    ‘Who's Gonna Take The Weight?’ combines some of Guru’s best lines, and Premo’s most iconic scratching. Perhaps even one of the most iconic scratches in Hip Hop history; a kettle whistle style horn from The JB’s + DJ Premier's skilled manipulation = 🔥🔥🔥

    Absolute f%#ing MASTERPIECE. Only 1 gripe; Another Premier instrumental which omits a ton of his most iconic, dopest scratching. It's not the full track minus Guru's vocals & has been edited back to pretty much just the beats, just like with 'Mass Appeal' https://discogs.programascracks.com/release/250772-Gang-Starr-Mass-Appeal which was also released by Crysalis.

    Were these edited instrumental's Premier's decision, or the record label? I'd love to know. Flaw's what would have been the greatest instrumental bar none.
