Reviews

SlyStoned Feb 20, 2024
Great pressing of a great album. Gang Starr had quite a run in the early to mid 90's and it really began with Daily Operation. Essential for any fan of 90's Hip Hop!

I would consider this pice of art to be one of the greatest with its raw and classic sound. Premier and Guru are truly one of the greatest👑

The pressing sound’s absolutely amazing and is in no need for a 2LP reissue! No sibilance at all and has a nice and warm sound to it!

Definitely a hip hop essential!🙌

One of the albums that's most in need of a double lp
tiddlerz Oct 1, 2020
one of those records that define the term and concept of 'album'. i don't think of this in terms of individual tracks, singles, or anthems. its one, whole, almost perfectly conceived and executed, musical experience that evokes the early 90s NYC sound, vibe, and aesthetic.
