Yeah girls just a dope MCI don't think people really underappreciate it that style and just his format until you go back and listen to it but so subtle and simple but yet so unique
@@reannar678 except those dudes used only samples. Guru uses actual instruments in his Jazzmatazz albums, along wit The Roots, Deltron 3030, A Tribe called Quest and De La Soul. Multiple Hip-Hop artists do this btw instead of using samples to be more authentic. This style of Hip-Hop is a sub-genre called "Jazz Rap" eastcoast boombap wit actual instruments
@@elyknived3840 Me too bruh! I've been going back listening to the old skool classics like this here. Boy this brings back some really good memories. The parties, the honey dips and kicking it with the fellas.
Not to me. I never bought any Gang Starr albums, because back then I was an unemployed child. But I remember this track and "Trust Me" with N'dea Davenport. Trust, I will be digging deeper. Greetings from Trinidad and Tobago.
I'm glad GURU made this track featuring a jazz artist. So often rappers just sample great artists and they don't really get the recognition they deserve.
"Peace to the Blackbirds, 125th street and check the flow that's unique" my geography of Manhatten is second to none thanks to hiphop tunes like this and I've never even been there!
Back in these days where rap had more substance,A genius like guru blended rap and jazz perfectly, embrace this my friends... Guru was a true talent....R.I.P Donald Byrd,and Guru
I remember buying this album on cassette tape summer of 93 and it sounded different than any previous guru album or any other rap album on the market...guru wasn't afraid to try something new and I believe this is the best of the three jazzmataz albums
in high school in the 90's I ordered something called Rock Video Monthly and they sent a VHS every month. this video was on there. otherwise I never would've heard of it. bought the cassette tape and wore it out. great album
A classic East Coast masterpiece! To take that Donald Byrd sound with Guru wow, I loved this in the 90's and it still is cool, so smooth rip Donald and Guru 👑💕
Man, Guru's sited on a brillant Le Corbusier forniture, accompained by the legend, Donald Byrd. Rapping about the most notable and respectful action of life, lounge. This clip is a piece an art! King are all within on it. Peace to the pioneers.
Donald Byrd word on the track, quite exact Giving you the format, Jack See we gotta pave the way and display.... how to loungin'. Mellow out n just loungin' RIP both.
Yea, I'm loungin', I got my man Donald Byrd on the horns I wanna give a big shout out to my little man, Miko, he's 2 years old He's away visiting his grandmoms but I miss him dearly [Verse 1] Check it out If I rhyme this, you will find this situation shall advance You could take a glance or dance Elevator lyrics to arouse the crowd Now tell me who's the man to show you how Many legacies of brothers who get buzy And I do it fluid til the suckers get dizzy Saying peace to the blackbirds 125th street And check the flow that's unique For...

Yeah girls just a dope MCI don't think people really underappreciate it that style and just his format until you go back and listen to it but so subtle and simple but yet so unique
Excuse the typo I was talking thru the Mike. I said Guru was poetically unique and simple style
When you blend jazz and hip hop like this, I'm all over it. I'm such a fan. I wore the hell outta his first two albums. He was so unique to me. R.I.P.
I am jelous ma'am.
So true....loved these albums!!!
Miss if you don’t already, listen to Digable Planets. They got some fire jazz samples, extremely jazzy
The elements of hip hop in its true form..simply beautiful 😍

My dad introduced me to Guru when I was like 5 and I still listen to it daily.
Guru is definitely unappreciated RIP to both this talented Brothers 🙏🏿🙏🏿
razzamatazz mang
He invented flows that people built careers on before those people were out of diapers.
Man this never gets old
Byrd 🎺 + Gang Starr (Guru) 🎙 = 🖤 Rest In Soul Power 💯

words cant describe how much I miss the 90's
Yes good ol days ❤
R.I.P Donald Byrd and Guru.. they loungin' in heaven

I love Hip Hop, I love Jazz, so it's natural i love this piece of vinyl. R.I.P. to both G.U.R.U & Mr Byrd.

