Product description

Gang Starr's "Moment of Truth" is a seminal work in the East Coast hip-hop canon, released on March 31, 1998, under Noo Trybe Records and Virgin Records. This fifth studio album from the iconic duo spans a generous 1 hour and 18 minutes, featuring 20 tracks that encapsulate the essence of boom bap and conscious hip-hop. From the opening bars of "You Know My Steez" to the reflective closing notes of "In Memory Of...," the album is a testament to Gang Starr's lyrical prowess and DJ Premier's signature production style.

"Moment of Truth" delves into themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the complexities of fame, all wrapped in the duo's signature gritty and introspective storytelling. Standout tracks like "Above The Clouds" and "The Militia" showcase Gang Starr's ability to blend social commentary with personal narratives, while cuts like "Work" and "Robbin Hood Theory" highlight their knack for creating infectious, head-nodding beats. The album received critical acclaim, earning a 4.5 mic rating from The Source, solidifying its place in hip-hop history.

With its timeless production and thought-provoking lyrics, "Moment of Truth" remains a quintessential listen for hip-hop enthusiasts and newcomers alike. Whether you're a longtime fan of Gang Starr or discovering their work for the first time, this album offers a rich and rewarding experience that underscores the duo's enduring influence on the genre.

This is a 2023 Reissue released as a 3LP set.

  • Happy with Original Version

    5 out of 5 stars
    utbuqz_mucoNovember 24, 2025United States🇺🇸

    I was really anxious when I placed my order, thinking I might end up with the 2023 reissue. Not that there's anything wrong with that, mind you. But I got lucky and received this version instead, and I couldn't be happier! It sounds amazing and is truly a masterpiece from the legendary Premier on the wheels of steel and Guru on the mic. 🙌

    This is the 2023 repressing of the 2015 reprint. My copy sounds fantastic. No ticks, cracks or flaws.

  • Gang Starr's Hip Hop Masterpiece

    5 out of 5 stars
    idqfufibFebruary 2, 2025United States🇺🇸

    While some folks might argue that Mos Def is the voice of hip hop, for me, it's all about Gang Starr, and this album is the one that stands out. It's the epitome of hip hop, from the very first track to the last. You've got one of the finest producers and DJs ever, paired with Guru's unmistakable "king of monotone" flow, and both of them are at their absolute best. I'd easily rank Above the Clouds and Moment of Truth in my top 20 hip hop tracks, and these are just a taste of what this fantastic album has to offer.

  • Records Fit Tight, No Issues

    5 out of 5 stars

    Mine's been fine, just the records were super snug in the paper sleeve, but apart from that, no hissing or crackles.
