This weeks Throwback Friday, we pay homage to one of the greatest Hip Hop groups of all time Gangstarr. The D.J./M.C. pairing of DJ Premier and Keith E.E [Guru] shaped the sound of Hip Hop in the 90's kicking off the jazz sampling age with 1990's "Jazz Thing" taken from the soundtrack to Spike Lee's "Mo Better Blues". They continued to bring the "Boom Bap" formulating what is now known as the archetypal "New York Sound" right up to the no nonsense of their last album [to date] "The Ownerz" 2003.
This video is the classic "Words I Manifest" taken from their first album, 1989's "No More Mr Nice Guy".........
Our thoughts go out to Guru and wish him a speedy recovery, as one of my fellow Zombies can tell you, comas ain't no joke. For the latest updates on Guru's condition check D.J. Premiers Blog. Gifted Unlimited Rhymes Universal we salute you!
This one speaks for itself... What did you think that the Heart Breaks 2 that we put up at 11:30 was the after midnight special? Silly Rabbit. Dope! Peace Commissioner Plates!
Another cartoon hip hop mash up devoted to good ol' Mary Jane. This one is pretty sharp too. To see the last one we put up then zombie time travel here.. This one was done by an underground artist from Philadelphia and is pretty sharp to say the least. Which one is better? Who cares, they are both cool.
