Last year note from DJ Premier himself:
I judge my list based on dope beats, dope rhymes, scratchin’ and cutting, creativity, uniqueness, originality, and overall packaging of the product’s integrity. I don’t care if you sold a million copies, that does not make it dope. I went through more than 60 LP’s released in ’09 on major and indie labels over and over to get it as close as i possible could to being satisfied with the list so here it is along with the list.

One love from me gim straight from Europe and I can’t thank y’all enough for the support, and maybe we’ll survive till 2012. Nothing is sure in this world, appreciate any minute you have and please try to spend some minutes to think about the minor. Lets go!!
EDIT: This is not an official remix, but a blend with a never released DJ Premier beat (and never released/rare acapella). This is a beat made for Kanye West’s album “Dark Twisted Fantasy”, but left over by Kanye because he changed the style of his album. Also Bun B had the beat after “Let ‘Em Know” was produced, but he never worked on it. Source: DJ Premier himself.
2010: The Year That Changed The Status of Gang Starr
As we are all waiting to celebrate 2011 I want you all to stand still one more time this year, that we lost a great person in 2010 that moved so many people in different ways. A final RIP to Guru. 2010 will always be remembered for Guru. Love. 2011 here we come…
