no, the first 2 were dope. I have them all. I regret not taking them to the Gang Starr show and having Guru sign them b ecause I thought it was too much being that I had all of the Gang Starr albums up to that point.
Guru would have been happy….

i bet your booklet doesn’t have bootlegs. Thats a sin imo especially when it desecrates the collection


im glad that he’s at peace.

Fukk Solar and thats obligatory

I still can’t make sense of the guru solar relationship

I don’t want to think the worse


But those jazzamataz albums was pretty good not classics


Lounging is my go to riding song 🎵


But nas is above ⬆️ all that shoot the lost tapes the first one is a damn classic
Down The Backstreets is my song plus No Time To Play sounds like a song that youll hear in an elevator while waiting or the montage music in a movie where the characters are shoppin….




The Lost Tapes was my ish too

This is what I know for a fact in relation to Gully and Nas. Gully has been trying to get a Nas interview for years. It hasn't happened and it'll never happen. Dudes take what they perceive to be slights from Nas very personally for some reason lol because of that he'll take any chance he can to shyt on Nas and has so. These are all facts.

If compared in timeline.

Both ushered in an era.
Both on debut were the best rapper too.

I mean in timeline comparison.
They are very similar.
Guru went mainstream without selling out.
Guru made better girl records without selling out.


Guru has better production

Guru just failed in the sonic landscape change but never bought into that change. To be exposed like his contemporaries.

Both have issues with hiphop culture based mores and norms.

Both would be culturally taboo and reckless.
as performers and jeopardize their legacy. Nas would no show but guru would still come through.
You could look over at any hiphop party. Then also be in a hiphop club like dragon room. Guru would be in the dragon room like a normal patron.

If not for nas selling out.
Guru may have had a place in rhe mainstream an culturally.
a lot longer as a draw.
Yet gangstar has valuable people like my neighbor. The a&r for janet jackson on control and rhythm nation. That eventually would also make the move to use commercial rnb to make gangstar platinum with jodeci.
Yet before that.

Guru got hollywood money.
to make the rap soundtrack a viable payout for all of rap with spike lee. as well as usher in rsp as an actual credible musical artform on the same soundtrack. Plus create the older rnb v103 crowd permeation in the mainstream with jazzmatazz. Then guru was also the first group on the tonite show.
Both solidified a technical renaissance. As guru after rakim.
on debut was the best emcee for that wrinkle in time. Similar to nas....

guru created the debut of a legendary rapper on legendary cultural compilation project like Jeru. Az debuted on nas.
Nas is one of rhe best back and forth duos ever. Yet guru tag partner in scarface. Is similar in skillset. Just like nas and az.
So guru has a collab partner. That is similar in skillset. Like nas has in az.
Sohh you can't really give nas the duke over guru there. As guru and scarface have larger permeatioon mainstream wise and the regular hood. Than the strictly culture darlings of az and nas.
which could match. Or cancel out the culture darling stature of nas and az together. As there are more regular mainstream fans of scarface.
than nas and az Put together.

This does say body of work.

All this is off the top of my head without google.

Body of work in discography.
.guru is superior to nas in a cultural context. As guru never souled't out. Till nas pushed selling out culturally beyond the point of return. Yet if nas never souled't out. Guru would have higher sales receipts. plus would have never had to make a rnb crossover record with jodeci. To conpete in marketplace. Plus would have higher volume of sale in the marketplace. Regardless of bootlegs. Harming nas's debut illmatic sales. As gangstar sold more than nas in the same bootleg heavy era. That damaged sales of record like brand nubian debut. Yet gangstar would post receipts. Without fail in the marketplace.


In discography....guru has a superior discography in timeline comparison. Skillwise nas would be superior.

Both not shyt off rhe top of rhe head tho. Sohh they get no props for being great great in every aspect. Of skill discipline as emcees. Yet nas would not exist. If not for guru being or having an era on debut.
as the best emcee after rakim. On the first single on gangstar's debut single.
As well as going super saiyan on a real flawless perfect classic sophomore album, step in the arena . Whereas stans have to cape for it was written.
Yet guru followed up step in the arena with a classic daily operation. That made the posse cut into commercially viable. Plus added allure to rhe missing b side posse cut with the classic dwyck.
plus gangstar also has rhe bside allure vinyl. That would enable how nas even gets the release of the lost tapes. Nas's lost bsides were shelved. While guru actually has legendary vinyl bsides that are undisputed classic numerous times in his career during every era of his discography in timeline.

