Method Man & Redman Join Gang Starr For A Remix That Stands Up For Real Hip-Hop

#Music On November 1, Gang Starr released its first album in more than 16 years. DJ Premier carefully crafted sounds around some previously unreleased vocals from Guru. In the autumn, Heads got two singles before <em>One Of The Best</em> Yet, the album which was later named to <a href="https://ift.tt/35A52Jh" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Ambrosia For Heads</em>' Best Of '19 list</a>. The first single, <a href="https://ift.tt/2TdhgoM" target="_blank" rel="noopener">"Family And Loyalty,"</a> featured J. Cole in a way that bridged generations and showcased Gang Starr's impact. The second preview, <a href="https://ift.tt/2nWaB53" target="_blank" rel="noopener">"Bad Name,"</a> was the tried-and-true Guru and Premier formula, updated for 2020. The <a href="https://ift.tt/2p2rL1B" target="_blank" rel="noopener">song later became a video starring Guru's son</a>, Keith Casim, paying tribute to his late father. Heads are now getting the official remix, which features Redman and Method Man. As always, Red' n' Meth' bring energy to the track right from the top. Then, they drop respective verses after Gifted Unlimited Rhymes Universal. DJ Premier adds new scratches to his fiery beat as well as his juggle of  Edo G.'s mahogany vocal. Preemo laced <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hg8fq7WuudI" target="_blank" rel="noopener">"Sayin' Something"</a> nearly 20 years ago, the song that gave the Gang Starr song its title. <iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/0mlO_wYcrJQ" width="730" height="411" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe> <a title="Permanent Link to DJ Premier Reveals All The MCs He Asked To Be On The Gang Starr Album &amp; What Happened" href="https://ift.tt/2pO21pY" target="_blank" rel="bookmark noopener">DJ Premier Reveals All The MCs He Asked To Be On The Gang Starr Album &amp; What Happened</a> Notably, while Guru shouts out slain rappers Biggie and Tupac in the original, Redman big-ups Gang Starr affiliate (and D.I.T.C. member) Big L.
