Daily Operation
Encyclopedia : D : DA : DAI : Daily Operation
Daily Operation is Gang Starr's 1992 release and arguably their best work. The album represents the gritty sound of early 1990's Brooklyn hip-hop. Guru rhymes on a variety of subjects, from his intellectual depth on "2 Deep" to his penchant for smoking marijuana on "Take Two and Pass" to anger on "Take It Personal" to the opposite sex in "Ex girl to the next girl". DJ Premier's production is as top-notch as anything he's created in his career. The track "I'm the Man" also features the debuts of Lil Dap from the Group Home and Jeru the Damaja, two artists who gained instant underground credibility due to the exposure.
