Gang Starr - Moving On

Review by Dago Inn

Gang Starr's album Moving On is a classic hip-hop masterpiece that showcases the duo's unparalleled skills in production and lyricism. Released in 1995, the album features 15 tracks that seamlessly blend jazz and funk samples with Guru's smooth rhymes and DJ Premier's hard-hitting beats.

The album opens with the title track "Moving On," a soulful track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Other standout tracks include "The Place Where We Dwell," "You Know My Steez," and "Royalty," which features K-Ci and JoJo of Jodeci.

What makes Moving On such a great album is the chemistry between Guru and DJ Premier. Guru's laid-back flow complements Premier's gritty beats, resulting in a sound that is both timeless and innovative. The album's themes of perseverance, self-reflection, and social awareness still resonate with listeners today.

Album herunterladen Gang Starr - Moving On

Gang Starr was an East Coast hip hop duo that consisted of the late MC Guru and DJ/producer DJ Premier. Their style combined elements of New York jazz and hip hop. The group was founded by Keith Elam in Boston, Massachusetts in 1985 (then known as Keithy E. The Guru) and DJ 1,2 B-Down (also known as Mike Dee) with various producers, such as Donald D, J.V. Johnson or DJ Mark the 45 King helping out. In 1987 and 1988, Gang Starr released three 12" vinyl singles on the Wild Pitch label. In 1989, the group split and the only member willing to continue under the name Gang Starr was Guru. He soon got in touch with DJ Premier (then known as Waxmaster C) who sent him a beat tape which Guru liked. He invited DJ Premier to join Gang Starr and in that same year they released their first single "Words I Manifest" along with the album No More Mr. Nice Guy (1989). During their career Gang Starr helped pioneer the New York hip hop sound. The entire Gang Starr's catalog, especially Step in the Arena (1991), Daily Operation (1992), Hard to Earn (1994) and Moment of Truth (1998) are well-respected among critics. Their track "Jazz Thing" was featured on the soundtrack to Spike Lee's film Mo' Better Blues.

@beastwitinn Based on what evidence? Pac didn't even believe in the Illuminati and ODB overdosed on drugs, RZA himself even confirmed that.

@ENOCHwithaGLOCK first he fell into a coma (I think after a heart attack), like 2 weeks before he died.. some people say he woke up from the coma, but then his condition got worse and he died of cancer. very sad, still cant believe it happened.. RIP GURU, A TRUE LEGEND !
