Shiznit We Slept On Vol. 14: Gang Starr On the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, 1992

Around here we consider ourselves pretty familiar with all things Gang Starr-related. Yet even we totally snoozed on this amazing TV appearance from ’92: Guru and Premier on the Tonight Show performing “Take It Personal” – prefaced by Preem giving Jay Leno a nifty little demonstration of his turntable wizardry. Something to get you started on this unofficial Guru appreciation day. RIP.

    One of my top 3 Gang Starr songs of all-time. I love Jay Leno’s very Caucasian “waiting on the bus heel rock” while Premo scratches. And I wanted that tee SO BAD back in the day.

    This is great to see. I think I remember Ronin Ro writing about this in The Source’s 1992 Year In Review Issue.
