What does #FamilyAndLoyalty mean to you?
It means LOVE!!
Only real things in a fake world 👌
Family is loyalty. 🙏🙏🙏
All 4 me....Guru Say this....The Family is First
🙌🏻
Hearing GURU’s voice on a PREEMO’s beat in 2019... Can’t describe this feeling ! #RIPGuru
You're absolutely right!!!! Indescribable feeling
I'm sayin. This got me feeling some type of way. Never thought I'd hear a new Guru verse.
This song makes me sad and fuckin happy at the same time
He still here
sheevers all over my DAMN SKIN
Can we just permanently go back to this type of hip hop?
Echelon Is there a reboot button?
Yes please
Yes
There are so many artists out there who record this classic hip-hop. Just take a moment to look outside the mainstream media. Exactly like in the golden era.

Guru Was The Most Underrated Rapper Of All Time RIP GOAT
No cap
Guru underrated? Naaaah, everybdy know, he is a fucking legend!
true goat
you're delusional. guru is underrated by people who listen to hip pop. hip hop listeners give him his props
Lmfao 🙄no
J Cole’s verse is good in this but it just reinforces how epic Guru was… His verses are so accessible. The way he annunciates, the rhyme scheme. It’s all so dope
Guru will forever be a legend, but Cole is on whole different level.
In Loving Memory of Guru [1961 - 2010] RIP
Crazy how times flies,already 9 years since he's gone .Feels like it was yesterday...
Yes
its almost 10 years... ):
❤️😢
Imagine being Cole. Looking up to Gang Starr since a kid and now featuring on a song with the legends... #FamilyAndLoyalty
Facts🙏🙏🙏
That has to be a cool experience. I’m not a fan of j cole but he sounds good on Preemo beats
RIP to Guru he passed in 2010 this was a song thrown together guys #LearntheCulture
@@mainemidgette6316 yeah but still
he deserves it
Comparing Cole to the legends, just makes him sound infinitely better...kid was destined, in any era.
J. Cole is the reason why I have faith that true hip hop will never die. Hopefully not in my lifetime.
IT AINT GOIN NOWHERE BROTHER
Don't forget Saigon, Joey Badass and others.
This is how hip hop supposed to be
this is so much better than mumble rap
Cle tsp yup hard like a diamond
You ain't lying brother 🤔
Spot on..
YES
I dont think we understand how lucky we are to still be able to listen to Gangstarr
FACTS FAM GURU IS MY GUY FOR LIFE
thank god other people feel the same way !!!
Gangstarr's music is timeless
@@johnathanpride1370 goddam rite... Nuff said
YESS
J cole... No jewelry, no floss. Just hip hop and man.
The fact j cole actually did this is dope
Get the chills when i hear gurus voice..... 2019 history.... Shout out to Cole for being a Solid Poet
fareeeaall thoooooo
Me too; absolutely.
San Gabriel valley wassup
I was here thinking I was the only one 😮 damn GURU you are missed man.
Fuck i thought i was the only one.....its cuz its real fucking music
Man, can't imagine how much J. feels honored to be on this...
He even says it in the song. Definitely earned, that man is a healthy man.
On an interview with Sway, Premier said that Cole was SHAKING when he approached him with the feature request
"Who da thought you woulda been rhymin' with Ghost Guru flows forever like a diamond"
ArgoBeats shit bring chills hearing KING STAR AND COLE..SHIT CLASSIC
This is pretty hard to top no matter how good your rap career is.
Im a grown man but this song brought me tears in my eyes man! Rip Guru👊🏿
This song was a blessing I remember when it came out I was going through tough times and it's crazy what ONE song can do to you. RIP Guru ❤
Same here, still makes me tear up, it's so powerful and real
I thought I was the only one. As soon as I saw him with his lady and son I lost it. I miss this guy, his gifts unlimited and rhymes universal and his presence in an industry that desperately needs him.
Same family. 👊🏽 we’ll help keep real hip hop alive and ensure Guru’s voice is heard for forever. Let’s bump this sht loud 🔊
I remember the first time I ever heard Guru on a track. I couldn't believe what I was listening to. The fact that this man isn't mentioned with the greatest rappers of all time is an absolute shame. Guru was an absolute lyrical genius, the guy was 100 percent ahead of his time. A true rap God
Fr rip guru
this track proves he was ahead of time, a transcendent talent
Absolutely
I've learned a long time ago not to pay any attention to that top 5 madness. There are no such thing. If you have been listening to Rap music as long as I have there will always be a new Comer that will touch your heart and eventually become an elder statesmen and in today's climate perhaps even forgotten. But we True heads know and respect masters of this culture will call hiphop. Know that the late GREAT Guru is a master of rhyme.
