Post by: Styles1 on August 30, 2007, 11:34:34 AM: i saw Guru perform alot of these songs live one night at The Troubador a few years back... he didn't have Primo with him but Mr. Choc from Power 106 took his place for the night.

it was a hell of a night...
Title: Re: Mass Appeal (Gangs Starr Appreciation Thread)
Post by: Conan on August 30, 2007, 12:28:37 PM: I've said it once, and I'll say it again. Guru = One of the top 10 MCs of all time. I was so fucked off that MTV's Brain Trust never included him on their list of greatest MCs. Ah well, it's MTV.
Title: Re: Mass Appeal (Gangs Starr Appreciation Thread)
Post by: rik on August 30, 2007, 12:34:40 PM: They need to get back together and make another CLASSIC!
Title: Re: Mass Appeal (Gangs Starr Appreciation Thread)
Post by: Styles1 on August 30, 2007, 12:55:38 PM: yeah i've always enjoyed Guru's talking style of rap....no screaming...nothing rushed or hurried...just smooth steadiness...

since we are naming classics, I will add:

Ex Girl To The Next Girl
Take It Personal

Post by: On The Edge of Insanity on August 31, 2007, 05:31:07 AM: Between these two, and Pete and CL, you've got the two best Producer - MC combinations on the East. They just dropped classic after classic and are sorely underappreciated by most. But then again they never chased Mass Appeal.

Just a few more videos.
