"Post your favorite track from: Gang Starr" Mon Feb-08-16 11:28 AM by maro
Let's keep in mind, this is your personal favorite song (you're stranded on an island with one song type thing), not the most noted, influential, or with the most Mass Appeal (eh hem).
All that said... and this was a tough one. I'm gonna go with -
Who's gonna take the Weight.
- not only does Guru come off, but when I heard Premier do that last bit of line scratching at the end of this song to paradoy the melody, I was addicted.

Mass Appeal is second.
There's no wrong answer to this question...except "The Mall".
You're such pests...now, what is it you want? In your depths of your ignorance, what is it you want? Well, whatever it is you want, I can't deliver because I just don't see it. - Orson Welles

Work Flip the Script Take It Personal The Militia
Man, I can't decide. My favorite two albums are: Moment of Truth and Daily Operation. And I can play both on constant repeat all day long.If I had to seriously just pick one, I'd prolly go with "Royalty". KCi and JoJo showed their asses on that.

DJs tend to play the instrumental a lot of the live shows I go to when they are setting up the stage (for example they played it before Masta Ace came on in Boston at his show I went to a couple weeks ago) and that shit *always* gets me hype. Love that beat so much.

You know I used to be a player, fly girl layer and a heartbreaker Lovemaker, backbreaker but then I made a Mistake: yes I fell in love with this ill chick
(Check)
She phones me and goes on about her new life now I wish she knew right now I think she's busted let's discuss it When I was with her no trust, just fights Just the he-say-she-say and the neighborhood highlights
(Check)
Her thoughts were erratic, sporadic, crazy in nature I told her hey look I can no longer date ya
(Check)
You messed up my flow although you were good-lookin' Yes darlin' was fly and this was the problem
(Check)
Funny thing is I was in HS and Guru was in his late 20's when I first heard the record, but damm if every man hasn't gone through this lol
