILARY-ARIOUS???? 😳😲😬😵😄😅😂

[@madrecka]

Classic! I didn't watch Jay Leno back in '92 and that is why I didn't think Gang Starr was on their show. Props to Leno for having them on their. RIP Guru.

[@mirakworld434]

Gang Starr had a relationship with Leno through Bradford Marsalis, as he worked on Leno’s show at the time. Check out an album called Buckshot le fonque- breakfast at Denny’s, in which preem uses Leno’s vocals from that show.

[@DavidRichardson95]

Ever since that album dropped last week I've became a bigger fan of Gang Starr. And this clip is here just solidifies why I am a fan. Salute Premier!! #RIPGuru

[@nasrjibril3307]

No 1 rap producer in history, Dj premier

[@qwesence1]

I just notice how Primo has the mixer on the side, instead of in the middle! Still dope! R.I.P. GURU!

[@sgtcreasegrease]

Old af but... Rite-handed scratchers rise up! lmfao

[@fastforward223]

Instrumentals on the right deck and the acapella on the left deck. And a 2 channel mixer on the side.

That’s pure Hip Hop, real one !. A good lesson on how important the DJ is, and this one, was a killer.

[@R1663]

Eterno guru 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

[@DJShoji]

I remember this watching this on TV aired in 90s'. It was clearly because of Branford Marsalis, (Buckshot LeFonque connection with Premier), being the Late Show Band leader on the show. It was single cut song from their 2nd LP, but side B prevailed (DWYCK was on the side B of the single.)

[@bulldoggmailcom]

I love that song. Smooth dropped jewels on that track.

[@RemixRick1]

Real Hip Hop culture showcased here! Credit to Jay Leno for respectfully presenting it to an audience that may not have been exposed. Bonus: they were entertained AND informed!

Here after watching “So Wassup?” on the episode Buckshot Lefonque.

[@TEACHYOUTEEWHY]

Staying away from the Turntables then was very important especially if people wants the DJ to be good to the best of his ability because when you bump into the turntables, the record WILL skip. Watch House Party and you'll see what I mean yo.

Hip-Hop is so much "bigger" now than it was then, but how often do you see the culture get shine on a mainstream platform nowadays, on some real, informative shit? Instead its all about people frontin with their supposedly edgy personas
