i know you can get beats from the dopeist most progressive producers in the country... your GURU for god sakes.. Holla at Nicolay.
Daaaam....You know how dope a whole album with Nicolay and Guru would be too? That has to be a dope combo, but still add Primo in there to sweeten the deal. hehe.

i actually listened to the track today. to be honest, it sounds like a typical guru track .. just in auto tune.. thats what i mean he isnt a great rapper to me.. if u replaced the beat with a premo cut and took away the autotune it would sound just like his other stuff.. its not like he changed his whole demeanor.. its still him, just produced differently. What ur hearing is not the degeneration of guru, but simply the absence of preemo.

Exactly.

I listened to it again as well...and thought the same thing....It just doesn't sound right...it actually sounds forced...

GURU is caught between a rock and a hard place musically. I think from now until the moment he hangs up the mic, he'll forever be linked to DJ Premier, even though they haven't released music as Gangstarr in quite some time.

I applaud GURU's effort to move forward musically - and as an artist he has always tried to push the boundaries of his talent (see: Jazzmatazz) and with his newer stuff with Solaar, believe it or not, he's trying to show "the game" and younger artists that he's still relevant and can do this just as well as anyone, which is why he took the mis-step of "adding a lil' T Pain" to his vocals.

I know Gangstarr as a group had a lot of label woes, and things got kinda stale which is why he went w/ a new partnership and indie label direction w/ Solaar. My thoughts are that die hard GURU/Gangstarr fans will never accept Solaar as a substitute no matter what they put together as a collective.

Heard the song again today....

Guru over that beat is horrible.....When the beat isn't that great, he sounds like shit.....

He doesn't have the swag to be under those beats....or that down south voice...

BTW the beat kinda sucks....

FWMJ's blog pretty much summed up my feelings

Dear GURU

HANG UP THE MIC. YOU USED TO BE ONE OF MY FAVOURITES. YOU’VE MADE CLASSIC ALBUMS WITH A CLASSIC DJ, PRODUCER, AND ICON IN THIS MUSIC AND CULTURE OF HIP HOP. BUT YOU ARE PLAYING YOURSELF RIGHT NOW. YOU NEED TO GET RID OF THESE YES MEN AROUND YOU, FIND SOMEONE THAT CARES AND HAVE THE INTERVENTION OF ALL INTERVENTIONS. IS THIS REALLY ONE OF THE LAST THINGS YOU WANT PEOPLE TO REMEMBER ABOUT YOUR CAREER? YOU FUCKIN BLEW IT! REEVALUATE WHAT YOU ARE DOING, BECAUSE YOU ARE PLAYING YOURSELF.

PRIMO, GETCHA BOY!

well said
