Gang Starr dropped their fourth studio LP, 'Hard to Earn,' in 1994. The album included the song 'The Planet,' an ode to Brooklyn from two hip-hoppers that actually hailed from somewhere else.

DJ Premier, one of rap music's most talented producers, is actually from Houston. Guru, the emcee of the duo, is from Boston, but on 'The Planet,' the rapper speaks on why he felt the need to leave home and make BK his new city, while shouting out the various neighborhoods he frequents. "See I'ma make it got dammit / Out in B-R-Double O- K-Lyn / The Planet," Guru rhymes.
