Thoughts on this underrated album from Gang Starr.

4.5 stars IMO. I wouldn't say it's underrated but it's overlooked because of the multiple classics in GangStarr's discography. It's still a must have for any hip-hop fan.

When your 5th best album is 4.5 stars, you know you've got a great discog.

Cosign on the discog comment, no doubt. Overlooked, definitely. This came out in a year that was essentially G-Unit's year so unfortunately it was overlooked.

You guys really overate Gang Starr's discog. I just don't hear it. They have plenty of pure classic songs but their albums have plenty of filler and average ass songs.

SMH, just chalk it up to you not being a Gangstarr fan. Honestly, I don't think you're all that familiar with their discog or spun their albums more than a handful of times.

If someone said that the Geto Boys greatest hits album was their best, you'd have a conniption.

I remember really liking this at one time. The last few spins, however, left me feeling that it's pretty boring overall. The standouts are dynamite...that is limited to 4 or 5 tracks, though.

3.5

3.5

That is the reverse of what happened to me, I used to give it that rating but the more I have spun the more I have liked it.

4.5

4.5ish stars. Capture, PLATYTAWIN, and Rite Where U Stand are my favorites, with Who Got Gunz as an honorable mention

I thought it was one of the best albums of 2003, and I still feel that way.

Co-sign on Peace Of Mine. Rite Where U Stand and Who Got Gunz would round out my top 3. I got the album around 4.0-4.25 stars
