Much appreciated on the Gang Starr scans and links!! Thanks to all of you guys. You've been super helpful!

Hello!! I'm desperately looking for ANY magazine scans related to Gang Starr... Interviews, features, and reviews would be greatly appreciated!!!

Particularly Ego Trip #12 in 1997. I've seen it on thimk.wordpress but it's no longer available!

Thanks in advance!

Can someone please repost links to this collection? I've been finding dead links across the net...

Thanks.

Everyone you mentioned has already achieved more success and notoriety than you have. Are you sure you're not self-projecting here, guy? You think I would rather be in Max B's situation than mine? No disrespect to the dude, but he's got a lot of problems right now. I don't have anything like that o...

Yeah, I just brought up the Gunplay thing because I was on another board and a lot of people were calling him a "moron" and a "retard" etc., and admittedly, the guy doesn't strike me as a very smart man. The same way Lil Scrappy doesn't come off as very smart or Chief Keef who can barely speak. So i...

So there's been a lot of talk on message boards lately that this guy Gunplay is a moron. I mean you would think he would like the direction his life was going in and wouldn't do anything to fuck it up, but apparently he's gonna do anything he can do to fuck it up. It's become quite apparent that the...

Since I haven't seen a post about this record since the "I Love It" single came out a year ago, I figured I'd start one... First of all, let me say that I'm a diehard Outsidaz fan. Pacewon is probably my favorite rapper ever... With that said, this is probably my favorite rap album of 2012. It's pre...

There HAS NEVER been a more disappointing experience in my life than listening to Cage's Depart From Me album. My face didn't move for 60 minutes. No one, I mean NO ONE, will go from as dope as I thought Cage was to as wack as he sounded on that album. It was a true abomination! So unless he pulls a...

Well you know I'm gonna say Archetype because of how dope I thought Bleed For Them was... http://www.amazon.com/Bleed-Them-Archetype/dp/B000TXZ292/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1327541447&sr=1-1 But if you want me to say someone I haven't been pushing for years, how about Iller Than Theirs... http:...

well, hello everyone. this is tyler. someone randomly sent this shit to my email a couple days ago, and ive been lurking since. truthfully, i think this shit is weird, that someone fround the hypebeast thing and all that other shit just from my name, seach IP adress and all that...but, fuck it. thi...

I WILL ALWAYS prefer sample-based hip hop over this keyboard and synthesizer shit.

Infamous Syndicate

I was just wondering what she's doing a few days ago. I never liked "5 O'Clock" but she seemed like she was gonna have a longer career. Tough break. Infamous Syndicate, like with Shawnna? On Relativity? I always hated those broads...

I think we all know how equations work. Let me start...

Kid Sister>Nicki Minaj

Kidz In The Hall>Cool Kids

Shyheim>U-God

The Testament's a little rough around the edges.

I'd have to go with "The Realness". I played that tape heavy circa 2001. And it still receives moderate burn today.

I don't know how many of you are familiar with Archetype, but they're a Lawrence, KS rap group consisting of ID (MC) and Nezbeat (Producer/MC). Here's two tracks from their forthcoming album Red Wedding... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v394/Bankston950/RWFRONTsmalljpg-1.jpg Archetype- "Everybody...

If I had the choice to be 31 and listen to Gang Starr or be 22 and listen to Azealia Banks, I'd take... Being 22 and listening to Azealia Banks. But that's only because of how much I want to be 22 again. But in real life, if you're 22, you can listen to whatever music you want to... so why choose Az...

I don't know how some of you guys peep shit like this and COMPLETELY ignore otherwise doper lesser-known shit. The older I get the more I realize how important the marketing is and how unimportant the music is... Family is suppose to stick together brah. Yeah well if an Ant Banks thread gets starte...

I will also co-sign all the love for "Jewelz". Doper than Word...Life? I think so. More consistent.

Slick Rick- The Ruler's Back http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v394/Bankston950/slick2.jpg I can't explain to you how dope I think this record is... It's truly one of a kind... I swear it's the only record that sounds like this! Fast rap on even faster production. Rick's just telling dope stories......

I don't know how some of you guys peep shit like this and COMPLETELY ignore otherwise doper lesser-known shit. The older I get the more I realize how important the marketing is and how unimportant the music is...

Yeah, Jaz. That "Moe" is Moe Crazy. Thanks for the positive feedback, guys. It's appreciated.

Parody rap?

Mic Stylz- "So Suburban" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZenCj2HpEFI

For the record, it's not my bag.

How about Charli Baltimore- "Everybody Wanna Know" and "Stand Up" with Ghostface. Is she a shitty enough rapper?

Dayton Family- "Flint Town"

This is for those songs that weren't necessarily huge enormous universal classics , and are mostly forgotten, but have aged very well and should be reconsidered. EPMD- "Crossover"??? Most people consider them a Top 10 rap group ever and it's arguably their biggest hit! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

Sleazy J,

I just put "pre98" because I didn't want the thread to go in the direction of DMX-"Ruff Ryder's Anthem", Jay-Z- "Can I Get A...", or any shit of that nature. It has nothing to do with 1998 being my idea of the end of classic hip hop or anything like that...

Onyx- "Slam" I was listening to Backspin on Sirius yesterday and was feeling like four consecutive songs and then "Slam" came on and I thought, "I'm not gonna spend the next four minutes of my life listening to this". If it was "Last Dayz", "Live Niguz", or even "Shiftee", it may have been a much di...

More to the point, the love this album is getting fucking bewilders me!

So I'm in the supermarket today and I see a copy of Respect Magazine. Jay-Z and Kanye are on the cover and the caption reads: "Watch The Throne is the most important album in hip hop history. And we can prove it!" Now I didn't crack the magazine open to look at the evidence (although I am kind of in...

That's funny.
