The Gangstarr Press Kit, Circa 1990

Apr 29, 11:00am The Passion of the Weiss
Gang Starr Video Press Kit (1990)
Will Hagle is fully clad and glad. In 1990, Chrysalis Records’s biggest hit was Sinéad O’Connor’s “Nothing Compares 2 U.” Although the label was based in England and had found most of its success with artists like Billy Idol and Blondie, it had recently acquired Gang Starr, the then-fledgling hip-hop duo from America’s East Coast. A press-kit video from that time, in which Guru and DJ Premier were slated to release their sophomore LP Step Into The Arena , has surfaced online in the form of a digitized VHS-rip. The clip is a rare [...]

Stones Throw, Def Jam and Many More Sued Over “Bumpin’ Bus Stop” Sample

Apr 8, 3:32pm Potholes In My Blog
Stones Throw, Def Jam and Many More Sued Over “Bumpin’ Bus Stop” Sample Whether you know it or not, chances are you have heard some portion of the song "Bumpin' Bus Stop" by Thunder & Lightning. How? Well, because it's been sampled by the likes of Kanye West, DJ Premier, People Under The Stairs, Timbaland, Madlib, Lord Finesse... do I need to continue? Anyway, the legal owners of the song are looking to collect royalties over the sampling of the track and believe that they are owed millions, which makes sense given all the artists who have flipped "Bumpin' Bus Stop". The lawsuit names Stones Throw, Def Jam, Roc-A-Fella, Bad Boy, [...]

Hip Hop Hooray (Leah)

Sep 28, 2012, 10:49am Side One: Track One
Hip Hop Hooray (Leah) Just in case you didn't know, 1989 was a pretty amazing year.  For one, the USSR pulled out of Afghanistan after a nine-year occupation (man, they had the right idea there).  Also, apartheid in South Africa begins to be dismantled by the new Prime Minister.  The Velvet Revolution in Prague and the Cultural Revolution in China start up. And Ronald Goddamn Reagan finally leaves the White House. In case you weren't aware, there was also some significant and incredible hip hop made that year amid some serious international turmoil.  Today I've compiled a brief sample to begin your research.

Out Da Box TV: DJ Premier and Bumpy Knuckles (Part 2) [video] As promised, Out Da Box TV brings you Part 2 of our in-depth interview with DJ Premier & Bumpy Knuckles. This episode kicks off with a segment on the late and talented Gang Starr Emcee "Guru" where Bumpy Knuckles speaks on the effect that Guru had on lyricists like himself and others. We also shift in to the issue of Hip Hop not seeming to have respect for its past, as opposed to other genres of music who often pay homage to their elders / pioneers. As the interview continues, Premier takes the time to speak on his ability to [...]

Happy Birthday Keith “Guru” Elam (July 17, 1961 – April 19, 2010)

Jul 17, 2012, 10:33pm Mind Inversion
Happy Birthday Keith “Guru” Elam (July 17, 1961 – April 19, 2010) In the movie Sandlot , Babe Ruth made a quote that I will never forget: "Heroes get remembered, but legends never die". Keith "Guru" Elam is exactly the type of human that personifies what the Colossus of Clout was talking about. For the better part of two decades, Guru wrote some of the most insightful and intelligent rhymes in Hip-Hop. From the humble beginnings, Gifted Unlimited Rhymes Universal was a potent emcee, and he only became stronger as the years passed. There are a lot of emcees out there who always [...]

Summertime 3 is the third instalment in the duo's annual salute to all that is good with the warm months. A bunch the normal suspects (Jay-Z, Gangstarr) sit side by side here with [...]

Friday Five: Classic Hip-Hop Remixed

May 18, 2012, 4:00pm indie shuffle
Five classic hip-hop songs remixed by particularly good producers. From Flying Lotus' dissection of the Lil Wayne classic from a few years back to Detroit's Ta'Raach's animating rendition of the Gangstarr track that made lemonade famous, each of these producers tease out a new dimension in the original songs. My favorite is the last one by Samiyam, definitely holding the weight of an anchor, a chilling Mobb Deep remix by Samiyam amplifies the murderous and cold sentiment of the original. Enjoy! 1.

10 Criminally Underrated ’90s Songs

May 18, 2012, 10:30am Flavorwire
Radiohead/The Bends - 10 Black Star
In typical NME fashion, the magazine has caught on to '90s nostalgia a few years after the rest of the music media and released its list of the top 100 songs of the decade . Aside from a few unmistakably British flourishes (Pulp's "Common People" edging Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" out of the #1 spot, McAlmont & Butler's "Yes" in the top 10), there are few surprises. No one can deny the excellence of Radiohead's "Paranoid Android" or Daft Punk's "Da Funk," but we're getting sick of seeing the same songs honored over and over when [...]

Big Shug Album “I.M.4-EVA” Coming This July

May 17, 2012, 12:30pm JumpTheTurnstyle
Big Shug Album “I.M.4-EVA” Coming This July Shout out to Big Shug a/k/a Shugie Diamonds and everyone at Brick Records . Album drops July 24 . I can tell you straight from the source, this album is going to be worth a listen. Not only are there four Premo-produced tracks and appearances by Termanology , Reks , Slaine and others, but the liner notes (which I wrote from interviews with Shug) should be pretty eye-opening. Shug goes on the record about the origins of Gang Starr, getting locked up, his relationship with Guru and later Solaar, and [...]
