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.
