Tell me about Gang Starr, ' said Nishant, in an effort to start a conversation I'd be interested in. 'One MC, one DJ...' 'Classic combo, ' Anand affirmed.' No hype man?'' No.'' What do we need Anand for?' Nishant shrugged, ever the pragmatist, never the catcher of feelings. Nikesh Shukla
About This Quote

Nishant and Anand were sitting in a small corner of the table, surrounded by fellow students. Talking about Gang Starr was all it took to turn their conversation into a deeper level of discussion. The MC, DJ and hype man. This is what makes Gang Starr such a classic blend of Hip Hop.

Nishant and Anand both understood the power of the classic Hip Hop combination of MC and DJ, but they also understood that this classic combination was never hype man-heavy. They could have easily seen Gang Starr as some kind of gimmickry. Instead, they understood that there are songs where you need Hype Man to make them work, songs where you don’t, songs where you need both, and songs where it doesn’t make any difference at all.

It was not some kind of gimmickry but something that makes Gang Starr one of the most respected Hip Hop groups in Beatport’s history.
