Classic Material: Gang Starr “Full Clip”
Guru and DJ Premier comprise the legendary, but extremely underrated and under-appreciated, hip-hop duo, Gang Starr. Despite their name, Gang Starr’s music was intelligent and conscious. Guru in my opinion is one of the 10 greatest MC’s of all time while his DJ, Preemo (as he is often called) has been one of the most sought after and prolific producers of hip hop music. Gang Starr formed over 15 years ago in NYC and has an extremely impressive music catalog. Rumors have flown in the past 5 or so years about the group disbanding, but neither member has yet to confirm, and DJ Premier has publicly stated that he would love to continue with the Gang Starr project.
This is their 1999 video “Full Clip” off of the album by the same name and dedicated to the then recently passed rapper Big L.
