DJ Premier Breaks Down Gang Starr’s “Above The Clouds” (Video)

“Above the crowds above the clouds where the sounds are original infinite skills create miracles” Above the Clouds was released in 1998 on Gang Starr’s Moment of Truth album, featuring Guru and DJ Premier.

In an interview last year, DJ Premier talks about the magic that happened when Guru and Inspectah Deck sat in the lab at the board and worked out the lyrics to accompany the perfect beat that DJ Premier had laid down.

DJ Premier considers ‘Above the Clouds’ one of the best records he has ever created. He gives some insight about creating great music together and even mentions RZA hanging out with them and talking about making plans to create Wu-Tang.
