[@Capo98y]

In my opinion not hardest but nostalgic and deep

[@PEDROSILVA-xe1yr]

I dont agree, this beat is so chill and smooth and lack of jnstrumental, you can rap under the beat, unlike other other beats where you try to syncronize the rhyme to the beat, here you can freestyle. I guess the technique its to rap under the beat and only upon at the ryhme of the verse. Im no expert, but do love the beat too

"While they be losin the race tryin to chase mass appeal..." Did u not understand the message of the song? 😉. Definitely also recommend "Hip Hop Fury" by GZA (1999) for a similar track that makes people quiet. You'll love it! And I've been to Amsterdam. Cool city. Nice people. Very trustworthy. I'm American from Los Angeles. I remember this one cab driver I had in Holland back in 1999 put on Kool Mo Dee in his CD player when he realized I was American. The way that DJ premiere and RZA take clips of Jazz and turn it into something truly special is amazing

Hey this song is amazing, Gang Starr is mythical, but you guys are reductivist suckers. Who even cares what you have to say when you generalize it like this so much? With no setup or context? Ew, y'all are lame ass posers, Guru preaches thinking for yourself, not falling in love with a single form. Super lame to see you guys barking up the wrong tree like this. You missed alot since Guru if you think it's all garbage. What an obnoxious and ridiculous generalization to make here. You guys aren't as "with it" as you think you are - you're lame dinosaurs contributing to the same boring-ass "BACK IN MY DAY" nonsense. You talk like that? You're stuck in time, you aren't respecting the passing of it, and your opinions don't matter. Mine doesn't either, but seeing you idiots circle jerk like "fax B no one does this!!" DID YOU IDIOTS JUST HEAR J COLES FREESTYLE?! WHAT'S WRONG WITH ALL YOU FRICKIN' DUDS. Really, it infuriates me you guys aren't putting your heads to better use.
