It's just one week away! With singles like "Skillz" and "The Natural", this really does sound like Gang Starr's best yet. The biggest release of the year and I couldn't be more excited. Who's with me? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like that Skillz track. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
best not to get your hopes up, but it does look good |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Why titsworth? Because of the potential disappointment? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
exactly.. best to be excited but not assume it'll be their best work, cos then even if it's great it'll be disappointing |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|

True - I hear that. BTW, if you haven't heard "Soul Supreme - The Saturday Night Agenda" - - I suggest you do so immediately. It starts a little slow but from track 3 to the end it's amazing. |

Its leaaked???? Somebody gon get killed :( |

|

|||||||||

|
|
are you guru or premo? if not why do you care? they did a great job at keeping it safe for MONTHS. some magazines published reviews of it back in april (i think they changed the album since then though). i think it leaking just a week before it comes out will do it some good since it'll still be fresh when it actually comes out. it's a really banging album! |

read the news about gang starr on this page http://www.hiphopsite.com/NEWS/ |
||||||||
|

|
|
i know, i read it the other day.. the copy that leaked yesterday must've been a retail copy, maybe from a japanese early release? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why dont people's promo releases have nasty amounts of noise every 30secs in the track? thats what i'd do, ok it wouldnt take long for people to remove them but at least i'd make em go to the effort |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No, no im not angry, and im not Premo ofcourse not ;) its just that they had a new way to keep the rippers off. and uhm SUPPORT GOOD MUSIC!!!! buy the album when its released (yall know that Premo is one of the best beat makers). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
people wont buy the album tho, thats the point |
||||||||

http://www.hiphopsite.com/?p=%2Fsearch%2F%3Fartistid%3DD84B AC28-1600-4157-BCEF-7D620FA89514 and all the DEFJUX promos have a really annoying girl-computer voice on all over the songs... thats a good way to keep the rippers off. But its all good to download it, do whatever yall want to,but please support if u like it :) ANARCHY!!!! |
||||||||
|
|

because the people reviewing the album would give it a 1 star out of 5 if they had to sit through that junk! :) i'm sure the ones who have to listen to the MCA and Def Jux voices every 30 seconds per song go crazy after a while as it is, i can't imagine dealing with grating noise. arch i think they were successful, none of the promos seem to get encoded.. i really do think this is a retail copy, which is out of their control. speaking of retail, for all those interested, this is a really great value. an exclusive mix cd w/ unreleased gang starr tracks and a nice new t-shirt in addition to the album. |

"gangstarr - do you wanna mess with us? - one of the best yet!" haven't heard the new stuff but i'm excited that they're back! about friggin' time! though nothing will beat 'step into the arena' as far as i'm concerned! |

Is primos scratching really that tight live ? I know he can't do the exact same thing as on the records , then he would have to have the coordination of an octopuss and six atleast turntables. But still ? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
yep, it's really that tight live. |

Coming from a Gang Starr devotee such as me this is big praise but I think this is their best work yet. The production is nuts and Guru is amazing as usual. We got Gunz! Get this. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no doubt. what's your 2nd favorite gang starr album now? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thanks for the info it sounds great as usual for gangstarr but i'm not feelin this glamourising guns / shooting people stuff... i thought gangstarr were more intelligent than that. but hey thats just me. |
||||||||

Cool! |

they're not "glamorizing guns", just employing them as an apt metaphor readily understood by all, and documenting their prevelance in society, especially among urban areas. listen to the lyrics before you judge them! |

Do me a favour. They are just pedalling the same shit as everyone else at the moment, coz it sells. EG: "You can catch a few shells One go right through your polo, man Usually I'm dolo and I gotta crazy team Car kissed the ride on you, watch for the laserbeam Shit, it's that Ol' G Flavor Remind you of a quarter bodega and that oldie behavior All point but I ain't tryna scuffle with chumps My long joints got the culture power plus the double pump Troublesome, to anyone who stands in the way I'll stand and I'll spray, FUCK if ya man is in the way" |

"They are just pedalling the same shit as everyone else at the moment, coz it sells." This album is unlike anything else at the moment. There's a load of positivity on the record as a whole - I chose this track in my previous post because the beat is sensational not for the message. titsworth - still love Hard To Earn. |

i saw their performance on Conan O'Brien last friday, and i must say that i was pleasantly surprised, because for a while i had an unfounded fear that they would go in some sort of jay-z meets justin timberlake direction, so i'm greatful that primo's production is still as top-notch as ever and they haven't turned into corporate ho's. the only disappointment? primo didn't bother to scratch at all - all the scratching was straight off the dub plates he was spinning - instead bothering himself with totally unnecessary background raps. what's up with that? |
||||||||

This is the first Gangstarr album that doesn't do it for me. All of their previous releases were instant classics but this only just manages to stand out from the crowd and that's only because it's gangstarr. That said, there hasn't been an awful lot of hiphop that has me going like "OMG THIS SHIT IS DA BOMB" lately so maybe it's me. But I'm positive it's not. me, that is. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Some of it is just not what i'd expect from a gangstarr album... maybe to appeal to a wider audience..? But generally, its good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmmm at first I was like wow!!! second listen hmmmmm thirds listen hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm fourth listen..nah, this is definitly not their best album. and yes, a lot of gun talk. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think moment of truth is the best Gang Starr album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and uhm the best tracks on the album imo: rite where u stand f/ jadakiss peace of mine who got gunz f/ m.o.p. & fat joe capture (militia pt. 3) f/ big shug & freddie foxx plawtawin riot akt skillz the ownerz in this life f/ snoop dogg & uncle reo and u must peep the hilarious skit parodying the clipse its called hiney ;) uhm titsworth and I got pretty much the same taste hehe |

the dj or the 'hype man' will usually fill in from time to time to approximate the sound of the record. at certain points in a song, the emcee's voice will be heard overlapping itself, wherever he wants to accentuate a part of the rhyme.. also, when performing live, one might need some time to catch his breath, so to make sure there isnt any silence where there shouldn't be, the dj or the hype man will fill in from time to time.. to fulfill both purposes |
