I'm not sure if we already did this. I'm gonna ride for Hard To Earn. I'm expecting a lotta Daily Operations and Moment of Truths.

although malachi the nutcracker is one of the worst rappers ever. his rhymes were on some piss poor freestyle shit.
Yeah, I was just monkey wrenchin'.
This is really a hard one. Ill go w/....
B.Y.S. is my shit.
No question!
yes. best primo beats (even moreso than moment of truth) and, not that it's saying much, but the best guru rhymes...
I think Guru needs more repect. His his super plain delivery was perfect for the Primo beats. He's like Lou Reed. That's right - Guru is Lou Reed to Premiers John Cale. Yeah- i said it.
True, but when u hear another mc(Finesse/B.I.G./Big L) over Primo's beats your realize the chasm of ability.
easily.
daily operation hasnt aged well for me.that used to be my shit.wouldve been better overall with dwyck on it (needed something lighter and upbeat)
Hahaha Guru does go well over Premo beats but if you actually listen to him he is a wack MC. Also Group Home were real wack as well but that album is still dope.
Personal Classic...Listend to this over and over and over...Work is such a banger....The only weak song on there is the Mall.
Daily Operation's still one of my favourite rap albums ever.
No question for me the above. A lot of the others to my ears now sound very pedestrian.
i'll give daily operation the best cover. like someone said...doesnt shine on relistening and is it time pedestrian
I have pulled out Step... thru Hard... and will report back.
1. Name Tag - Premier & The Guru Listen - nice inrto
2. Step In The Arena - i forget
3. Form Of Intellect - nice
4. Execution Of A Chump (No More Mr. Nice Guy Pt.2) - huh?
5. Who's Gonna Take The Weight? -That shrill shit!!!!
6. Beyond Comprehension - I like Guru's flow on this.
7. Check The Technique - i forgot
8. Love Sick - Should be in the Great American Hip Hop Love songbook
9. Here Today, Gone Tomorrow - heat
10. Game Plan - I forget
11. Take A Rest - Heat
12. What You Want This Time? - One of my fav uses of the 20th century telephone in a song
13. Street Ministry - i like Guru on this
14. Just To Get A Rep - no words
15. Say Your Prayers - heat
16. As I Read My S-A - uh oh, Guru gettin kinda quick up on this
17. Precisely the Right Rhymes - one of my fav laidback tracks
18. The Meaning Of A Name - cool
one of the best things on there is lildap and jeru's i'll tap your jaw shit. guru just gets kinda boring. the beats are always nice tho,but most of it is real sedate. "check the technique" was hyped the fuck up
youre going to shoot yourself in the head after listening to all those records.
you know what i like on "Ownerz"?
the interlude with the youngbol who goes bananas talking about drinking water from the stream with a gangster lean.
That's my jam right there.
I have a grip of classic rapps to listen to this day, so I am in the mode to get it in. I also have Philadelphia Freeway, which I deem to be classic
I will report back at 1500 hours.
I like Ownerz. Its too long though.
love the two, but i am leaning to MOT a little: Above the Clouds, Militia, Work, Steez, Rep Grows Bigger are such satisfying songs
(edit: that little red x is the Moment of Truth cover)
Moment of Truth
I like this album far more than the others.
I remember when DO dropped I was a little disappointed with Guru's rhymes and a few weeks latter read in an interview that he had purposely dumbed down. Not that he was ever a sylable cramming super scientifical dude (I don???t really dig that shit) but he certainly came a little different on DO.
2. ALONGWAYTOGO alright
3. Code Of The Streets - argueably the "best" Gangstarr song evar
4. Brainstorm - I forget
5. Tonz 'O' Gunz - above average
6. The Planet - I forget
7. Aiiight Chill... I forget
8. Speak Ya Clout - is this the posse cut? I think Jeru kills it & somebody kills PSK beat?
9. DWYCK - no words
10. Words From The Nutcracker - pre-cursor to genius
11. Mass Appeal - No words
12. Blowin' Up The Spot - huh
13. Suckas Need Bodyguards - huh
14. Now You're Mine - i likey
15. Mostly Tha Voice - you right about that shit, cause it aint the cadence
16. F.A.L.A. - average
17. Comin' For Datazz - huh [/b]
