THUMBSUPBITCHify so how do you think he recorder the actual song?

[@ExoticGamingGB]

@@E_Rico you think rappers record every single verse in one take? LOL

Guru's breath control was on point. So many other rappers need hypemen to fill their lines for them during live performances.

[@boogiedownbronx73]

actually during this performance his breathing was not good...he is reaching for breath

Incredible performance - the crowd really showed their love as well . Guru is one of the biggest losses to music ever and yet barely anyone knows who he is. At least his fanbase is strong and know what a genius he was

Underrated.. what u talking about.. he's one of the greats, true hiphop heads know they shit.. Guru is a legend

[@mustafahajj]

@Frischeparadies The man stated a fact. How many times does Guru's name comes up in those bullshit top 5's 10's or even top 20? The brother is most definitely underrated. True hiphop heads knows better. But how many of them has a voice in today's hiphop climate. Guru is underrated bro.

[@mustafahajj]

@Frischeparadies Perhaps the problem is your lack of understanding. I'm a fan of the emcee has been a fan sense 1988 that's one year before the record deal. Guru is indeed top 5. But he does NOT get the respect he deserves and if you are telling me he does than you sir are obviously delusional. No mention at those wack ass award shows nor on other emcees songs. Chub rock never forgets Guru. Maybe a few others. Industry wise, the legendary emcee was considered underground throughout his entire career.

[@puppetmaster8551]

Not underrated just under known, they didn’t sell a lot of records like a lot of other rap acts so he wasn’t as popular but pretty much everyone who knows Gang Starr has Guru rated super high and considers him an all time great. Gang Starr did deserve to be a lot more popular tho that’s forsure, they made some of the best rap songs/albums of all time. Guru is highly respected Gang Starr just didn’t get the popularity they deserved but the people who know their music know what’s up and how great guru and premier were

[@CoachDarren]

Real hip hop. True classic D.J in Premier and one of the best rappers ever Guru. And all you needed was turntables, mixer, microphone, and speakers. Here you see a crowd of people that appreciate what they are witnessing as they party. This was before cell phones now when people witness a live performance they don't get their party on because they are to busy taking pictures and videos. Nothing beats old school hip hop I'm blessed to have experience it.
