#44 RAP TAPES: Daily Operation


I call bullshit on this countdown. I don't know what I did wrong, but this ain't right. Daily Operation is, for me, one of the best rap albums ever, and it doesn't seem to get as highly touted as some later Gang Starr records. But this, to me, is Premier and Guru's best work, for each individually, as well as a pair. Shit, this record was so damned good it tricked people into thinking Jeru the Damaja was awesome, me included. There's either some really good shit still to come, or I was drunk at some point during the tape vs. tape showdowns for this to fall this low.
