[Uncle Steezo]

Daily Operation is the best Gangstarr record.

[RAW-TASTE]

that album is wayyyyy overrated,and primo deserves those props,not guru



nope,not that into that album



nope,not the reason,he just sounds real amateuristic,and theres no excuse for that when you're in a group with the greatest hip hop producer of all time.

i don't get the hate on guru, he's fucking dope and hes half of what made gangstarr a legendary duo. you call him amateuristic but he sounds great on the mic, great enough to make 'moment of truth' a classic. you may not like it, but i bump it regularly and it stills sounds amazing. if you ask me, all of gangstarr's album except 'no more mr nice guy' are all solid.
