Fat shout to Guru of Gangstarr who unfortunately passed away on Monday from Cancer, he had been previously in bad health following a publized coma earlier in March (with reports of a partial recovery early April) but the news of his death still comes as a shock.
Guru formed one half of the legendary duo "Gangstarr" along with DJ Premier on cuts/production; they dropped nothing but classic LP's through duration of the 90's, following their last full set "Ownerz" (2003) if you ignore the contract fulfilling best of "Mass Appeal" (2007); Guru went on to seek outside production releasing another 2 solo albums and followups to his "Jazzmatazz" series which fused elements of hiphop/jazz.
If you are unfamiliar with the music of Gangstarr; then its never too late!! go do some homework and hunt down the classics, I expect Cro to spin some niceness at tomorrows cypher!
Thank you for the music!
LOUISDEN SALUTE!
REST IN PEACE!