@@mustafahajj perfectly stated...Salam
This song gives you 2 things - A life lesson - A beatmaking lesson
Those two things are literally Gang Starr in a nutshell
it gives us 3 things and you forgot the most important part: Guru
Lยςкץ L๏ς๏ Facts
Rip Guru🙏
DAWG!!!
This song makes me want to open a barber shop, get a masters in finance, open a community center, build a school, fix the hood, cry and pray to God.
Do it! It's time to enrich the hood... Everyone visits different areas except the hood... I'm waiting the day for the"hood" to be a place that's the hot spot.
That stampede coming to the us too..
No need for a Masters in Finanace when the Internet is a wasteland of knowledge.
Take care of the little ones in your community and they will see your vision(s) and carry out your dreams for you. Let them know there's people like you who balance out the negativity in the world. Keep on pushin!

DMX and guru meeting in heaven is like a freshly cut diamond.
We must protect J Cole at all cost.
From who?
WE MUST PROTECT DOPE MUSIC PERIOD AT ALL COSTS !
@@TariqAmazin True this is hiphop
Nikkei Pvck From you. Run along....
A Premier beat always feels like coming home
DJ premier is the best beat maker of all time. About 30 years of classic beats for rappers!
💯
prem can always make the smoothest beats
That's ridiculously accurate.
Straight out.
Still rocking with this in 2024 RIH Guru

Solid fucking hook
Or Love Yourz
In my book, J. Cole has transitioned to an OG after this verse. He's a legend.
he has been chosen
Along with Kendrick, Ab-Soul, Joey badass, Rapsody & a few more
@@hiiipoweriii2211 Kendrick is the only other one on that list currently
@@antdog775 and rapsody
hiiipower iii Kendrick no doubt....but let the rest live a little and grow...undeniable that they’re all incredible...but they’re all still coming into their peak I feel.
The first time I heard this song I shed a tear. Rest in peace, Guru!
Guru, Premier & J Cole on one track is like setting off a positive nuclear bomb for the mind and soul. RIP forever Guru🙏🏾🙏🏾💎
Man, J Cole’s verse was toooo cold - wish more current icons in the game did more tracks with old school rappers on their beats - cause this is 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
The D&J Show listen to Griselda
J cole would be the only one i would be cool rappin with guru ina song...this is legendary
What does this have to do with white supremacy?
The white man want let them do it
This goes out to my friend Dennis who passed away yesterday.. till we meet again son
May he rest in eternal peace!
Rest in peace ❤️
Rest In Paradise
Rest in power! Much respect.
Deep condolences family!! I know the feeling all too well.
It's always guru and premier and there's always a message involved 💯
I love this song, it's like getting to hear the voice again of a dear friend & family member who passed away.
Premier needs to produce an entire J Cole album.
LIVEFRMNYC I said the same thing. The new generation rap game is not ready for that.
Hell no!!!!!! that's not his sound. Just listen to his verse in this song. It doesn't even flow well. He is flowing like he does nowadays in his albums.
Expensive Talk that’s what I’m saying it does flow
Fink Ployd You need your ears checked if you think Cole's verse didn't flow.
@Expensive Talk You've never listened to Gangstarr. That new flow from Jcole is trash and generic.
i think i cried when i heard guru's voice on such a reminiscent beat 😭
I too wasn't ready...
J Cole flow is phenomenal he just be rapping
Cole one of the only rappers today worthy of being on a Gang Starr track.
Yuh yuh 😄
NO DOUBT!
You so damnnnnn right
You must not listen to a lot of rap.

Best Song Of 2019... We miss you Guru!!!
You should mention this on your channel... 30,000 views makes me sad... This shit is 90's vibes in 2019...
WORD
Best hip hop song of the decade!
Hello
W
ColeWorld 🤟🏾
Yea. 9.6 Million still believe, & Know What REAL Hip-hop is. Long live Real Rap, Guru Gangstarr! ⭐
Old School Hip Hop sound is slowly coming back
i dont think im old school but i definitely have a hip hop style, care to hear one of my songs Pac?
I wish that was true but only a handful of artist actually can make music like this and make it sound good in 2019....even some of the greats are just going with the flow and making garbage just to try and fit in with today's music instead of new classic material like this. R.I.P. Guru, Preemo nasty as always, J Cole blessed this track and continues being one of the chosen few🙏
Inshallah
Dude. Boom bap never left
it never left y'all just don't know where to look lol
Remarkable getting new music and a video release from Gang Starr in 2019.
