It ain't the same without PRIMO

Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2005

Verified Purchase

People are really hating on this album, but it's really not THAT bad. Yes, half the tracks are whack, but the other half are not bad. I think what really causes people pain (to include myself) is that PRIMO is nowhere to be seen. It's so hard to picture the two working seperately. Even when PRIMO works with EMCEES with superior rhyme skills to that of Guru, it still doesn't sound the same. PRIMO and GURU belong together.

Also: What the heck is GURU doing talking that gangsta' sh**? Since when is PRIMO a gangsta'? I remember PREMIER (PRIMO) saying that he always told GURU that he should live whatever it is he puts in his lyrics, which might explain why GURU was never a gangsta' when he was with PRIMO but now all of a sudden is a gangsta'. (Also notice that PRIMO never produces tracks for people who spit that gangsta' nonsense.)

More Proof Guru is Nothing without Premier

Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2005

Verified Purchase

The title really says it all. Guru has yet to produce a quality album without Premier's assistance. There's a good reason. Guru is one of the most dull, deadpan rappers in the game. With the right beat,anybody can sound okay. But when Guru has to carry a track with his vocals he never manages to do the job.

Previous reviews are biased!

Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2006

First, lets get to the facts! There seems to be allot of bias on the reviews of Guru & Solars Street Scriptures due to the fact that its not produced by DJ Premier. Gang Starr was one of the best Hiphop groups in the history of the genre, but Guru and Premier are not a group anymore and as hard as it is to grasp that for some fans, people need to let that go and judge this LP with an open mind (which is not happening here).

Most of these reviews seem intentionally malicious, with no other basis then to smear Guru's good name and degrade Solar because he's not Primo. For reference, please see that there are no reviews bashing Big Shug's "Who's Hard" LP, when it has failed to generate the type of good reviews Street Scriptures has received from mainstream magazines. So where is all of the negativity stemming from--one would have to assume from pro Premier fans! Let the facts show that Street Scriptures has sold almost 100K copies, while Big Shug's LP has sold a sparse 3K.

Now, lets get into some facts; "Cave In" does not use the "White Lines" sample and "Surviving the Game" does not use a Beatles sample; please consider that no one has the audacity to use an "uncleared" Beatles sample, its the equivalent of writing a blank check---most music industry types know that its virtually impossible to clear a Beatles sample (see Talib Kweli & John Legend's "Lonely People," which Kweli was unable to use due to the Beatles track from which it was lifted) and for those that choose to move forward with uncleared Beatles sample, they run the risk of having the project shut down and having lawsuits filed (see Dangermouse's Grey Album). If your going to state things, at least have them be correct.

Should Guru be criticized for moving on and employing a producer (Solar)he obviously vibes with now (and one who is born and breed in NYC)? Guru has a new sound and is moving on into new directions, should he be judged so harshly and biased for doing so? All of this negativity is coming from pro-Premier fans who are attempting to slander Guru, Solar and there new label.

All good things come to an end at some point (Gang Starr), but that does not diminish the legacy. Hopefully, Premier's fans will respect that and cease the defamation campaign that's so easily visible here with these reviews.

Premier is a legend, Guru is a legend and Solar is one in the making---just let the music speak for itself and try to listen with an unbiased ear.

Slipped under the radar

Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2010

This was an incredible album that slipped under the radar! While it does not compares to Gang Starr's best work, this compares to Gang Starr's "Step in the Arena" as far as the feel of the album.

Guru at his Finest

Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2005

Another outstanding album from the best in hip-hop. Guru is the most intelligent rapper today, and will be for some time. His inventive beats and creative lyrics prove that everyone else in the rap world needs to step up their game! He continues to impress and inspire. Everyone needs to hear this album!

Auch ohne DJ Premier kanns gehen

Reviewed in Germany on September 9, 2005

Verified Purchase

Wer kennt sie? -die hochgepitchten Vocalsamples, die so ein wenig nach Entenhausen klingen, und von allen möglichen Quellen gesamplet werden. Eine der oft verwendeten Formen der neuen Rap-Ära. Man kann darüber streiten, ob es schön ist, wie hier Guns`n Roses Lieder in Wortfetzen zu teilen um damit ein "Baby dont crie" ein paar Oktaven höher auf die Reise zu
schicken. Wichtig ist sicher das Endprodukt, welches hier auf den Albumnamen "Street Scriptures" betitelt wurde. Guru - Hip Hop Vertreter der ersten Stunden begibt sich hier zum ersten Mal ohne seinen Homie DJ Premier aus der Formation GANG STARR auf die Reise nach neuem Material.
Unterstützt wird er von SOLAR an den Beats, der wie oben erwähnt auf mehreren Tracks diese hochgepitchten Samples einsetzt.
Die Tatsache, daß ich dabei unweigerlich an die guten alten Guns`n Roses Zeiten erinnert werde, gut arrangierte Songs höre, die dem New Yorker gut zu Gesicht stehen, und eigentlich heutzutage jeder samplet oder covert, macht die Diskussion für meinen Teil zu einer guten Sache. Vor allem wenn
sich ein Veteran wie Guru nach jahrelangen erfolgreichen Alben in gleicher Soundschematik in Neuland wagt und damit gewinnt.
Nebenbei gibts dann aber auch typisch knallharte Rap-Banger um die Ohren wie auf "Step in the Arena Part2" oder "Hall of Fame". Weiters am Mic finden sich Kollegen wie B-Real von Cypress Hill, Talib Kweli, Styles P oder Jean Grae. An eine der Gang Starr LPs kommts nicht ganz ran, fairerweise muß aber auch gesagt sein, daß durch die unterschiedlichen Styles ein Vergleich
falsch wäre. Interessante CD auf jeden Fall, mit keiner Nullnummer und nur einigen Songs am Durchschnitt. Der Mut als alter Hase neues zu wagen ist Guru auf jeden Fall gelungen...