"Peace to the Blackbirds, 125th street and check the flow that's unique" my geography of Manhatten is second to none thanks to hiphop tunes like this and I've never even been there!
I feel the same. Lol
I think everyone who grew up on 90’s hip hop has walked many a block in a variety of burrows without ever touching the streets!
Timeless.... Donald Byrd word!!
Rest in Peace to BOTH of these legends....
amen !!,,,
I should shed a tear, buy I won't. I have been enjoying this for 30 yrs and it's just as refreshing.
Everyone who hasn’t heard it should shed a tear, for their loss.
Back in these days where rap had more substance,A genius like guru blended rap and jazz perfectly, embrace this my friends... Guru was a true talent....R.I.P Donald Byrd,and Guru
RIP to two legends

I remember buying this album on cassette tape summer of 93 and it sounded different than any previous guru album or any other rap album on the market...guru wasn't afraid to try something new and I believe this is the best of the three jazzmataz albums
The Revolution starts at home.
One of the best album in the world...no doubt!!!..R.I.P Master Guru and Mr. Byrd
RIP Guru, real legends never die
This track makes me smile every time when I hear. So smoth and good vibes.
Such an intelligent, self aware black brother.
RIP to both the late great Donald Byrd and Guru!
in high school in the 90's I ordered something called Rock Video Monthly and they sent a VHS every month. this video was on there. otherwise I never would've heard of it. bought the cassette tape and wore it out. great album
R.I.P. Guru.
The flyest jazz rap musician ever.
This should be played loud everywhere once a day - just to keep people from forgetting what real RAP is.
It doesn't get any better than this.
RIP Guru....these tracks got me through so many crap times and good ones.....still do.
Almost 30 years old 🔥🔥 still banging like fresh out the box
A classic East Coast masterpiece! To take that Donald Byrd sound with Guru wow, I loved this in the 90's and it still is cool, so smooth rip Donald and Guru 👑💕

All for the jazzy touch and clean lyrics! Wish people did this nowadays.
R.I.P. Guru 1 of the best yet

Donald Byrd word on the track, quite exact
Giving you the format, Jack

Mellow out n just loungin'
RIP both.
Both of them are gone now, nice to see Byrd and Guru walk away together at the end.
Yeah :(
That's so nice!!!!
This song literally was my mantra back in the days
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE LEGENDARY GURU!!!
I got this CD when it first came out. The whole thing is fire. R.I.P to a Hip Hop Legend!!!!!!!!!!!
Yea, I'm loungin', I got my man Donald Byrd on the horns
I wanna give a big shout out to my little man, Miko, he's 2 years old
He's away visiting his grandmoms but I miss him dearly
[Verse 1]
Check it out
If I rhyme this, you will find this situation shall advance
You could take a glance or dance
Elevator lyrics to arouse the crowd
Now tell me who's the man to show you how
Many legacies of brothers who get buzy
And I do it fluid til the suckers get dizzy
Saying peace to the blackbirds 125th street
And check the flow that's unique
For...
[Chorus]
Loungin', loungin', mellow out and just loungin'
Loungin', loungin', mellow out and just loungin'
[Verse 2]
Can't refuse this, never lose this, it's the choice this
Cause my voice is the smoothest
Dominating to your boys cause I've been around doing work
And sold tons of others jerk
Donald Byrd word on the track, quite exact
Giving you the format, Jack
See we gotta pave the way and display
How to...
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Peace to the pioneers but I gotta try and clear
My throat, check out what I wrote
You can't tap into this unless you know the roots
Word shoe like life absolute
For real so now you gotta know the deal
For...
[Chorus] x3
Loungin', loungin', peace to Brooklyn where I live
[Verse 4]
Realistic, kind of mystic when I kick this
You should witness the slickness
Of the hornplayer and the dope rhymesayer
Quite emotional and inspirational
Philisophical and yes very logical
Teaching you the method for loungin'
Everybody knows they have times when they wanna just lay back
Kick their feet up, y'know
Listen to some good music and just lounge
That's right, I said lounge
Thank you. Blasting. )
Gracias bro
