Never overly prolific nor overly popular, Gang Starr nonetheless became and remain one of hip-hop's most admired acts ever, the duo's legacy nothing short of legendary in terms of influence.

All the Gang Starr trademarks are in place, from Premier's perfect upchoruses to Guru's reedy voice cutting or instructing, and sounding better than ever.
The pair simply revert to the beats and concerns that made them an institution in hip-hop's golden age; except for the occasional cameo (Snoop Dogg, Jadakiss), The Ownerz could have hit the streets a decade ago without raising eyebrows.
Gang Starr sound comfortable, and that's the last thing they'd want.

Rap groups that manage to be both tough and smart are rare, but Brooklyn's Gang Starr is both.
Rapper Guru (Keith Elam) and DJ Premier (Chris Martin) are both perfectionists, with scholars' dedication to the study and lifestyle of hip-hop.
Although there are moments — the duet with Chaka Khan ("Watch What You Say") and tracks produced by the Solsonics ("New Reality Style," "Defining Purpose," "Maintaining Focus") — the record suffers from Guru's excessive pride, already duly documented on Gang Starr records, at having achieved his mission on the debut.

Working as Gang Starr for over 15 years by the time of this release, Guru & DJ Premier more than earned their reputation as one of the most skilled, intelligent hip-hop outfits ever to grab the microphone and work the turntables.
With Gang Starr's prior release, the underrated HARD TO EARN, seemingly in the distant past (five years), THE OWNERZ reflects the deliberate nature of the meticulous duo.
While Premier earned legendary status as producer on some of rap's most enduring records, he seems to do something extra for his home team, and THE OWNERZ may be his tightest work yet.

 Gang Starr tickets, concerts and tour dates. Official Ticketmaster site.
More albums came -- each impressive, beginning with the tough Hard to Earn album in 1994 -- yet Gang Starr had already attained their summit of popularity and acclaim in the early '90s and, as a result, continually battled their own growing legacy, as fans heralded every successive album as a comeback.
As ambitious as its aim may have been, the formative album didn't impress too many (though there were promising moments like "Manifest" and "DJ Premier in Deep Concentration"), and Gang Starr took two years to reconsider their approach.
While it's somewhat ironic that Premier produced so many across-the-board hits for others but not himself, Gang Starr never attained Nas- or Jay-Z-level stardom partly because of their uncompromising, somewhat highbrow style, something which the two refused to dilute with mass appeal, precisely the reason why their influence has proven so timeless.

Some will reminisce about the Old-School, some will praise gangsta rap and its offshoots into the Wu-Tang dynasty, others denounce the manufactured-popularity of M.C. Hammer and Vanilla Ice, and many will embrace the complex stylings of contemporaries Company Flow, Black Star, and the Roots.
Almost all, however, will revere groups whose longevity has made them an intrical part of the scene: Run-DMC, Public Enemy, Tribe Called Quest, and Gang Starr, among few others.
The latter has recently released a two-disc compilation, collecting greatest hits, B-sides, and other rarities.
