Was Guru ever in a group or release a single before Gangstarr?I was listening to one my old radio tapes and came across a song w/ 2 mcs rhymin' over the Cymande break"BRA". One of the mcs sounded just like GURU. Its on tape so i cant post the song. I think the tape is like 86/87? Just wondering?

No doubt. This song has to be pre-Gangstarr. He probably spit on somethin' before he and Primo hooked up?
Yeah and he came to NYC. I think he might have a "Random Rap" single that cats might know about.
There are three Gang Starr singles w/ Guru & another member(s?) (DJ 1-2-B Down) before Premier joined the group:
"The Lesson" (Wild Pitch, 1987) prod. by Donald Dee
"Bust a Move Boy" b/w "To Be a Champion" (Wild Pitch, 1987) prod. by 45 King
"Movin On" b/w "Gusto" & "Knowledge" (Wild Pitch, 1988) prod. by 45 King
The song you heard was probably "Movin On."
There are also two Gang Starr Posse 12s, when the original Boston-based group split & Guru went to NYC (as documented on "Da Planet"), but I don't think Guru is on either of those.
BANG,Thanx.
wow. mao knows everything rap related. I bow to your knowledge.
