1. When I speak about greatest hits albums, I usually don't go by the quality of the work, but I go by whats on the album. Of course, if the quality of the songs themselves wern't good, then it wouldn't be worth being a hit. But when you get 33 hand songs packed from No More Mr. Nice Guy, Step in the Arena, Daily Operation, Hard to Earn, and Moment of Truth, as well as B-Sides and songs they contributed from soundtracks into two full CD's from Gang Starr between 1989-1999, then you should know what you're going to get, in this case a great amount of Guru and Premier.
   
   Disc 1 covers all the well known hits what this group has made. From "Ex Girl to Next Girl", "DWYCK", and "You Know My Steez". Not to mention some newly recorded songs such as "Discipline" which features Total, and a B-Side song "Who's Gonna Take The Weight". DJ Premier shows what he can do with Jazz music on "Jazz Thing" while Guru gives an ode to the genre.
   
   Disc 2 will feature more B-Sides and newly recorded songs than the previous disc. Most of the songs on here I haven't heard, because they don't appear on their albums, such as "The ? Remains" , and "So Wassup?". Then you receive a few more of their common songs such as "Step In The Arena", and "Work". The only thing I have to knock about "Work" being on here is that there is one that features Big L, and it doesn't appear here. Thats my small gripe. My favorite track here would be "1/2 & 1/2" featuring M.O.P. Towards the end, you have two new remixed tracks: "The Militia II" featuring W.C. and Rakim, and "You Know My Steez (Three Men & a Lady Remix)" featuring Kurupt and Lady Of Rage.
   
   There is no question in the air that if you're a Gang Starr fan to make Full Clip: A Decade Of Gang Starr into your music collection. It's one of the best "greatest hits" albums out there, not to mention a few more goodies. If you're new to this group, and this is the first album of theres you purchased, I recommend getting their albums as well (to include The Ownerz which was recorded after this album was released). As you can, this is one of the greatest groups out there in hip hop, and this album will show you why. Enjoy. Peace!

2. This is a great compilation of Gang Starr's works. Most greatest hits CD's tend to have a couple of good songs missing- often in the attempt to be able sell a Volume 2. 'Full Clip' does not have that problem even though 'Positivity' was not included. Despite that, this double-disc collection includes all of Gang Starr's hits from 1989-99.
   
   The rap duo of Gang Starr is undoubtedly one of hip-hop's greatest and most underrated groups. Guru provided the vocals in his monotone style while DJ Premier provided the production and the scratching, which no current rapper does anymore. The formula is simple, but it works. While it's easier these days to download songs, this compilation has too many good songs; because of that, I would actually suggest being prehistoric and buying this CD. Everything that is currently being played is so commercial and lacks the substance that groups like Gang Starr provided throughout the 90's. Moreover, Gang Starr is able to cover the gamut from party jams like 'Dwyck, to conscious cuts like 'Who's Gonna Take the Weight,' to hardcore cuts like 'The Militia.'
   
   Anyone who's a fan of hip-hop would agree that this is a great album. For the younger generation that's saturated with nothing but commercial, mindless hip-hop, it's about time they learned what real hip-hop sounds like even if it means that you can't always dance to it.



3. Gangstarr is my favorite group right behind Wutang clan. This a five star collection for sure to me. If I didn't already have a moment of truth, I would be a little heated for the simple fact thats not on it. Still Guru's rhymes and Premo's production is to die for. I have a lot of favorite tracks on this. But my #1 favorites is Code of the Streets, Militia, Jazz music, Discipline, and the man. If you into that ol skool rap and not this gay s*** droppin on the radio every month. Then cop this immediatly



4. This collection sums up the total career of this dynamic duo. If you love this collection then you should also get the albums where the greatest hits came from.



5. Ok before you start swearing at your computer hear me out all the songs here are classic I know that FACT!!!!! but were the HELL is DJ Premier In Deep Concentration, and the best GangStarr song of all time (in my opinoim) Moment Of Truth??????????

1. I work in a office of kids, as a matter of fact my nick name is the old man. In my office I am lax about my co-workers listening to music at thier P.C. as long as it is not to extreme. Anyhow one day I came in to hear a gettoised version of Every Breath You Take along with a bad re-make of I drove All Night. I have to admit Miss Dion is talented however my girl Cindy would have her for luch if she heard how bad her song was remade. Unfortunately I think the 90's created a music audiance that has no idea what music is. So I bought this box set and forced them to listen to it while at work. (It is good to be the Boss no offense to Bruce). I have to admit some of the employees are starting to come around. Some of the newer folks ask me if these are new mixes on quote modern songs. I admit, it gets frusterating explaing over and over again about how badly the 90's affected the music industry and no these are the original artists. The songs in this set are a good foundation for anyone seeking to go back in time and worship at the alter of 80's Gods. Now if I could only pick up a DeLorean and some Plutonium I would be good to go.



2. This is quite the box set. Nicely priced and full of 80's dance classics although if I'm not mistaken, Enigma came out in the 90's. At any rate, this is a four CD set full of dance tracks from the 80's which will give any lover of that decade motivation to move his feet. All the songs are extended versions for more oompth and they make a nice addition for your party music. If you love dance tracks and the 80's you'll love this box set! And with the price you can't go wrong. Highly recommended.



3. My first reaction was "oh my god... I remember that!". While you may date yourself by admitting this I can also assure you that you will enjoy most of these songs if you are a child of the 80's. There aren't a whole lot of collections featuring the distinctive dance sounds from that era but this set manages a nice variety that will transport you back. "Classics" such as 'Living On Video', 'Point of No Return', or 'People Are Still Having Sex' will transport you back to school dances in a simpler time of 80's capital greed. I would not recommend blasting these songs with your car windows rolled down but this set is great for working out, theme parties, or just a nice stroll through memory lane.
