This is exemplary of the faults of the system I used to eliminate these fuckin' tapes from 100 down to 1, because if I were to list these tapes in order of what I think without listening is my favorite, Hard to Earn would be way higher. Gang Starr is my favorite less-than-a-posse rap group ever, now that I've realized that EPMD only had one good album. Guru often gets misrepresented as a less-than-stellar emcee who rode the fat beat coattails of Premo to make a dollar for himself, but fuck that noise. I'd sample Guru lines more than almost any other emcee ever. If I had to think of one bad thing about Hard to Earn, being this is the internet where people who don't do shit are meant to hate things that get done, I'd say it's Melachi the Nutcracker. That dude sucks. Even on Group Home shit, that dude sucks. The fact that people even give a shit about Group Home in the slightest is a huge testament to the power of Premo and Lil Dap. Dap should've came out solo, and made a quick dollar bill name for hisself like Jeru did, riding Premo beats like some folks accuse Guru of doing. Loungin'. Mellow out and just loungin'.
