Free Music Notes for Full Clip: Decade of Gang Starr
Free Music Review: "Gang Starr: One of the Best Yet"
Hit: 5 Stars
For a truly amazing "Greatest Hits" album that actually justifies the name you need 3 solid qualities:
1) A solid collection from all of the artist's albums
2) Rare Tracks released as singles or other compilations
3) A couple of high quality new songs or remixes
This should be standard for any music genre, making a true "best of" album rewarding for newcomers and long time fans. Needless to say 90% of these type of albums fall short, and certainly even more so for rap music.
Leave to it one of the greatest groups ever to step up to the plate and fulfill everything with "Full Clip: A Decade of Gang Starr". This greatest hits actually lives up to the hype and represents the group to perfection. First they took a solid approach by offering two discs worth of material, ensuring a solid offering of material from ALL their albums:
No More Mr. Nice Guy: "Word's I Manifest"
Step In the Arena: "Who's Gonna Take the Weight", "Just To Get A Rep", "Step In The Arena"
Daily Operation: "Ex To Next Girl", "I'm The Man", "Soliloquy of Chaos", "Take It Personal", "B.Y.S."
Hard To Earn: "Mass Appeal", "Tons O Guns", "DWYCK", "Speak Ya Clout", "Code Of The Streets", "Now You're Mine"
Moment of Truth: "The Militia" "Royalty", "You Know My Steez", "Above The Clouds", "Work", "Betrayal"
Sure in some cases personal favorites might be on your `greatest hits' collection from Gang Starr, but there's certainly nothing here that anyone would complain about. And certainly the Gang Starr nut is going to love adding those rare tracks to their collection. "Jazz Thing (Remix)", "Gotta Get Over (Taking Loot)", "1/2 & 1/2", "The ? Remainz", "So Wassup?!", "Credit is Due", "Milita Pt. II", "You Know My Steez (Remix)" are all from soundtracks, vinyl, or B-Sides that were previously pretty hard to find and rough on your pockets. Not only is that a lot of material, but it's also some of the groups best tracks as well. In particular "Gotta Get Over" is an older classic, "So Wassup?!" has a hard thumping piano sample, "1/2 & 1/2" is a new classic feat. M.O.P., "Milita Pt. II" features a vicious verse by Rakim, and "Steez (Remix)" is absolutely sick as Primo flips the original beat backwards. Basically, not only does this album offer that hard to find material, but they give us the best.
Primo & Guru don't stop there, they give their fans 3 absolutely new tracks to chew on. You might mistake "All 4 Tha Ca$h" as a track off Daily Operation, "Disipline" is a great track that sounds like it belonged on Moment of Truth, and "Full Clip" let's fans know straight up that they're gonna be around for 10 more years.
What else is there left to say about this collection? You really couldn't ask for anything else but another 2 more discs of material. If anyone needs to be convinced of how great Gang Starr is, this is definitely the place to start. Let me attest that my copy is worn out, scratched and banged up from all the repeat listens and borrowing that it's been subject to. There shouldn't be a single Gang Starr fan that doesn't own this album, or in fact any rap fan period. Quite simply this is one of the best "Greatest Hits" albums out there, and its no more appropriate that it's another offering from none other than Gang Starr.
