Full Clip: A Decade of Gang Starr is the first compilation album by American hip hop duo Gang Starr. Released by Virgin Records,[3] the album consists of more than 30 songs recorded between 1989 and 1999. The compilation earned positive reviews from critics and was certified Gold by the RIAA on August 19, 1999, and Silver by the BPI on February 12, 2016.[6][7]
Full Clip: A Decade of Gang Starr is primarily composed of material from the group's first five studio albums, with one song from No More Mr. Nice Guy, three from Step in the Arena, five from Daily Operation, six from Hard to Earn, and six from Moment of Truth. The compilation also features four songs previously released on singles, four previously released on soundtracks, and four brand new tracks (an album intro and the songs "Full Clip", "Discipline", and "All 4 tha Ca$h"). The Japanese release includes two additional songs taken from Step in the Arena and Daily Operation.
Critical reception
In a contemporary review for The Village Voice, music critic Robert Christgau called Full Clip an ideal compilation album that makes the duo's music seem less formalistic and more diverse: "It's a credit to the duo's constancy that the result plays like a single release."[3]
