Description:

Undoubtedly one of the most respected, influential, and consistently tight DJ/MC combos in the history of hip-hop, Guru and Premier have evolved from an afro-centric, break-heavy duo in the vein of Eric B & Rakim to legendarily versatile veterans with almost 20 years in the game. The untouchable one-two punch of DJ Premier`s street-level beats and Guru`s signature smoothed-out voice leaves an army of producers and lyricists in their shadows. Though just a small sampling of the group`s output, the 16 classics that make up the greatest-hits compilation, MASS APPEAL, prove that Gang Starr`s body of work--which never once pandered to commercialism at the expense of artistic vision--has irrevocably raised the bar of East Coast hip-hop to a level that most newer acts can only dream of reaching.
