Customer Reviews of Step in the Arena
Sure Shot Step In The Arena has to be one of Gang Starr's best albums. From the funky "Who's Gonna Take The Weight?" to the laid-back "Love Sick" to the amazing title cut, Step In The Arena is flawless. Guru and Primo to me are probably the greatest duo in hip-hop. If you don't have any Gang Starr material, be sure to pick this one up. DJ Premier's jazzy, thumping beats and Guru's distinctive monotone are one-of-a-kind. The production, lyrics, and delivery are always on point. This album embodies everything a hip-hop group should be. This is a must-have for any Gang Starr/hip-hop fan.
Gang Starr: Definition of Rap
Although so old it is a genius album and undoubtedly better than any present artists around (apart from the underground and the minor few). Dj Premier one of the greatest producers ever to come onto the scene reknowned for his laid back jazzy themes, body banging basslines and original and beautiful cuts and samples ( take a listen to Check The Technique and take a rest) and Guru, gifted unlimtited rhymes universal, an artist who knows no limit in vocabulary, subject matter and pure headknodding funk. His monotone "just smoked one" voice goes wonderfully with his straight off the tongue steady and flowing lyrics.
Gang Starr will always be known in the rap game and this is the reason. If you want to start your ill rap cd collection start with this. This is the foundations of rap, and dont misunderstand me this isnt the nursery rhyme slow and retarded flows of the 80's, the lyrics are untimely and will always seem like they just came out now. Pure intelligence was poured into this cd and it shows.
DJ premier and GURU: winning combination, Step in the arena: Grimey, intelligent and funky album, Gang Starr: Knockout kingz of Hip Hop and the epitomy of ill rap.
Gang Starrs Most Consistent/Best
This was the last Gang Starr cd I picked up. I started with the Ownerz and worked my way backwards. All Gang Starr is essential, but this one just takes the weight for me. The beats are all so fresh, so laid back they don't sound old-fashioned at all. Perhaps the only thing making them sound dated (if at all) is the lack of a very sharp percussion which you can hear more of on The Ownerz or Moment of Truth. Premier was really on fire with some laid back jazzy cuts, you can just hear the soul. Also, this cd is non parental advisory which is a testament to the skills GURU flashes on this cd. This cd essentially laid down all the fundamentals for the Gang Starr sound, that delicate balance between street wise poetry from a masters perspective and that sharp intellect from the GURU. All of the cuts on here are great and that is why i think this is their best work. Other cd's had larger standouts with a couple weak tracks (like the Mall on MOT). This cd comes out as fresh even today because it is against violence, against hoes etc. but remains more real/hardcore than any of those albums and stays clean. This cd is just beyond comprehension.
I think GURU stepped it up even further on Daily Operation and went next level on a couple songs of MOT and took the braggodiere to a new level on Hard to Earn but the laid back jazzy/soulful style of Premier is most evident on Step in the Arena and GURU comes very well balanced and to the point throughout. And guess what, no guests! I hate guests especially when they are taking the place of the GURU. Long live Gang Starr.
