We’re taking a break from Jazz Appreciation Month today to pay honor to hip-hop pioneer, Guru of the famed duo Gang Starr. Just yesterday, Keith Elam, better known as Guru in the music and hip-hop community passed away after an admirable fight against cancer. His stage name “Guru” was an acronym for “Gifted Unlimited Rhymes Universal”and the lesser used, “God is Universal; he is the Ruler Universal.”
While in the hospital, Guru wrote a letter to his fans, family and supporters. Click here to read the letter.
Although Guru and his partner DJ Premier were estranged the past couple of years, today we are gettin’ high off this classic from their “Moment of Truth” album.
