RIP GURU
Only 43, one of the true hip hop heavyweights, glad he is at peace.

He basically got me into hip-hop music, what a bummer.
That Solar letter seems like some shady shit.Remind me. We'll send him a red cap and a Speedo.

Ya. Dont see how a dude can write a letter while in a coma. and I dont see someone with as much class as guru dissing premier, who he came up with, on his death bed. Originally Posted by bagtagley

Super shady.
Moment of truth the album might be one of the finest hip hop albums ever. Moment of truth the song is one of my favorite songs ever. RIP Guru.

I'm actually featured on MoT (check the liner notes) and had the pleasure of interviewing Guru a number of times over the years (first time was way back in 1987).
At any rate, I thought Guru had come out of the hospital a few weeks ago and was back in action. Sad to hear that he moved on.
As for albums? Step In The Arena is their masterpiece and easily one of the greatest albums of all time regardless of genre. But that's just my tweaked perspective on the matter.

One of my all time favorites.. was wondering why there were a couple fb posts by people of guru all of a sudden.

www.point6.com
formerly an ambassador for a few others, but the ski industry is... interesting.
Fukt: a very small amount of snow.

In the four years I was associated with the Oriental Theater in Denver, one of the most memorable nights was when Guru stuck around after his totally killer show to hang out with us. He was charming, humble, funny and gracious. The music world has lost a good one. RIP brother.

Wow, that is too bad. I loved his work.
Education must be the answer, we've tried ignorance and it doesn't work!

I do not promote violence, but after reading all this stuff about Solar, what is the likelyhood that this guy is going to get a severe beatdown? or end up dead?

Now I'ma start collectin props, connectin plots
networkin like a conference, cause the nonsense is yet to stop
Jakes shake me down, haters wanna take me down
Break me down, CLAP all they heard was the sound
Yo I scoped it out, I took your weak dream and choked it out
Your bitch don't really got no ass, she just poked it out
on the deelow, I'm sayin, you versus me though?
We can do this shit right here, in front of your people
See time is money kid, and BS walks
And to me, it's funny kid when you meatheads talk
I see Feds stalk, they wanna dig up the dirt
Son is it me they hawk, cause I be puttin in work Son?
RIP to one of hip hop's finest.
