Review title: Influential
Product review: Step in the Arena sounds like it should have been released at the beginning of the so-called 'Golden-Era', rather than near the very end, in 1991. But what's wrong with nostalgia? This LP is every bit as influential as early Eric B. & Rakim material. Guru was more topical than most, inspiring everyone from Nas, to Biggie to Big L. DJ Premier's stripped down beats, and vocal samples as hooks, made the Boom-Bap sound of mid-nineties NY hip-hop what it turned out to be. That said, this one is strictly for hip-hop junkies. The Gang Starr-uninitiated might want to listen to Moment of Truth first: a less important historically but highly revered, and more accessible album.
