The group was founded in 1986 by Guru (then known as Keithy E. The Guru) and DJ 1,2 B-Down (also known as Mike Dee) with various producers, such as Donald D, J.V. Johnson or DJ Mark the 45 King helping out. In 1987 and 1988, Gang Starr released three 12" vinyl singles on the Wild Pitch label.
In 1989, the group split and the only member willing to continue under the name Gang Starr was Guru. He soon got in touch with DJ Premier (then known as Waxmaster C) who sent him a beat tape which Guru liked. He invited DJ Premier to join Gang Starr and in that same year they released their first single "Words I Manifest" along with the album "No More Mr. Nice Guy" (1989).
During their career Gang Starr helped pioneer the New York hip hop sound, and in fact, many an artist who achieved greater notoriety owes much of their sound, lyrical style, and even content to Gang Starr. The entirety of Gang Starr's catalog, especially Step in the Arena (1990), Daily Operation (1992) "Hard to Earn" (1994) and Moment of Truth (1998) are well-respected among critics. Their track "Jazz Thing", featured on the soundtrack to Spike Lee's film Mo' Better Blues, helped establish the sound of jazz rap.
Both members of Gang Starr have deep roots in the New York hip hop scene, despite hailing from Boston, Massachusetts (Guru) and Houston, Texas (DJ Premier), and have each worked with countless artists.
The Gang Starr Foundation was a loose collective of various people who have worked closely with the group, through either Guru's now defunct Ill Kid label, DJ Premier's production work or the management company that Gang Starr was represented by, Empire Management. The founding member was Vikar.
It is undetermined if the group actually broke up or not. However, on September 1, 2005, Guru has revealed in an interview with the hip hop online magazine sohh.com that the group doesn't exist anymore, but that it has ended instead of breaking up. This has finally cleared up the rumors that came up first on the European Gang Starr tour in 2003/2004 when DJ Premier suddenly went back to the US and Guru continued touring under the group's name with another DJ. However, in a December 21, 2005 interview with the online magazine allhiphop.com, DJ Premier has denied that Gang Starr is history; he said it's rather a long break than a real break up. In a more recent interview from April 20, 2006, with the online magazine hoodstars.net, Guru has stated he would not work with his previous partners anymore. In a newer interview he stated that Gang Starr has reached the peak and that he is out of the project. To add even more to the confusion, DJ Premier said in a November 21, 2006 interview with the XXL Online Magazine "If I confirm it, then its official. If I dont confirm it, then we still together." On September 21, 2007, he also told Red Bull Music Academy; "If Guru wants to do it Im down, its really up to him. Hes the one that said we should pause for a minute and if thats how he feels fine by me. If he calls me tomorrow and says Im ready to start, Im ready."

90s hip hop is the pinnacle of musical greatness
Now, this is how rap is suppose to be dark, gritty and grimy. today's rapper's yall need to take notes. This is back when rap was about the streets and struggles that came with it.
Guru was the coolest, illest, slickest rapper on the planet! RIP GURU!!!
guru had a flow that was simplistic yet so damn complex. RIP Guru
and the truth is that you wish you could live the life i live and kick the lyrics i kick
One of the greatest
I am so lucky to have experienced the GOLDEN AGE OF HIP HOP/RAP, the MUSIC WAS RAW AS FUCK!!!
+Daniel Marquis Don't give up just yet there are still plenty of Underground and unknowns that make the illest Hip Hop.
+Dave V True
One of the dopest classics of all time. Guru and Premiere we're one of a kind. Lyrical genius!
I"m still playing this song today and Mass Appeal faithfully!
This SONG changed my Life in 1992-93!
The hole Album is a Masterpiece,Great Art,Classic like wine older-better,Timeless!!!
Gangstarr Folife!!!
Rest in Peace GURU
i bumped in myself to they're music around 2010
Aryan Amir yeah, guru and preemo are the definition of hip hop
Good Old Persian I feel the same way you do! So thoughtful!
arya farzin
Damet garm ;)
Curtis Hall
Yea bro,There are not enuff words to describe this Album,realy!
This when i realized DJ Premire was beyond his time
Side note thanks for the likes and guru on the track just made it even better
Definitely.
Man, you gotta give it up for Guru too. He murders every beat Premo has produced for him.
Probably the best hip hop duo of all time and I'm def not talking about the features on Drakes next album.
If I could knock back the clock I'd stay. Salute to real hiphop.
Supa Star by group home did it for me,,put him over the top for me
This is one of the HARDEST RAP SONGS ever made!
D Sword Word
After Lil' Pump tho he changed the game with them pink dreads/braids.
Fuck dis wack nigga talkin bout, fake & dump? Go listen to lil yachty, Fucking lame ass wanna-be culture vultures!!!! 🐂💩🗑🐌💀😵👂🔫👈
What I like about gang Starr is that guru wrote all his rhymes and every single beat was done by premo
That's a real Duo right there. Half these rappers spit non-sense in a mic then hand it off to their team of producers to do the work for them. This OG style of hiphop required a turntable, a mixer, monitors etc. And almost everyone did their own shit. The barrier was high for people wanting to get in. You had to have talent. Now it seems that they create the music video before the song.
FACTS!!
That was the Formula back then. Like any Real Group or duo such as ERIC B. & RAKIM, PUBLIC ENEMY, PETE ROCK & CL SMOOTH, BLACK MOON.... Nowadays it's several random producers that juggle between every music artist & they mommas. So, nothing is really authentic as far as whole classic albums. They only want temporary instant gratification for their ADD (very short attention spans). That's why the garbage that's out now for the vast majority of sheeple kids can't relate to the GREATS -> G.O.A.T.'S!!!! 🐐👑🌟💎
Guru made some bears for Gang Starr like Code of The Streets!
