    1. I absolutely love Moment Of Truth, both song and album. Shame Guru had to pass away the way he did amidst all the controversy. I remember buying Jazzmatazz Vol. 2 just a few days before he passed away and I just kept on playing Something In The Past and Count Your Blessings from that album.

    2. Step in the Arena > Hard to Earn > Daily Operation > Moment of Truth > The Ownerz > No More Mr Nice Guy

    3. Who cares about that wack ass underground rapper? It’s 2011 now, nobody gives a rat’s ass about that old shit. New school hip-hop FTW

      1. you stupid shit, none of this new school bullshit would be here if it werent for these niggas. fucking retarded posing ass kids these days.

      2. “i dont know why ya ll respond to this dumbass loser whos just wants some attention”
        Now you know how it feels when your favorite artists get trolled, huh?

      3. did this jason muthafuka actually call this new bullshit hip hop? hahaha! go find a new genre of music ya faggot!

      4. @jason

        So… Is your favorite ” rapper ” Wacka or Gucci? Maybe Wayne? What about Soulja Boy? Tyga? Drake?
        Oh! Now I know; is it Nicki Minaj? LOL

    4. I paid $32.67 for a XBOX 360 and my mom got a 17 inch Toshiba laptop for $94.83
      being delivered to our house tomorrow by FedEX. I will never again pay expensive
      retail prices at stores. I even sold a 46 inch HDTV to my boss for $650 and it
      only cost me $52.78 to get. Here is the website we using to get all this stuff,
      hitp e n n y.com

    5. Great list. Anything with GURU is amazing though. He was one of just a few of rappers that I always enjoy to hear.

    6. surprising……..suckaz need bodyguards,fala(fuck around lay around), take two and pass,say your prayers,check the technique…….guru was my favorite emcee of all time him , scarface , 2pac and Common..i hope premier makes another gangstarr cd

    7. damn, almost all of the moment of truth album made this cut..

      that album is fuckin classic!

      “you got no wins here, so better luck NEXT TIME!”

    8. I don’t c y ppl are talkin so much trash on this?!? If Premo HIMSELF made the list, then its obviously THE list to go off of people. Damn!

    9. NICE LIST CAN’T go wrong with some classic gang starr, but cmon premo, guru had more solo material that was worthy but i guess givin any of the stuff he did with solar props wouldnt work, i would hafta add the guru track off the bob marley cd chant down babylon, thats my shit!

    10. Guru was never honored remotely as well as Nate Dogg was when he died. I understand why I just wish someone as unique and awesome as he was got a bit more acknowledgement. Guru’s voice and enlightened lyrics went perfect with his beats. Glad Moment of Truth was at the top, one of the greatest songs in any genre of music ever.

      1. 9 out of 10 people never heard of gang starr or guru til after he died, but everyone knows nate dogg, sad but true

    11. How you gonna complain about HIS list? HIS list of music HE PRODUCED?

      “AND PLEASE DO NOT START TELLING ME WHAT I MISSED! THESE ARE MY FAVORITES…FEEL FREE TO DO YOUR OWN.”

      Did you lames skip that part?

    12. Dope list… one song I love, with features Guru is ‘I’ve Lost My Ignorance’ by the Dream Warriors.
