Ex to the next

Posted almost 4 years ago
Not an intentional trend after my recent break-up rap post by Aceyalone, I was just feeling like posting some Gangstarr and this track popped in my head. I always loved Guru's delivery, understandable and straight forward, he was never too flashy but always gave a solid verse that was clever and deliberate. And of course what can be said about DJ Premier. This track was produced in the beginning of his can't miss period where he was one of the kings of the NY hip-hop scene. Everyone wanted a Premier track, with his jazz and soul hooks over straight-edged Brooklyn boom-bap.

    Oatmeal says Yeah, all tracks on this one are classic. And Guru is incredible. I also just uncovered my Jazzmatazz album, and that one is better than I remembered.

    Hermes says The beat of the second track is meanwhile contained as a classic on sampling albums. ;). Nice ones.
