The Wake Up Show w/ Gangstarr

gangstarrlegos

I was able to track down an April 2003 Wake Up show w/ Guru and Premier on it. I didn’t hear this live but remember a few friends years ago discussing it on the internets.  This is right before The Ownerz album dropped, if I am not mistaken. They go over many a moments such as the demos and first starting to how Primo got his name.  OF course, they also cut up and mix all of the Gangstarr Classics.  Enjoy!

Gangstarr – Non-Album cuts (Pt. 1 of 2)

After doing some e-digging last week for some Primo beats, I found some great catalogs of Primo beats online that were non-album cuts from Gangstarr.  I have most of these but wanted to share them with you!  I’ll post another 2 volumes tomorrow. Pass it along.

Primo’s Bakery – Mix

primo

Found this while searching on the webs.  I heard this awhile back (2002, I think) but never got the chance to download it.  Basically, a random DJ (show yourself, great mixer!) put together a blend of samples that Premier used for many of Gangstarr and other collabo’s great records.  So imagine what ?uestlove does in his DJ sets but focused on Primo.  That’s what you can expect. Friendly find.

5 Days of Gangstarr… Day 3

Based on my discussion with some readers, it looks like the Gangstarr fans are divided into two factions – the Primo-beat lovers and the Guru Stans. Gotta admit the Primo Posse is winning. Volumes 11-15 are next…

First, props go to KillahBeast for putting in the work. Both respect and admiration goes out for the amount of time it would’ve taken to get this together!

Each Day I will post 75 or more songs that either was a non-album GangStarr joint, remix by premier/guru, or an appearance by either of them. This is going to be crazy!
