Gang Starr - As I Read My S-A Lyrics
[DJ Premier scratches] "at this time I have the honor to present to you"
[Guru]
Parahraphs, portraying my viewpoint
So stay attentive, cause this is a new joint
Lyrical elements emerge from the intro
Forming a poetic mass over pathetic trash
Other writers are outclassed
Surpassed by the words and the wit
Rhymes fit and hit cause that's how we designed it
Page for page, we are the new age
Dope in the videos and dope when we're on stage
Commanding respect with my ink pen while suckers are sinking
as I'm keeping them thinking
Narrating phrases of value, and I can see now you
From back in the days of my youth, I've looked for the truth
And yo my rhymes are the real proof
New heights and new realms have been reached
by use of my speech along with one of Premier's beats
So listen and we'll show you the best way
and then sway, as I read my S-A
[DJ Premier cuts and scratches again]
[Guru]
Worshipful words giving insight, so just be observant
so you can get this right
My oratory gift is abundant, so dazzling to minds
that you should come get
a glimpse of the one who puts wimps out of work
The script is a mess and they dress like they're jerks
Beyond them, is where I'll be dwellin
The Guru will tell em, why their records ain't sellin
Placin my fingers on the tool, I runaway all fools
when I'm dispersin a verse
Think of an enjoyable moment, then boogie your body
Cause this party I own it
The origin of this is on paper
Vibes will ascend from my mind to each line
I go with the flow as I show expertise
The powers increase as my voice hits the streets
Then gripping your soul with authority
I pour these rhymes in a cup so drink up
And then I might bring another round
Watch the sound pound from the floor to the ground
And keep aware, cause we'll show you the best way
And then sway, as I read my S-A

what a loss!
Rip guru
Guru a lyrical poetic god, we miss u,,
From 1:04-1:21 Primo gives a scratching clinic. Unbelievable. Friction must have melted the wax on the records. "I pour these rhymes in a cup so drink up. And then I may bring another round..." Guru is outstanding in this track (no surprise). He's describing his writing process in such a clever way. He is missed but we're blessed to have so many gems that he wrote that we can listen to over and over again.
teachferrer AMEN!!!

Couldn't have said it better myself. I just finished One of the Best Yet and thought of this song randomly

This is Boston hip hop RIP Guru classic album
amazing
he was from Boston but thats BK ALL DAY brother thats no Boston flow NOR accent
Guru was reading an Essay - As I read my S A
What's S-A?
epic:)
This is the album wher Primo developed his trademark sound. Their best album too. For 1991 it was just groundbreaking.
Actually this song is from their 2nd album (1st album 'No More Mr. Nice Guy), nonetheless a great song from my favorite album by Gang Starr
Truly one of the greatest groups of all time! I listen to all kinds of shit and Gangstarr was one of the best! Their body of work is virtually unsurpassed by any other hip-hop group fo' sho!
Peach.
@grandmasterb067 csb
@grandmasterb067 hahaha love it....nobody who knows gang starr at ALL would even say this was their first album. preach it sun!
@judgeshrimp new album every 2 years for a decade, and each as great or better than the last, who else can claim that? Wu tang Clan? mm nah not really, Jay Z? ha yea right, far from it, he went the other way with each new album, Nas? not even, Boot Camp Click? not even close, JMT? Nope, MOP, nope, Beasty Boys, nooope. Well that's it then, nobody else from any era can touch Gangstarr. Sorry everyone else who ever got on a record, all you can hope for is 2nd best.
RIP GURU GANGSTARR FOR LIFE
@dpat2004
greatest!
2 me the one of the greatest duo ever.
Gang Starr is what got me into hip hop. So fresh, intellectual and beautiful.
He was not only real but deep.
R.I.P Guru.
Yea this is from the album Step in the Arena, which is their 2nd.. This came out in 1991 and No More Mr.Nice Guy came out in 1989, which is their first. Anyway great track, like always when it comes to tha GANG STARR !!
Premo Underated? I dissagree. I know he's not as well known as Timberland or Dr Dre ETC. But with propper HipHop fans, i believe he's well known. And rated as one of the best.
bobdigi88 Agree & I much prefer Premo’s sound to the crossover sound of Timbaland or Dre 👊
this is new york hip hop!
Narrating phrases of value---and I can see now you--- relate to what I create!!
Golden Era Forever!!!
Not the first album. Just the best one imo. Refreshingly fresh. "Manifest" is on the first album if i'm not mistaken.
the best hip-hop tune ever made ....in my humble opinion,no fuck humble,believe me or suffer in darkness
This came out around 89-90. This is THE best album by them. Listen to his cuts at 1:05. Prem is underreated as a dj.
ONE OF THE GREATEST ALBUMS EVER! I knew it word for word. very underrated. just hearing this song is bringing back mad memories.
Paragraphs portraying my viewpoint!!
Whoo!!
Golden Era Forever!!
haha this shit makes me boogy
damn i cant find this cd online this is deep hip hop
I love gang starr never heard this song before its dope and primo on the beat is tight word up im diggin this shit
Where can i find the song No more Mr. Nice guy
At this time I have the honor to present to you........
