I know I keep harping on this but I'm wishing Preme would here. Full Clip (1999) is my favorite album/compilation of all time. Why? I've always been a huge Gang Starr fan and I had all their albums on tape but back in the day they had several joints on movie soundtrack albums. Aside from putting all of their hits and classics together, they also threw in all of their loose soundtrack joints so Like Jazz Thing (video version) and Gotta Get Over all on a Gang Starr project was too good to be true. They also threw in 3 new songs with Discipline, Full Clip and All for the cash. It was everything a Gang Starr fan could ask for in a compilation and IMO the best HIP HOP comp ever. If I could be critical of the project, I would say that they could've added an old unreleased track or something Like Doe In Advance (japan Import) or I'm Not Superman; but that's a minor critique.
With that in mind, they came out with the Mass Appeal compilation in 2007 and it was a chance to right those (IMO) very minor wrongs of the Full Clip compilation. They could've added Battle, the movie version of Jazz Thing and maybe an unreleased track or two. We did get a DVD with all the videos so I can't complain about that.
Over all, the completest' and dare I say Gang Starr stan, in me feels like the total gang starr package could be even better... but, only if they find a way to do another "the best of" compilation. Along with some of their best cuts, their traditional top hits play the best of The Ownerz and now One of the Best Yet with until they get Battle and some left over rare or unused stuff on one last greatest hits album.
