Am I the only one who thinks Guru was overrated?

[BmoreGorilla]

No disrespect to the dead but dude was slightly above average at best. He never had the best verse on any of those posse cuts.

I mean dude has been outshined by the likes of Big Shugg, Lil Dap, and Greg Nice

This just further cements the case for Primo being the GOAT cuz Gangstarr is truly a legendary group with classics under their belt. Guru fit Primos production like a glove. Or did Primo just make Guru sound better? It would be hard for me to believe that Guru would be considered a legend if he had been paired with anyone else

I wish gangstarr was jeru da damaja and primo..

Guru was cool,but Jeru over primo beats was

I am Groot!

 

[Kitsch]

Yes.

 

[The_Sheff]

I cant stand his voice, just straight up monotone, no energy at all.

Dude was very monotone. I couldn't picture him over anyone else's production

 

[Doin2Much Williams]

Jeru and Guru should have been the REAL Group Home.



Had it been them rapping over those beats instead of the Cheef Queef level spitters of that time... the reviews and sales would have been much different.



Imagine The damaja spitting over Serious Rap Shiit.

He was only tolerable because of Premier's production.

Imagine guru and Swizz beatz?

Over the money cash hoes beat?

I still enjoy him though

 

[SirBiatch]

Overrated in what sense? Who's saying Guru is top 10 or anything like that?

 

[The Ruler 09]

I think Guru was excellent and is infact underrated. Was a huge part of Gang Starr making so much dope music and he actually founded Gang Starr and for all intents and purposes discovered Premo too.

 

[The Ruler 09]

And Guru has great songs that aren't Premo produced too. Guru was a great MC, lyrics, content, delivery, presence, he was extremely dope. Missed.

Who would fit with gurus style if premo wasn't there? What other producer could fill that slot?

Gurus a legend sir. Check the Jazzmattaz series. When did guru get outshined by Lil Dap? Moment of truth is Gurus magnum opus but he got busy on all Gangastarr albums.
