I leave scientists mentally scared. Triple extra large. Wild like rock stars who smash guitars. - Inspectah Deck is the GOAT when it comes the opening bars of a verse.

Above the clouds where the sounds are original, infinite skills create miracles

Congrats to DJ Premier on Celebrated 25 Years of Gang Starr’s Moment of Truth

[MncMarcos]

It's so cool they used unusual things like speeches for this one

[jeffersonmabradah]

This sound soooo shaolin style, primo is a genius

[skythundersky]

So simple yet so complex. Preemo never fails to impress 🙌

[grinchoi]

My favorite Premier beat. Just masterful.

[GoodxJ]

LEGENDARY. One of my favorite groups of all time. LONG LIVE GURU & THE PREMIER!!!! GANG

[zaibuildertv]

[OuterSpace]

Probably my fav premo beat. Excellence

[mattv]

Always thought that the “up in the sky?” was Seinfeld!

[demejiuk]

This VIDEO not just the beat is a work of art and is literally layers of history.

[robertmatthews]

One of the best hip hop songs of all time.

[JazzMatazz]

idk maybe some non-producers would doubt about the mental music skill and would think that this probably could be an easy and simple beat, but, i produce hip hop for some years and some producers (who have been saw this video) might agree with me that having an idea like this is one of the hardest thing, and maybe i will never have the same dj premiere's musical ear. this is just art, art like a shakespeare's poem, a velasquez's square. producers' work is just underrated.

[isabellajimenez]

I feel like this song's worth mentioning - Amnesia by P.M. Dawn
has a great Paul McCartney and Wings sample!

[_thewhaat]

Favorite track all of time. Salute Preemo! RIP Guru

[cosmicspacelatte]
