Default RIP Guru

It's been announced that rapper Guru, one-half of Gang Starr, passed away on Monday, succumbing to cancer at age 43.

Big loss.

There's already drama popping up around letters, benefactors, etc- but I'ma leave that be for now......

RIP Guru.

Sad news

Guru was an old school rap master; we should thank him and Premier in Gang Starr for defining good early-90s hip-hop.

I'll remember Guru as a pure Chump Executioner..

**** man that is crappy news. I've been listening to Moment of Truth and Hard to Earn religiously for the past ten years, it was crazy how a laid back voiced rapper can get me amped. Hard to Earn, best album ever.
