Just received the sad news that the Guru has died. Keith Elam, master rapper and lyricist for Gang Starr, was a true original and an outspoken, intelligent guy. Everyone even remotely interested in quality HipHop should at least own Gang Starr´s Step In The Arena, Daily Operation and Hard To Earn, and the first volume of Guru´s Jazzmatazz series. Here´s a track from each.
Gang Starr - Who´s Gonna Take The Weight? MP3
Gang Starr - No Shame In My Game MP3
Gang Star - Code Of The Streets MP3
Guru - Take A Look (At Yourself) MP3
