- Gang Starr "Just to Get a Rep" (1991) Album: Step in the Arena. Label: Chrysalis/EMI Records. The greatest Gang Starr song of all-time is the 1991 single that definitively put the group on the hip-hop map, establishing Guru and Premier—two non-New Yorkers who'd made the pilgrimage to hip-hop's Mecca to ply their trade—as among the tightest and most distinctive musical partnerships the city would ever host.
- Gang Starr "Mass Appeal" (1994) Album: Hard to Earn. Label: Chrysalis/EMI Records. The Gang Starr musical manifesto, right here. In interviews Premier often describes his thought process behind making the "Mass Appeal" beat—that it was his attempt to use a bouncy elevator-music type melody to satirize commercial rap styles of the day.
- Gang Starr f/Nice & Smooth "DWYCK" (1994) Album: Hard to Earn. Label: Chrysalis/EMI Records. An essential party record, "DWYCK" is probably Gang Starr's single most popular track—one of those songs everybody knows every word to.
- Gang Starr "Words I Manifest (Remix)" (1989) Album: No More Mr. Nice Guy. Label: Wild Pitch/EMI Records. The first song Guru and Premier ever recorded together (after agreeing to join forces over a handshake at old LES NYC nightclub The World) is also one of their greatest: a still-stunning recording that effortlessly bridges (via its break-ification of "Bring It Up" and "A Night in Tunisia") the musical innovations of James Brown, Dizzy Gillespie, and Kool Herc in one fell swoop.
