Some really flow and chill stuff on there.

R.I.P. to one of the best emcees ever

Always a message.

"Instead of preaching death in my songs, I breathe life."

Heaven just got a lot more street cred.

Do I even have to go on?

I haven't even begun to talk about his solo stuff yet.

 

[Bjerknes]

I've never heard a poor song by Guru.

Simply one of the best, if not the best.

 

[KB824]

This just makes me miss the way that Hip Hop used to be even more.

I'm watching "3,2,1, Pump" by Redhead Kingpin and the F.B.I. That song was my jam back in 1991

 

[Bjerknes]

If hip hop wasn't dead before, it is now.

They can't even begin to honor Guru because everything these clowns make now is nothing but a disgrace.

Imagine when Chuck D, KRS-One, and Rakim leave this earth.

We are truly fucked

 

[KB824]

I remember I wore out my cassette of Gangstarr's first album, just for "Words I Manifest"

 

[KB824]

You know what group I miss?

Stetsasonic. I loved them. I thought they were great.

The thread title got me all excited but then I opened it and now I'm depressed.

Shit, this news will mess up my brother, I like Gangstarrs work, but he is an avid nr 1 Guru fan. Told him recently Guru was ill, in coma etc. Didnt know it was this serious though. RIP :frown:

Imagine when Chuck D, KRS-One, and Rakim leave this earth.

They are truly pioneers. Although I'm not that big of a fan of pre-93 work, like Eric B. and Rakim, I can still certainly respect and appreciate it.

Boogie Down Productions put out some great stuff as well though, like this.


We be certainly fucked.

 

[Bjerknes]

Love that video too, so simple and straight to the point.

Sad day for (real) hip hop. One of the few mc's who's work I always appreciated.

Very glad I checked him out live when I had the chance a few years ago.
