[@stevencoardvenice]

@@nickster1059 with my monostone style .. Like I said, people usually go quiet when this track comes on. That's the only compliment he needs.. "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

[@damonthomas8268]

Your fuckin idiot. Guru Considered one of the greatest Premier was from Texas suburbs and had know idea about way of the streets on the East Coast Guru put him on He was from Boston Himself but understood NY Hip Hop.

[@pilotperry4525]

I think list are pointless, but he's definitely one of the best.

he says he has a monotone sound and u are here listening to his voice still...

The beat, a masterpiece The rap, a masterpiece The video, a masterpiece Thank you, Hip-Hop.

Who the hell could dislike this? "Just like the seashore, I'm calm...and wild with my monotone style. 'Cause I don't need gimmicks. Gimme a fly beat, and I'm all in it." Fucking dope shit, bruh.

Ha! It's really not that serious. Like Guru, music is universal don't matter when you were jammin except for that dude that said '91 I don't think this joint existed back then. You were probably jammin' Daily Operation.

[@mizrobin3188]

I love this era of music…real hip hop, rock, country, etc.. it was pure and genuine. I’m a sound old but I hate today’s music…grew up in the 80s and 90s and there is nothing that compares to those decades musically. If it is somewhat appealing it has a 80/90s element to it. My generation Xrs looked back to the 70s for inspiration and the Zs look back to the 90s…full circle. Thanks Gangstarr for making a classic.

[@JohnEyubehdabron]

I agree with you 100%! We were FORTUNATE to have witnessed the BEST ERA OF JUST ABOUT EVERY GENRE OF MUSIC, INCLUDING HIP-HOP! It is hard to believe that, this young generation cannot come up with a new genre, that would shake the world. Just like you, l lost interest in main stream media, from the mid 90s. Ever since then, l just cannot find anything new that impresses me. Its the same predictable OVERATED artists all over the place. Right now, l think l may have found a new genre of music, that l can vibe with, after almost 15 years of disappointment. Am talking about Afrobeats. I enjoy it, because it is refreshing and has a lot of new artists. They remind of how Hip-Hop artists came out of the underground, and shook the world of music. l kid you not. For the first time in decades, l now have on my list, more than 50 Afrobeats artists (and still counting) that impresses me. Now time will tell, if Afrobeats will still be strong in the next 10 years.

Maria Lawson Right!!

[@frankmaseda3627]

Sure you right. It's a shame that what ever you wanna call it had to come to this. I don't know why some people call it Hip-Hop when it's not. Most of these new cats from this generation that are either mumble rappers or trap rappers don't come out saying that their what they really are cause maybe their ashamed and knowing they'll get rejected for not being real

[@frankmaseda3627]

When you have a chance check out *Noveliss* from Clear Soul Forces from today's generation. He's one of the few who keeps his art old school. Check out his track One time i guarantee you'll like it

[@emanatingf]

@@frankmaseda3627 Exactly but there's way more than just him. First of all there's every other member from his group that deserve props who are Ilajide, L.A.Z. & Emile Vincent who have solo careers also. There's Mad Squablz, VI Seconds, Mega Ran, SkyBlew, Ethereal Universe, Sammus, Denzel Curry, Joey Badass, Chris Roach, Supreme Flows, Barlitos, Yakuza Moon, Kendrick Lamar, Bas, Isaiah Rashad, Bishop Negru, Me (soon as I'm an aspiring innovative Poet & MC) & many more that have yet to be discovered even by me *that are all over the map Worldwide.* *There's a whole world out there & the more you look beneath the surface & Dig In The Crates the more gems you'll find.* I believe this generation *(as someone who's apart of it, I'm 16)* gets very overhated, misunderstood & generalized instead of being treated & respected fairly as Individuals who are worlds apart from each other mentally, intellectually, mindfully & in many other separating, distinctive ways. There's way more to it than what you see by the naked eye.

[@davidr3359]

I'm a California dude and I'm sorry, but NY hip hop dominates any other region, especially during this 90s era. Pac, Dre, EZ, Snoop, etc have some great tracks, but doesn't compete with Nas, Guru, Rakim, AZ, Mobb Deep, Big Pun, Big L, Biggie, etc etc - so many legends that were leagues above the rest.

[@rochekalifa2074]

true true was coke vs diet coke

[@SpiritualNaz]

I been telling ppl for years that NY hip hop in the 90s is like the galactic force literally every rapper and every rap group was different and lyrically gifted.

[@thienypham2738]

Even some abstract hip hop artists like Aesop Rock and Death Grips too, both also from NY, of course not just mainstream rap dominate
