gawd I was just thinking about this today czu I've been listening to both almost extensively. tempted to go w/ Gang Starr (cuz Guru is unfairly hated on and Premier was in his element) but it feels wrong to slight the EPMD.

I was thinking about this, unprompted, at the beach today too! steam-engine time.
Gang Starr are pretty underwhelmingly samey a LOT of the time. EPMD get a shitload of mileage out of their own limitations, and have enough variety beyond the "classic" "headnodder" track that their monotony as rappers isn't shown up as much as Guru's.
Also, Jazzamatazzzzzzzz.
