Damn, it's been 25 years. 
I remember being upset DWYCK wasnt on it.
"BYS" still bangs
"Soliloquy Of Chaos" is Preemo production at its best. And Guru's storytelling is highlighted on this song,
The beat switches on "I'm The Man"
When I saw Preemo for the first time I told him Brand Nubians "All For One" and Gangstarrs "Take It Personal" are the 2 greatest beats ever created

Skins of all colours come together as brothers
Soliloquy of Chaos is a flawless rap track.
Not my favourite album but it deserves to be celebrated no doubt.

What went on up there? Poppers and weird sex!
This is my favorite Gang Starr album after Moment of Truth. Step in the Arena was a classic, but Guru and Premier took it a step further with this one.
What I love about this album is that it feels like a short film about a day in the life of someone in New York City. The intro and "The Place Where We Dwell" get you started in the daytime, and by the time you get to "Take Two and Pass," it's like you're just hanging out at night walking around the neighborhood.
Premier took his production to another level here. Some of the beats on this album ("Soliloquy of Chaos," "No Shame in My Game," "The Illest Brother") sound like they were made yesterday. "I'm the Man" was innovative for the time, and the musical interludes add to the experience. Everything feels cohesive, like the production is telling a story throughout the album.
Guru was in top form also. A lot of people overlook him because of his voice and the fact that Premier became a bigger star, but he was a true lyricist. He never sounded out of place or sloppy. He knew how to vibe with every beat. Plus, he was talking about the government, unity, the media, his issues with hip hop at the time. He was trying to uplift listeners when he rapped.
Gang Starr already had two classic albums at this point, and the scary part was they hadn't even peaked yet.
