As one of the greatest hip-hop acts ever, Gang Starr's success cannot be measured by record sales alone. Guru's monotone delivery perfectly complimented DJ Premier's often-imitated boom-bap production... more »

New York-proud Pete Rock has built a solid career on equally sturdy rhymes and decent beats that skate the line between thug rap and backpacker hip-hop. If Nas wasn't so militant or if Wu Tang were co... more »

Cool James' particular charm--a mix of boyishness and maturity, rap edge and R&B smoothness--hasn't waned a bit over the years, as his latest LP proves. The blend is especially heady on Lil' Mo collab... more »