That's mind blowing
Is that guru son the white black guy
@Lonnie Nunez It's called " Light Skin " lol
Wishing on an album of unreleased songs.
Nk when Guru died premo mentioned people voluntarily wanting to send him unreleased vocals that guru did in Europe and other parts
"Look at the youth just like a precious pebble, meant to be protected"
This joint is a freshly cut 💎. Rhyme in Peace, Guru. Cole bringin it as always.
Cole need to work with premier more he had him deep in his element
Will Rich facts.
absolutely
No
All he spat was some knock off mos def
Will Rich ‼️‼️‼️
I wish we had more hip hop like this in 2019.
if you want real hip hop, check out my music
im so glad to hear you say that. hip hop from the 80s and 90s is a lifeline STILL to many of us! show people the classics... they should get to experience the same feelings we did back then hearing music for the first time. :)
staff curtis amen to that bro
They kids like bullshit nowadays
No doubt, we need more Locksmith too
Cole beyond gifted.
RIP GURU 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 🔥🔥🔥🔥 J Cole
Can't believe it's 2019 and this song would have fit perfectly with the Moment of Truth album.
Definitely💯 my favorite album by them
DITO
I'm a 40 year old dad..who watched guru on the BOX...back in the day... now I have a 20 year old son...and I'm blessed to be able to pass the God Guru music on to a new generation.... I watched this video with my son...and could not hold back the tears 😢...(pause)... good to see guru son in video...salute to the young boy Jay Cole....great way to connect the generations....salute to premiere...continue the good work my brother... another CLASSIC on deck... RIP Guru
About to be 40 myself bro, God willing. We definitely grew up during the best era of Hip hop & R&B. It ain't the same no more but at least we lived through it. 💯
Smith Joe your comment is a tear jerker bro. I can dig it
Really talk
"79... rub your ass in the moonshine" We the same age fam and my oldest is 19, but I feel the same way. Respect.
Smith Joe I’m 14, this music and older like Wu-tang and Rakim are bomb
RIP Guru, 🇿🇼 Zimbabwe paying homage❤
Cole slaughtered this verse❤!!💪🏾💪🏾
✔Sweet tunes ✔Good vibes ✔Real hip hop Legends ◻More of this in 2019 🔜
plenty of this if you look further than radio
Well Danny Brown just dropped his new album which is ridiculous. Hip-Hops in a good place
2019? Boiii we closer to 2020 at this point
At the age of 37 cant hold tears...
The world needs Guru 2024!
We push the truth against the neck of Devils💯🔥
listening to a new GANGSTARR track in 2019 Is like finding a raw uncut diamond in the ruff. #RIPGURU
📠
I swear!!
Word
Tearing up bad...RIP GURU...N we lost a good friend. ..CAPONE from LU3
Yup
"To the OGs, I'm thankin' you now Was watchin' you when you was pavin' the ground I copied your cadence, I mirrored your style I studied the greats, I'm the greatest right now" This is the first tought that came to mind the first time I heard this song.
J cole droppin science on this jawn and this beat is crazy
I cant believe beats like this get released in 2019. Man Im so happy
Yea real Hip-Hop making a comeback. Mumble rap is dying a slow death soon
Pro era do shit like this every day..where you been?
@@beatsbytrapsouljoe4150 lol true
Bro you haven't been listening too much hip hop than in the last couple of years.
hip hop is not dead.... just needed some CPR.
I don’t know how many times I’ve heard this song and I still get the chills. Even tho Hip Hop has evolved and I’m ok with that. This to me is the sound of Hip Hop.
Well said. Everybody old & young should love Hip Hop of every era
That I couldn't say it any better my friend that's true as
💯
@TIDDER yeah we the people that knows true music
Hell yeah, this boom bap, sample production has always been my favorite. I feel like these beats allow you to use new types of flows and rap at a slower pace which allows you to tell stories. I absolutely love that.
Another classic ! RIP 2023 you are missed more than ever ✊️
Cool seeing the Millennial Gen Rapper still respect these legends. RIP Guru
Guess what!? today is October the 3rd, 2019. EXACTLY 30 YEARS AGO, MC Lyte made a song, with that sample in it, _"Like a Freshly Cut Diamond"_ ... and this video came out exactly 30 years after October the 3rd, 1989..... Nice one Premo!
Wow that's crazy!
Marsel Music this comment is 🔥🔥 you are speaking all kinds of truth 🙏🏾
Somebody did their homework! 📖📚
@@daneilo777 I'm glad you proved humans use their brain
its the details
Never thought I would be hearing this 2019, hip-hop never died... it just branched off
Maleki Hopkins true that.