This beat it's crazy
Man this song applies more to today then it did in 92. All them wack ass rappers can take it personal
And there are sooooo many of them. Trying to find something genuine is like a needle in a haystack.
Those drums tho GOT DAMN
Word, how he chopped the Skull Snaps break! Peace.
brings back high school lunch table chyper memories ...... this tape was one of my favs
Guru was a genius
Always loved that the Grand Puba line that Primo cut into this hook was "But honey, DON'T take it personal..."
bluemonkjd
"Smooth as Jermaine so honey don't take it personal."
Best use of that drum break on any hiphop production ever
+Bergan's Beats dunno---its killer but the Ultramagnetics tune that used it was maybe iller
Premier made countless classics I don't think I have a favorite beat by him damn near all of them are fire
One of the best hip hop songs of all time R.I.P. Guru I miss this era
Guru was the truth Rip, premo is a beast..sent chills i was in 12th grade got damn i miss real music..
DAM premier cuts be razor sharp!!
FACTS!!
🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪
Real hip hop at it best miss this RIP Guru still one best emcee s from my era let's play this back again 2015 still banging this gem classic
+Kendall Jones "There ought be lawz against ya yappin your jawz". Classic!!
Pleasure meeting Preemo twice, the man has nothing but respect for GURU. Gangstarr forever.
Gang Starr the Illest besides NAS! Peace and Positive Vibes
Hellllll nah, my opinion though ;). Although NAS was dope in his own right I think both Gangstarr and NAS influenced their circle in hip hop to a great degree from different generations.
Im mad as hell I wasn't born 20 years before though. My life would be crazy different in a good way if I was born in 1976 instead of 1996. wow that would be fun as hell. All the hiphop I would endure would be so memorable.
#1975born ....the life back in da late 80s -mid 90s was epic
Harold Roach '69 Born. I experienced the birth of Hip Hop in the early '80s and enjoyed my breakdancing and beatbox days too :)
David Muriithi idk if I could be 44-45 in 2014. That sounds king tut as hell hahaha
Wernt that great! NOT! (90s phrase! LOL) It was fuckin awesome! including the RnB and Dance scene!
lyfe1zruff never had anybody say that. That is some true shit. Only because it was 1992 back then it was regular. I would have just liked to see how it was back then though for a little bit still.
GIFTED UNLIMITED RHYMES UNIVERSAL
Cool as fuck!
My favorite Gang starr jam was to deep! 😎 ass jam.
G.U.R.U.?
I don't think I ever heard a beat so crunchy and compressed as the first time I heard this on vinyl
RIP Guru
What year did he pass
Listen and learn when the father speaks. GIFTED UNLIMITED!
I’m from Brazil and a hip hop head , and next month I will make a gang starr logo tattoo on my arm , rip Guru.
One of the illest tracks from Gang Star. RIP Guru.

Mumble rappers took it personal no Auto tuning
you just can't find a bad gang starr track !!!
Daily Operation is not the best GangStarr album, but over the last 10 years it has become my favorite. It is their rawest work. Neither Guru or Premier had perfected their craft or peaked. But the this album just speaks to me. I took drivers training, took the SAT, got my first real job, and was kicking it with the bangers girl in my class in 1992. This was my soundtrack....
I remember when MTV had yo MTV rap and guru gangstar came throw dammm mad love to guru rip men
It was at this point that I realized DJ Premier's genius at beat making...
Geech Beezy I know what you mean. The first time I heared this back in 92 on the radio I was like WaaaaaTF that piano and the beat so dusty and grimy str8 dope. This to me is when DJ Premier became Preemo. R. I. P GURU you were one of the best to ever do it.
this might be the best beat guru spit over.
mass appeal is a great beat to
+Robert Petrie Yeah mass appeal and dwyck are much better than this.
Mass Appeal and Code of the street
guru is watching over the spirit of hip-hop from the other side!
one of my top five m.c right here
I just got hook to this song here, I love this song to the fullest. Gang Starr is the best rap duo ever PERIOD!!! R.I.P. GURU
You don't know how much energy I get from listening to this dude
and there was no social media like that back then so it was exciting to buy mix tapes and see exclusive shit on there i was born 77 so I'm glad I enjoyed the era....rip guru
Junior High School days lol ....classic !
Hell yeh, skateboarding, baggy jeans, weed was still a federal offense lol.
I LOVE GANGSTARR!
This is when hip hop was Dope and understood man we don't have music like this anymore
DJ PREMIER IS BY FAR THE BEST PRODUCER/DJ EVER ( NOW INCLUDE SCRATCHING AND SAMPLING ) AND THAT INCLUDES DR. DRE ( WHO IS THE. KING OF BEATS OF THE 90's & 2000's ) BUT LACKED SCRATCHING IN HIS PRODUCTION ( NOT INCLUDING HIS WORLD CLASS WRECKIN' CREW DAYS ) WHY I SAY THIS IS SIMPLE!!! HE CHESS OF SAMPLE RECORDS IS EXTENSIVE AND AT THE SAME TIME SUPERIOR THAN ANYONE!!! NOW THE 80's BELONGS TO THE KING OF BEATS: MANTRONIK BUT FROM THE 90's AND BEYOND IT IS DR. DRE BUT OVERALL DJ PREMIER IS KING OF THIS HERE PRODUCTION/DJ GAME OVERALL
