On their best songs, Guru and Premier combine with a unique chemistry that's been the secret behind their decade-spanning works.... [T]he pair feed on each other's strengths, creating new classics for the coming millennium.... The album creates a paradox: On one hand Moment of Truth is far from the group's best (or even second best) effort. Yet, it's also one of the more important hip-hop albums to have dropped in the last year. The truism that resolves this contradiction is that Gang Starr remains one of the last honest hip-hop groups.
Product Description
Unlike many of their current peers who construct love poems to designer labels, rapper Guru and deejay Premier still stick to no-nonsense, gritty rhymes and to the hip-hop basics: voice and turntable.... [Moment of Truth] may enjoy the chart success that has eluded [Gang Starr].

Album Description
MOMENT OF TRUTH is a giant leap forward in his career. Capturing all the power and energy of his legendary live performances, the new CD is the most guitar-driven, aggressive studio recording he has ever made. His vocals reach new heights of soulfulness and expressiveness; his guitar playing is ferocious and relentless, but when the mood calls for it, gentle and moving. But what really sets the album apart is the depth of Ellis' songwriting. The material deals in matters both personal and universal and runs the gamut of human emotions. MOMENT OF TRUTH is Ellis' most wide-ranging and inspired recording.Customer Reviews:

JUST DID NOT DO IT FOR ME.......2007-03-01
Above the Clouds.......2007-02-23
Modern-day classic........2006-11-30
Within that time, Guru went virtually unnoticed, while DJ Premier built up his reputation with work on albums by the likes of Nas, Jeru The Damaja, Notorious B.I.G., and Jay-Z. He was acknowledged as one of the finest producers in the game, and everyone, underground and mainstream, wanted some Primo beats on their album. For good reason; I honestly can't acknowledge a single beat Primo's laced that has been, by any means, wack. He's not just consistent behind the boards, he's magnificent, and for the people that don't recognize Primo as one of hip-hop's finest beatsmiths, they quite honestly don't know a lot about hip-hop.
However, with Primo becoming such a high-profile producer, one had to question if he'd left Guru, and his Gang Starr roots behind him; well, Gang Starr returned in 1998, releasing arguably their finest album to date, Moment of Truth. Their sound had effortlessly evolved from golden-age pioneers, to modern-day hip-hop messiahs; at this point in time, they were both identified as two of the most influential figures in hip-hop's illustrious history. This album, Moment of Truth, only solidified their status further, and even pushed it a few notches above where they already were.
Guru's lyrics are still razor-sharp, and even if you dislike the King of Monotone's visceral flow, his words are sure to penetrate your mind, and keep you listening. Guru's mellow delivery is the perfect compliment to Primo's elegant beats, and together, the duo creates an album that, while shifting between dozens of moods, and concepts, is as cohesive as anything that's come before, or after it. There's twenty tracks on this album, and I can say without hesitation that each track is gold; something I don't believe I've ever been able to say about an album with such an exceedingly long track-list. There isn't a single misstep taken by either Guru or Primo, and no track overshadows the next, or falls below the standard set by the previous track; this is not just consistently dope, but as flawless as a hip-hop album can essentially be.
Guest appearances are brilliant, coming from the likes of the Wu-Tang's verbal assailant, Inspectah Deck, the rowdy MOP, the angriest emcee since Ice Cube, Freddy Foxx, or the Houston don, Scarface; each guest delivers a verse alongside Guru, and the chemistry, amazingly, is there on each track. Introspective cuts, such as "Moment Of Truth" and "Betrayal" make up a good majority of the album, while the rest is dedicated to lesser emcees who wanna step to Guru; however, Guru is able to switch up the topics so seamlessly that they never grow tedious.
This album may've come out in the Shiny Suit era, but Gang Starr, as expected, didn't confirm to these ridiculous mainstream standards; they just kept doing their thing, and that's why Gang Starr has remained one of the most influential groups in hip-hop's history, and seminal albums like this continue to drop from them. Pick it up, because it doesn't get any iller.
Gang Starr On Top Of Their Game (Rating: 10 out of 10- -5 stars).......2006-11-08
To start with Guru. He really stepped his lyrics up from the "Jazzmatazz II" album as well as from the "Hard To Earn" album, and it shows in songs like the well known "You Know My Steez", and the title track "Moment Of Truth" realizing the truth behind many things going on in life. Some people don't like Guru, because of his monotone voice. Personally, I have no problem with that, because his voice fits well into the production of this album. An example of what I'm saying is on the song "Robin Hood Theory".
As for DJ Premier (Primo), what can I say? He's a genius. His beats are always on point.He always knows to use the correct drums and the correct drum pattern. "B.I Vs. Friendship" and "The Militia" are sone of those beats that he has been known for making. "Work" and "Loyality" is some of those beats that I'm feeling right now.
Guestwise never fails also. Many guest appearances are from the Gangstarr Foundation ('98). M.O.P. comes in and drops some rememerable verses on the track "B.I. Vs. Friendship". Feddie Foxx and Big Shug hook up with them for the song "The Militia". Krumbsnatcha comes in for the song "Make 'Em Pay". And I have to say that each guest artist brings their A game on this album, unlike those albums that could have been classics, but some of the guests came off wack. You will not find this here.
Well to some people it's a classic. To me there is one minor flaw on this album, and that is the out of place song "Next Time" towards the end of the album. It's not a bad track, but to me it just seems out of place (it's put between two mellow sounding tracks). Other than that I give Guru and Primo what they deserved on this album. If you want to hear Gang Starr at their peak, then I highly recommend that you snatch this one up. This duo has always came with some good music, but this album proved that are one of the greatest hip hop acts in the game. 20 tracks on this album, for a cheap price is one you cannot deny. Word.

Favorite Tracks: You Kow My Steez, Robin Hood Theory, Work, Royality, JFK 2 LAX, Itz A Set Up, Moment Of Truth, B.I. Vs. Friendship, The Militia, My Advice To You, Make 'Em Pay, Betrayal,Rest In Peace.
P.S.- Somebody had a Listamania list (I can't remember who) that said on "Make 'Em Pay" that Krumbsnatcha said "Give a F like Pizza Hut/I gotta stay Noidid" that the Noid was a Domino's mascot and not Pizza Hut...thats a good call there.
Best album ever ! real underground hip hop !!.......2006-09-28
