The Ownerz - 4 Stars (Right Where U Stand feat. Jadakiss)

I've listened to some tracks from No More Mr. Nice Guy but not the entire album yet, so I can't rate it.

Also, Full Clip is a compilation album so I won't include it.

Full Clip is their greatest hits double album save for the title track and a couple others.

My personal favorite from them is Moment Of Truth, but you can't go wrong with any of their albums. Cop them all.

I like playing Full Clip the most personally.

I have the new songs from Full Clip as the album on my computer. Because I'm smart.

Full Clip is the Gang Starr album/hits that I spin the most. Its flawless damn near. I use to own Step Into The Arena and Daily Operation back in the day. But I have always like Gangstarr's singles and b-sides more so than a whole album. There singles are their best songs period and Full CLip offers all of them in one bomb ass package. I only hate that Suckas Need Bodyguards is not on it.

Favorite Trax 4 Me:
Mass Appeal
Above the Clouds
Discipline
Royalty
You Know My Steez
Tonz O Gunz
Soliloquy of Chaos
Remainz
Take It Personal
Militia