As well as followed up and revolutionized the posse cut. Into actual great content songs. From in the clouds. Plus guru gave us the going shopping and cop'n gear anthem.
Guru has a superior culturally relevent discography. Over nas's sellout jiggy direction based discog in timeline. Plus guru has more projects that hit above nas. As well as ground breaking moments. That if said project never happened. There is never a nas.

As nas is not viable as a commodity.
in culture or marketplace without guru.

Only people trying to dispute the original verbiage of body of work. To deflect onto nas skillset.
Which is not melded in actual cultural relevent timeline facts or skill discussuon.
If we deal with facts and context of verbiage of the comments.

Guru does have a higher quality body of work that is superior to nas.

No guru hate but no MC with gay accusations is better than Nas


They both, nas and guru have issues.
enabling and bein complicit with gay outsiders and culture thieves tho.

Where nas ruined all of hiphop culture with puff.
Sohh both have issues with putting the battery in androgynous pagans back. To ruin their legacies in hiphop culture tho.

As nas stans like to be selective. To only remember that which helps their argument. Not the facts in full.

Plus nas stans generally are not hiphop. As their gateway for nas directly comes from an androgynous pagan duet.
As no real og nas fan champions nas selling our culturally. To ruin all of hiphop. Nor are the real og nas fans complicit in honoring nas. Plus hold nas feet to the fire. Without favortism. When guru souled't out. It was at the end of his run. Nas souled't out every leg of his run in his career.

I can trace back in timeline.
To the og one love twelve inch on illmatic for starters.

Plus enabled an androgynous pagan that ruined all of hiphop. Plus rap as a profitable credible culturally viable business moving forward. To why we are where we are now.

So stop the selective stan flaug'n cap.

He didn’t say Guru is a better emcee than Nas, that would be crazy.

However, when talking Body Of Work, Nas’s discography is a very polarizing topic, Gangstarr has an OutKast, Kendrick quality catalog.
I knew goofy nas Stans was gonna move the goal post🤣

As far as impact in relevent era.
Plus timeline conparison.

Gully tv should be given the same respect as ralph mcdaniels tho.
If nas never sells out.

Nas would have to have made a fully tv interview in marketplace tho.

sohh i can understand gully tv taking offense to being slighted in booking.

this is hiphop culture.
.this is not rnb.

rhe issue wirh nas selling out. Is ruining rhe kindred cultural love action. That made ralph mcdaniel into ralph mcdaniel tho.

sohh i can understand gully tv feeling slighted.

If nas never sells out.
Nas would culturally and desperately need an outlet like gully tv.

Nas stans are just as bad, insufferable and pretentious. As any stan base in any music genre historically. Plus like to ignore culturally relevent fact about hiphop. That nas singlehandidly ruined hiphop. By enabling and being complicit with a number of sellout moves. As well as enablin puff.
To the point of no return. Nas is literally the anakin skywalker of rap.
With darth vader oxy moron style stans. That go past fan-dom. Into urban empire space nazi meets emperor palpatine level of ideals. As that stan base embraces the very taboo culture damning ideals. As to why things are awry now. Plus will never get better moving forward. To the detriment of hiphop culture being extinct.

Always someone saying "_____________ than Nas"

It's the new wave. Say some flagrant shyt to anger online rap fans to force engagement. Just like that 22 year old who said Jim Jones has more hits than Nas.


Again.

Just like in the jim jones thread.

You nas stans ran in.

If nas never sells out. The idea of jim jones never exists. Yet nas is complicit and enabled. The very idea. That creates how this cap ass shyt even came to fruition.
.yet every nas stan runs for the hills. When the facts are conveyed. By those of the pillars and culture of hiphop.

I can up receipts in that thread. Where you nas stans are all mum.

After the facts are disclosed publically. Then nas fans deflect and use the jayz stan idea of being cool with pac array of stan-dom in pr. To act like none of this never occurred.
To wash, rinse and repeat. While never taking accountability.
for being complicit and enabling. Why things are the way they are. If nas never sells out. We would not be where we are now.

So stop the cap.
