VMP July Hip-Hop Record of the Month: “No More Mr. Nice Guy” by Gang Starr
About GangStarr
“Released in the spring of 1989, Gang Starr’s debut album, ‘No More Mr. Nice Guy,’ arrived right at the crucial intersection of the old school and golden age of New York rap. You cannot begin to discuss New York rap lineage without drawing a line through the first decade of Gang Starr. Should history be corrected to appropriately acknowledge Gang Starr’s influence and brilliance, it will need an origin story. ‘No More Mr. Nice Guy’ is that saga. It’s a hard ridge in a changing landscape, the sound of everything shifting, the kernel of greatness germinating. It is Guru and Preemo. Preemo and Guru. An essential title not just for what it would lead to, but because of what it is.” writes music journalist and cultural critic for Pitchfork, Dean Van Nguyen.
