The Meaning Of The Name - Gang Starr

The meaning of the name Gang Starr?

Well, I’ll tell you

It means how far my mind can excel to a greater type of thought

Brought by the things that I’ve been taught

In relation to things that I rebel to

Divine and combine with a sense of confidence

Accomplishments are achieved on floppy disc

But slopiness, I could never tolerate it

Not the Guru nor Premier, you don’t know how long we’ve waited

While other groups have faded just like haircuts

We use sheer guts to open the ear ducts

Of your brain to expose every vain

'Cause you sound plain, insane, and mundane, it’s a shame

You’ve got no beats, so you get no seats

At this table, you ain’t stable with the mic cable

Cain and Abel, jealous brothers

And I knew some girls who were overzealous lovers

But back to the act of developing the Gang Starr track

It means that nothing can be wack

The music is picked right, the mic is gripped tight

The lyrics I kick right to a beat like Kryptonite

Power, not withstood by any mortal or immortal

To make you get on the floor 'til

Another dope jam we slam with precision

Bringing beams of light like the colors in a prism

Or reflections, through a spectrum

And all the soft silly suckers I’mma wet them

In other words destroy, boy, and then claim my fame…

This is the meaning of the name

(DJ Premier cuts «what does it all mean?»)

Gang Starr, it means a lot to me

It means I’m free to bust rhymes sporadically

Gang represents my boys or a posse

So just back up off me

And the Starr symbolizes the power

Making the suckers and weak brothers cower

We got strong, intelligent minds with a street sense

Crazy offense, and stupid defense

Now, have I made myself clear?

Or do I have to call on DJ Premier?

For he and I make up the songs that you long for

Meanwhile ducks just knock on the wrong door

Waiting for a call or for the doors to open

'Cause they’re hoping that they’ll get chosen

But to be chosen is a divine gift

You better get a job quick

See, you can’t rhyme and all your beats are weak

You oughta take a peak and check out the technique

Seek, and you shall find

Gang Starr stands for mastermind

Simple and plain and yo this ain’t no game lame…

This is the meaning of the name
