dope mix my dude. this made the workday fly by. good looks for this

thanks 2 Hungry Brothers for creating this mix...good way to pay respect to a true artist.

most importantly - don't give into the mainstream attitudes and the typical mainstream lack of integrity. it may reap rewards in the short term, but will not truly impact the people listening in a positive manner, if influencing them at all. but speak your true mind, keep it real, and you will find strong minded people listening to your music and supporting you as an artist for your content.

sorry for the repeat of posts above to whoever checks this - but I learned a lesson from Guru, many actually, through his lyrics and the way he would spit verses about real life, real people, and his struggle in trying to stay true to his values and what he believed in.

Gangstarr, Moment of Truth, was my first "real" hip hop album back in seventh grade. In my suburban neighborhood growing up, everyone was into Puff Daddy, Mase, and B.I.G. I always enjoyed the beats behind these popular mcs, but could never relate to their lyrics. It was fun, but I needed more substance. At an early age, I realized the marketing tactics behind the mainstream hip hop sales - anything flies lyric content wise, as long as it sells. Then one day on a field trip down to D.C. I bought a Source Magazine featuring a bunch of sweet reviews for a whole new realm of hip hop that I had never been introduced to. I saw the album "Moment of Truth" by Gang Starr had the only five star ranking in the Source in that issue, one of the few five star rankings the Source has ever given out I think actually to this day. So, during that field trip in D.C., all I really did was read my new reference for hip hop, the Source, and listened to the new Gang Starr album I had just purchased after seeing it reviewed that day in the Source. I don't think I'd be into hip hop production right now if I hadn't picked up that issue of the Source that day. Good move. I pat myself on the back.
