Aug 21, 2022This album knocks front to back. It's somewhat experimental, sounding more aggressive than GS' other projects, and the result hits hard. The duo proved themselves once again and the features don't even feel like guests with how well they read the room on this album.

BenjaminH.Sep 10, 2003I love Gangstarr, but on The Ownerz, there should be more tight tracks. There are about 5-6 really tight ones, some ok, then some were like, what?? I expected more, but all in all it is hot.

MaartenV.Aug 13, 2008This album has some very decent tracks, but not as many as i was used to find on Gang Starr albums. I'm a huge Gang Starr head and ive got all the albums, but i must say that i place this album at the bottom of my Gang Starr album pile. still, it has some OK tracks for instance Capture, Same Team No Games and Who Got Gunz, imo this album is worth an overall 7.

Premier does a solid job throughout The Ownerz, but nothing here approaches his past classics.
-
So while The Ownerz does in some ways succeed in its quest to succinctly define the foundation of basic beats and rhymes, its insistent pining for bygone days ultimately reveals itself as lackluster nostalgia.

While it's not as immediately user-friendly as the group's early jazz-rap infusions, this album still bubbles with head-nodding boombox pleasures.
