There's nothing "alternative" about Gang Starr. They are rap in hits purest form. Obviously written by a backpacker.
OK, i'll take that out, i was just adding to someone else's writing, and didn't really notice it.
Huh? Excuse me, gangsta, but its exactly these "backpackers" that keep hiphop alive nowadays.

How did 50 Cent found Gang Starr in 1987, he would have been 12 years old.80.41.40.221 21:37, 26 December 2006 (UTC) - Don't worry about it the article got changed seconds after i wrote my comment
The context of this quote is unclear: "If I confirm it, then it’s official. If I don’t confirm it, then we still together." Full quote including question:
"A while ago, you had said Gang Starr was on hiatus because of a situation with Virgin. But in an allhiphop.com interview, Guru said you guys weren’t working together at all anymore. Have you spoken to him about that?"
"Nah, but this is what I always say: Gang Starr is forever, number one. Neither of us can ever leave Gang Starr. He can’t leave and I can’t leave. And when the time is definitely right, no matter what he’s saying, there will be another album in effect. We don’t know when that time will be, but I will never confirm that we are broken up. And if I confirm it, then it’s official. If I don’t confirm it, then we still together. Believe that. That’s on the really real. Gang Starr is still together. Don’t let AllHipHop.com get you all messed up. It’s good."
The quote in the wikipedia article doesn't make clear what "it" is; whether this is the breaking up of the group, or the opposite.

[edit] I don't get it
Can somebody please explain why I get warnings? First of all I deleted a links that doesn't exsists anymore, and I get a warning for that by some morron who put the links back in the info page...How stupid is that? Warning for help :s
Second, I made a whole new trackology page with every production of DJ Premier. I put it on the page with the other links and I get another warning that I can't put links for promotial use and so on. Wtf is this retarded person thinking? I put a lot of effort for the people who want to see wich tracks are produced by DJ Premier and he's thinking about addvertisments. Check this site, you won't find any commercial stuff, second, if you look at the info sheet you see that you can't make any money out of my site.
If I saw 'Kariteh' in front of me I would slap him in the face like he slap his girlfriend, that's for sure...I mean, how stupid is it...If you help wiki you get a warning, pure bullshit
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:GangStarrDailyOperation.jpg
Image:GangStarrDailyOperation.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 10:40, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism? Envy? Stupidity?
It seems the whole Gang Starr page contents have been replaced by 'Slum Brothers' information? There probably is a reason for this, but I am tempted to use the 'undo' option.

- Introducing untrue information to an article, or removing an article's entire contents and replacing it with something else, are pretty clear vandalism. I already reverted. Don't be afraid to be bold and revert -- we all have the button. :) spazure (contribs) (review) 09:50, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
- Also, I don't find it coincidence that User:Reginald_dempsey is the name of the producer for some of the Slum Brothers' work. spazure (contribs) (review) 09:53, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

- Right now I am using internet through a company proxy. I don't want to get my company involved in any problems. Would have 'undone' when I got home.
