Who’s Gonna Take The Weight? is a powerful track from Gang Starr’s 1991 album *Step in the Arena*. With production by DJ Premier and hard-hitting lyrics by Guru, the song addresses social and political issues, urging individuals to take responsibility for the struggles in the community. Featuring Guru’s reflective, thought-provoking verses over Premier’s signature boom-bap production, the song stands out as one of Gang Starr’s most impactful tracks. The music video, directed by Kevin Bray, adds a gritty visual representation of the song’s themes.
