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.
