Historical background

Gang Starr , consisting of Guru (MC) and DJ Premier (producer), is one of the most influential duos of 90s hip-hop. With "Daily Operation" (1992), they honed their minimalist, sample-based sound, which had a lasting impact on hip-hop production. "Take It Personal" is a classic Guru track about authenticity in rap, while "DWYCK" became a party favorite with "Nice & Smooth" and is still considered one of their biggest tracks.
