Free Music Notes for Daily Operation

Free Music Review: They Were Getting Better With The Times (Rating: 8 out of 10- -4.0 stars)
Hit: 4 Stars

After their sucess of their previous LP Step in the Arena, Guru and Primo hit the masses again with their third full length LP Daily Operation. I believe this was the time where people started recognizing that Gang Starr was here in this Hip Hop thing for longevity, as they evolved from their previous LP. I origonally gave that album a 7, but decided to bump it to an 8 out of 10. Now that I think about it, the majorty of Gang Starr's albums I reviewed have received the same score, with the exception of Moment of Truth which was a perfect 10 in my book.

There are highlights that are floating around the album. A favorite of mine is "I'm The Man" which features Lil' Dap, and Jeru The Damaja. That track alone is a classic. The thing about Guru I always liked was that he was able to get his point across on the majority of the songs that he made, even with his signature monotonoe voice. "Soliloquy of Chaos" is one of those tracks whereas they do a show and erupts in chaos. Another example is "No Shame In My Game" (I like that intro), whereas Guru doesn't sweat any BS and tries to be himself on anything.

As for DJ Premier, you can tell he was much better behind the boards as well. As mentioned before "I'm The Man", he shows you what he can do, especially when it came to Jeru's verse. Other dope beats are on tracks like "Bust Your ****", and "Take It Personal".

The only problem I had with the album was that was too long of an album, at points it seemed like it was a drag. I sort of realized that when I got to track #15. Thats my personal gripe about this album. Overall Gang Starr set it off for '92 with a great album. This is one I would recommend to any Hip Hop fan of the east coast. Peace!

Daily Operation Poster

On their third outing, Guru and Premier continue to deliver intellectual hardcore, mixing deft rhymes with serious beatology. Premier continues to mine the jazz vaults, uncovering some seriously dusty grooves, with which he concocts some of the best minimalist hip-hop to ever be committed to wax. Just listen to "The Place Where We Dwell." Made up of nothing more than a looped drum track and scratching, it illustrates the less-is-more aesthetic to a T. Guru once again lets loose with the monotone flow that is his trademark--a flow that tastes like slow-roasted butter. Furthermore, jams like "Ex Girl to the Next Girl" prove that there is such a thing as a good hip-hop love song that exudes street cred rather than syrupy wackness. The album is especially noteworthy for containing the progressive "I'm the Man," which marked the recorded debut of both Jeru the Damaja and Little Dap. Plus, "Soliloquy of Chaos" not only gets the Mensa award for word choice but also serves as an eloquent condemnation of the violence that had become de rigueur at hip-hop shows. --Spence Abbott
