def one of the top mc's of all time.  RIP GURU!  i'm pretty sure that letter going around that people say he wrote before he passed got to be BS.  i'm sure primo will be dropping some stuff in honor of him sometime soon.

another legend..

IT WAS A SAD DAY FOR ME TO GET CONFIRMATION ON THE DEATH OF A MAN WHO I WILL CONTINUE TO CALL MY BROTHER, KEITH ELAM, BETTER KNOWN AS GURU OF THE LEGENDARY GANG STARR.

FROM 1988-2004, WE EXPERIENCED SO MUCH SUCCESS TOGETHER THAT WE WERE ABLE TO EXPAND OUR BUSINESSES INDEPENDENTLY AND GIVE EACH OTHER WHAT GURU CALLED “CREATIVE SPACE”, BEFORE PLANNING TO REUNITE FOR OUR 7TH LP WHEN THE TIME WAS RIGHT.  TRAGICALLY, WE WILL NEVER REACH THAT DAY.

I’VE BEEN ASKED TO COMMENT ON A LETTER SPEAKING ILL OF ME WHICH WAS SUPPOSEDLY WRITTEN BY GURU IN HIS DYING DAYS.  ALL I WILL SAY ABOUT IT IS THAT OUR TIME TOGETHER WAS BEAUTIFUL, WE BUILT A HIP HOP LEGACY TOGETHER, AND NO ONE CAN RE-WRITE HISTORY OR TAKE AWAY MY LOVE FOR HIM.  ONE THING I WOULD NEVER DO IS PLAY AROUND WITH THE TRUTH ABOUT HIS LIFE.

I  WILL CELEBRATE GURU’S LIFE… I WILL HONOR HIS MEMORY… I WILL GRIEVE WITH THE ELAM FAMILY OVER HIS UNTIMELY DEATH… I WILL REMEMBER THE GANG STARR FOUNDATION AND ALL OF THE ORIGINAL MEMBERS OF GANG STARR WHO CAME BEFORE ME – WE ALL KNOW EACH OTHER… MOSTLY, I WILL CHERISH EVERYTHING WE CREATED TOGETHER AS GANG STARR, FOREVER.  I’M GONNA MISS HEARING HIS SIGNATURE MONOTONE VOICE WHEN HE WALKS IN THE ROOM, BUT THE SONGS WILL ALWAYS BRING IT BACK TO ME….HIS RHYME FLOWS WERE INSANE, AND I WILL NEVER REMOVE HIM FROM MY HEART AND SOUL…….REST IN PEACE TO THE MAN WHO FELT “SATISFACTION FROM THE STREET CROWD REACTION” … I LOVE YOU GOO…….DJ PREMIER

-F**** SAD!!! [URL=http://smiliesftw.com][IMG]http://smiliesftw.com/x/tear.gif[/IMG][/URL]

I've been celebrating his the legend for the past 2days straight now but to here these words from Premier breaks my heart that it's real......

R.I.P. to one of the legendary MCs that embodied what GOOD hip-hop is. We will never forget GURU and his legacy he left behind.  

I do hope that in the end, all the negativity that surrounded him gets dealt with. 

RIP Keith "Guru" Elam

decade of hits that will last forever.. aint that the truth!!  RIP...

Wow I heard about this but never confirmed it. Oddly enough for the past year my favorite shirt is a shirt i found from Lemar & Dauley . Name of the shirt is "lemonade was a popular drink . In the front it simply has a cup of lemonade with the phrase and umbrella in it. the back is a collage of guru and premier and it says" and it still is." RIP.