The oldschool style is still out there bud! All the good shit just get drowned by the mumble ect.
True stuff
Was always there mane never forget the classics pimp
it kinda just, lost itself. to the point where stupid youtubers were abusing it. But the feel good aspect of REAL Hip-Hop never went anywhere...just hid underground
Growing up in Houston, I eventually would find my way to the sounds of DJ Premier. Heard his collabs with Nas, Rakim, Jay-Z, etc., but I regret not coming across Guru and Gang Starr work until after Guru passed. Dude was indeed gifted. It just made me miss real hip-hop even more.
I teared up after watching this..... Guru will always be with us in spirit & in or hearts. But we can always find him... JUST PRESS PLAY.... #RIP
When Cole said "Who'd have thought you'd been here rhyming with ghosts" Beautiful. What a great way to honor Guru
✌
Exactly 💯
Really resonated with that line man. Cole's a gem (guess you can say a diamond lol) in today's industry, it's only fitting he was the one they chose to honor Guru's legacy on this track.
Double entendre to mean rappers with ghost writers?
He shoulda said rhyming wit GOATS
oh man, so nice to hear old school jams in 2019
I still can't believe we got to hear more of Guru in 2019, freaking Unreal man!

May your Soul Sleep in Paradise ..The Late..Great Keith "GURU" Elam...ALL PRAISE DUE TO ALLAH
Hearing this song as it debut while in my office made me smile and cry at the same time. When you love family that you miss so much it’s easy to recall all the experiences you’ve shared. It’s Mostly the voice plus Preemo with the tracks to inspire Guru’s next line, next song, next album, and soon and so on, I feel the connection like family and I hav3 the loyalty to never have another rapper or producer over Gang Starr!
I feel your words in my heart man. Love & peace to you and yours 🤞🏽💙
Its official boys. J. Cole is officially a great
TJisBORED I think his verse should be looked back on one of the ones that solidified his place in hip-hop. It’s an art to blend lyricism and messaging.
Done been better than great.
Hi, you must be new here.
He been great man
We must protect jcole at all cost!
The first Gangstarr record I ever heard was ‘Code of The Streets’ back in 1994 and I’ve been a fan ever since. I bought every album Gangstarr ever released including the Greatest Hits double album. I had the honour of meeting the legendary Premo in London, back in the Summer of 2003 and he was gracious enough to allow me take a photograph with him after he asked me for directions to the nearest sneaker store. To hear the Immortal MC Guru and DJ Premier in 2019 as a long-standing Gangstarr Foundation supporter brings tears to my eyes. Salute to Cole for paying homage. Real Hip Hop 💯
DwayneSummers was it on Tim Westwood show by any chance?
Ethan No bro, though I spent many a weekend listening to Tim Westwood, recording his shows onto cassette tapes that I still have to his day. I met Premo back in the Summer of 2003. I was in an area of London called Angel for a conference and after went to go get some food from the one of the local restaurants . He was just there on the busy street, talking into his phone and walked up to me and to ask for directions. At first I didn’t recognise him because he wasn’t wearing his usual fitted hat but as soon as he spoke and I heard the his raspy familiar East Coast accent I knew it was the world famous producer for Biggie, Nas, Jay-Z, Group Home and the list goes on. I can say without shame that I fanned out. Angel wasn’t as culturally diverse an area back then so I think because I was wearing a Yankee fitted at the time, Premo recognised I was from the culture which probably made him comfortable enough to ask a complete stranger where the nearest sneaker store was. I directed him to the local Footlocker and JD Sports store and the humbly asked for a picture to which he replied “No Question!”. It was truly an honourable moment. I’ve now put the picture up as my profile pic here. One of my favourite Hip Hop memories. Salute the Gangstarr Foundation and RIP Gifted Unlimited Rhymes Universal aka GURU 💯
DwayneSummers love that mate
damn his son is a spitting image of guru...R.I.P u wil be missed but never forgotten!
FAMILY AND LOYALTY...MISS YOU GURU..THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING
Warms my fucking heart to hear some real hip-hop in 2019. Crazy I was literally just saying guru was my favorite rapper, so imagine my surprise when I saw this in my suggested column...

when i listen to this, i get vibes like KRS-ONE: a friend. you dont need 50 000 friends, i could have 4 friends mixed between male and females and whatever partner they choose, all that matters is if they willing to be through those hard and rough times, nobody realises what they lose until they already lost it. so make sure you dont lose out on your chances people. rip guru.
