    Seems like all the editions of "Militia" part three have a lot of distortion on the snares and throughout Freddie Foxxx's verse. Prove me wrong.

      So perhaps the final (at the time of writing) Gang Starr album is not the crown jewel in their incredible discography. But it still runs laps around most hip-hop albums released around the same time. The Owners is definitely top 5 from 2003. Guru and Premier still had awesome chemistry, go on and name a better duo, I’ll wait...

      My fav tracks are “Put Up Or Shut Up”, “Rite Where U Stand”, “Who Got Gunz”, “PLAYTAWIN”, “Zonin’” and “Skills”. The short but dope “Werdz From The Ghetto Child” with Smiley on the mic also deserves a mention.
