people need a history lesson
The 2001 release date on here is misleading to the kid who said Gangstarr was trying to hard to resurrect the old school- That's the rerelease date. This was originally dropped in 1989, and if I'm not mistaken it was their debut record (full clip-a decade of Gangstarr was released in 99; ten years back would make this the first album). This album was ahead of it's time for 89, and if you can't see the realness in old school beats, then you shouldn't be listening to hip hop. This album is where it's at for those that don't know- James Brown funk, Premiere breaks, and the same Guru that real heads are down with. Check this release (I'm hearin it right now for the first time, the ish is dope!)

Old School Vs. New School
The problem this album runs into is it's undying need to reflect the old school beats of yesteryear.

Lacking on this release is the innovative beats that are to follow. Guru's rhymes are fine for this album, but lack the importance that fit the future albums.

Premier had yet to find his niche in the rap game, and it could not be more evident if he had tried. At a time that De La was on top, Gang Starr was lacking in it's primitive grooves.

There are a few exceptions (most notabely "Words I Manifest"), but overall, this is an album for die-hards only.
