Classic '94 full length from Guru and Primo on official double vinyl. Hard To Earn was finally supposed to make Gang Starr go gold, but was once again under-publicized and half-way slept on by the general public despite the hits "Dwyck" (first time on album after 2 years of floating on B-sides with tons of club play), "Code of the Streets," and "Mass Appeal". Non-single favorites like "The Planet," "Speak Ya Clout" with Jeru The Damaja, "Now You're Mine" and "Mostly Tha Voice" make Hard to Earn the people's favorite. 17 tracks on white vinyl.
