Your single favorite Gangstarr track of all time

Funk Docta Bombay · Post by **Funk Docta Bombay** » Wed Apr 13, 2005 9:19 am

Mass Appeal

1)smooth sample
2)slammin drums and scratches
3)Guru's passive-agressive threats towards wack emcees who sell out

perfect combination.

Damn son, so many to choose from. I'll go with "Who's Gonna Take The Weight?"

Have to agree with "Mass Appeal." That beat is top 5 for me.

That's like asking MJ which is his favorite championship.

Moment of Truth spits the truest words ever.

If not that, then..... Check tha Technique.... or...... What you want this time.... or......

Fuckit, i cant decide.

theres two gangstarr songs that are top ten all time for me...as for the gangstarr catalog they have always been 1 and 1a

1. step into the arena- muscially put together better than any rap song ever...the drums are unreal and overall there is so much dopeness going on and primo somehow brings it together flawlessly

1a. mass appeal- the ultimate head nodder...i love guru but the best part of the song is after his last verse when the beats just rides out...i made a post on here a couple weeks ago asking if anyone knows where in 'horizon drive' primo got the sample...i cant for the life of me find it

'Take A Rest' - when that bassline drops, and that ill break from 'UFO'... Sick. Definitely my favourite.

But yeah, could probably be a top ten, twenty, thirty even. 'Now Your Mine' is slept on too.

Raphael De La Ghetto · Wed Apr 13, 2005 2:38 pm

Above The Clouds.
Although I think deck outshines Guru, if were talking about Guru heating it up then check The Technique.

cuntface · Post by **cuntface** » Wed Apr 13, 2005 2:42 pm

to me it's probably speak ya clout

edit:

i'd also say a long way to go just cos of the scratching at the end

Icesickle · Post by **Icesickle** » Wed Apr 13, 2005 2:44 pm

"We Got Gunz" is slept on hard cause it's a recent track...but I get hyped like a motherfucker whenever I hear it.

Mass Appeal and Above the Clouds are ill too.

Bring Back The Tempo · Wed Apr 13, 2005 2:47 pm

either "executionof a chump", "the militia", or "do what ya can kid"

Money Gripp · Post by **Money Gripp** » Wed Apr 13, 2005 3:58 pm

"Code Of The Streets" or "Above The Clouds" - but if you put a gun to my head I'd have to go with the latter.

1 - above the clouds

words don't do justice to these tracks.

one of my personal favourites is no shame in my game, but probably mass appeal is probably the all time best

Yeah, that was such a creative use of the sample, and it makes that track sound so hype

Code of the Streets
Dwyck
Work (If only for the beat)
Above The Clouds
Just 2 Get A Rep

Depending on the day, any of these could be my favorite single Gang Starr song.
