[Guru]

If I was a ballplayer, then I would dunk on ya faster

But since I'm a trackslayer, I fuck with Funkmaster

Premier lace the beat, so it can bump faster

Gurizzi, on Volume Thrizi, I gets busy

Since the days of the Quarters, Union Square, and the Castle

Been known to hold my own, if you give me a hassle

Rassle with this MC here, on the mic

Niggaz know they ain't prepared for the fight

Talk about your skills all day, I'm still bored

You disobeyed the laws, got no cause to kill for

You build your rep, off the next man's style

Played the role, and stole the page out the next man's file

You can't test, one of the best, in this art form

Ain't toleratin blatant disrespect for this art form

Whether or not I make a track to keep the charts warm

I come to do a show, pros and hoes, know it's on

From BK to Uptown, and all around

See how easy, they all fall down

While suckers go off, and show off, I throw your whole bluff off

That semi old school rapper that you grown up off

Come off the top rope, just like the Junkyard Dog

to the mat, with my ill kid form of rap

Take that, what I just spat, and then store that

Just like on a Pentium with CD-rom and all that

Fly shit, that we create, just like that

We great like that, straight like that



GangStarr, y'knowhatI'msayin?

Funkmaster Flex

Now till forever baby

Freestyle - GangStarr

Funkmaster Flex's 'Freestyle - GangStarr' stands as a quintessential example of the late 1990s East Coast hip-hop boom, specifically the collaborative spirit that defined the era's golden age. Released during a period where artists frequently exchanged verses to showcase lyrical prowess, this track exemplifies the genre's emphasis on flow, rhyme schemes, and rhythmic precision. The recording captures the raw energy and competitive atmosphere characteristic of the time, featuring Flex's distinct vocal delivery and ad-libs that became a signature element of his work. As part of a broader movement that included collaborations with legends like Nas, Jay-Z, and Wu-Tang Clan, the song reflects the interconnected nature of the hip-hop community. It remains a defining piece of the genre's catalog, illustrating the technical skill and creative collaboration that made the late 90s a pivotal moment in music history.
