YMMV / Gang Starr

Go To

  • Awesome Music: "Moment of Truth" and "I'm the Man" are just two of many examples.
  • Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: "Hiney", a Hidden Track snuck into the middle of The Ownerz.
  • Growing the Beard: Guru's rhymes and Premier's beats would only get better as time went on.
  • Harsher in Hindsight: "In Memory Of...", in which Gang Starr pays tribute to various fallen figures the group was friends with/looked up to can be a bit harder to listen to these days considering Guru can now be placed among the list of names mentioned in the chorus.
  • Older Than They Think: It's not particularly common knowledge that the Gang Starr people know and love is actually its second incarnation, and that the first incarnation released their first single in 1987, and formed two years prior.
  • Signature Song: "Mass Appeal"
