Before Nov 2020, grades range from 5 stars to 3.5 stars. After that, grade range is: 10 (A+), 9.5 (high A), 9 (A), 8.5 (high A-), 8 (A-), 7.5 (high B+), 7 (B+). Ungraded albums are honorable mention :-), neutral :-|, negative :-(. At least 3 listens per album. Search "Grade Post" for more info. [I shelved/sold 10,000-12,000 albums before starting this blog and will add entries for some of those as they come up. If you don't see an album, it doesn't mean I don't know it.]

Gang Starr - Step in the Arena: 3.5 stars
It's hard to parse their 1991-1994 three-album run. I'm opting for Daily Operation and then Full Clip (the collection), although Hard to Earn is a hair better than this and might even be an A minus. And I'm keeping Moment of Truth because I got into it when it came out (unlike the three album run, which somehow passed me by at the time).
