Sometimes you gotta dig deep, when problems come nearĭon’t fear things get severe for everybody everywhere I find this as the best way to show remembrance to Guru.
I’m going to drop the lyrics to the second verse. The third verse is the listener’s moment of truth. The second verse is on a more personal level, and Guru explains his moment of truth. The first verse explains why everyone must meet their moment of truth. Guru drops three verses on the track all relating to people’s moment of truth. Nobody’s invincible, no plan is foolproof, we must all meet our moment of truth”. The song starts with one of the realest Hip-Hop choruses, “ They say it’s lonely at the top, in whatever you do, you always gotta watch motherfuckers around you. Let me start by saying this is one of the best Hip-Hop songs of all time. It seemed like they were both at the top of their games, and it’s hard to imagine that it would be anything less than classic material. I wish DJ Premier and Inspectah Deck could’ve made an album in this time (late 90’s).

The maker, owner, plus soul controller, Ayatollah rest in the sky, the cloud’s my sofa”. INS takes the same lyrical approach as Guru and bodies the track, “I span the universe, and return to earth to claim my throne. Guru is joined by Wu-Tang clansman Rebel INS on the second verse. The seven and a half combine, over the frontline, the ten percenters, promotin slander in the airtime”. “Illustrious feature, narrator you select, accompanied by Deck plus the DJ you respect. Premo builds up the beat flawlessly, and Guru takes no time to drop a lyrical ambush on the track. I believe this is one of the best intros into a song. He samples a quote from former president JFK and drops the beat in perfectly halfway through his shortened speech. Premo starts the beat with a few famous quotes (mixed with scratching) related to what’s above the clouds. Fresh!įeaturing Inspectah Deck Produced by Gang Starr I be bringing salvation through the way I rap, and you know, and I know, I’m nice like that”. On the second verse, he explains the track to us, “the beat is sinister, Primo makes you relax, I’m like the minister, when I be lacin the wax. Guru has one of the smoothest flows in Hip-Hop. What more can you ask for? – Real Hip-Hop with superior MCing and DJing track after track. They begin with an intro explaining their formula, “The rhyme style is elevated, the style of beats is elevated, but it’s still Guru and Premier…” They kept this simple formula for most of their career and it only lead to success. Gang Starr hits us with a standout on the first track of the album. So I’m going to review five of my favorite tracks from the album. It’s too long to do a track by track review on this album with 20 songs (no skits) especially when most of them are standouts. I also believe that Daily Operation is a classic, but I decided to review this album because I think this is Guru’s best lyrical performance. Moment Of Truth is not the only classic record from Gang Starr. They release six albums, and you can’t say anything bad about any of them. To make a long story short, the duo went on to have a successful career. DJ Premier joined Guru’s Gang Starr back in ’87 (after the other members left). Some people underrate Guru as an emcee because of DJ Premier’s production status. Guru was an inspiration to several rappers with his witty lyrics and fresh laid-back style. Guru a.k.a Keith Elam passed away last week (April 19th, 2010) from myeloma cancer.
