Gang Starr Album: “Mass Appeal: Best Of [PA]”

Description :

Undoubtedly one of the most respected, influential, and consistently tight DJ/MC combos in the history of hip-hop, Guru and Premier have evolved from an afro-centric, break-heavy duo in the vein of Eric B & Rakim to legendarily versatile veterans with almost 20 years in the game. The untouchable one-two punch of DJ Premier's street-level beats and Guru's signature smoothed-out voice leaves an army of producers and lyricists in their shadows. Though just a small sampling of the group's output, the 16 classics that make up the greatest-hits compilation, MASS APPEAL, prove that Gang Starr's body of work--which never once pandered to commercialism at the expense of artistic vision--has irrevocably raised the bar of East Coast hip-hop to a level that most newer acts can only dream of reaching.

- ? no reviews

How has no one reviewed this if you don't have this in your collection it makes no sense if you listen to hip hop or music at all. Premier and Guru a greatest hits collection? There is no beginning or end much like Illmatic it's like u just opened an old box in an attic. The best thing about Guru is he rhymes about rhyming much like a hip hop Nirvana. In this case smells like teen spirit equates to Step in the Arena. It's just I'm better than you point blank and there is virtual to no gun talk are you listening white america.
