Guru and DJ Premier of Gangstarr

When it comes to American Hip Hop, Gangstarr will survive the test of time as years pass. Brooklyn based (or Boston-depending on who you talk to) They have a solid formula, a clear message, and a producer/DJ that is a big fan of classic jazz. Gangstarr released their last album in 2003.


In 2010 Guru passed away from health reasons. This is a cool homemade video found on youtube and a sample of the subject matter that Guru was pretty consistent with through 6 Gangstarr albums.


DJ Premier produced and mixed every album but also made beats for other artist. These are 2 good examples.
