If any hip-hop group can lay claim to a flawless discography, Gang Starr comes remarkably close. After finding their sound with No More Mr. Nice Guy, Guru and DJ Premier released nothing but classic material; their next four LPs—from 1990's Step in the Arena to 1998's The Moment of Truth—easily transitioned through several eras of rap. With Guru's smooth, observant, deadpan cool and Premier's seemingly endless reserve of production-wizard knowledge, Gang Starr were one of those acts whose album cuts could've easily been highlighted as singles, all-killer-no-filler enterprises built to make your skip button collect dust.
