33 years ago today, Gang Starr release their 3rd LP, Daily Operation, on Chrysalis Records. lyrically, musically, and visually, Daily Operation is one of the more culturally rich hip-hop records ever. Preem’s production is a tribute to multiple decades of black music, and Guru is in top form. “Take it Personal” stands alone as possibly one of the five songs that define the signature sound of the group with an impeccable catalog, 33 years later it still stands as one of the best examples of top-tier lyricism over flawless production. like the rest of their work, Daily Operation raised the bar artistically upon its release in the spring of 1992, inspiring heightened cultural awareness and somehow making it all look easy, like just another day in the office for hip-hop’s greatest MC/DJ combo. an absolute perfect record and my personal favorite from their (brilliant) discography. listen to it today, and bask in its glory.
