No: 485 GANG STARR - STEP IN THE ARENA (1991)For me, those first few years of the 90's were the most breathtakingly experimental years for Hip/Hop.

Gang Starr boiled up the Jazz influence until there was just a raw essence, just enough not to detract from Guru who delive...

Not an intentional trend after my recent break-up rap post by Aceyalone, I was just feeling like posting some Gangstarr and this track popped in my head. I always loved Guru's delivery, understandable and straight forward, he was never too flashy but always gave a solid verse that was clever and deliberate. And of course what can be said about DJ Premier. This track was produced in the beginnin...
