(1998)"Hard to Earn" is the fourth album from the hip hop duo
Gang Starr . The album was released in March 1994 and featured the hit single "Mass Appeal." Though not quite as critically acclaimed as the album that preceded it, it was relatively well-received by critics and fans alike, spawning singles such as "DWYCK" and "Mass Appeal" which are widely considered to be classics. This album is said to contain some of Premier's best beats to date, such as "Mass Appeal" and "Words From The Nutcracker." Although this album contains its share of socially conscious tracks, such as "Code of the Streets" and "Tons 'O' Gunz," overall it is known to be a harder and angrier effort than the duo's three previous albums.Track listing
