I hear you bro. my favorite hip hop album ever. .. wish him and premier would have stuck together though. I wasn't really into the stuff with solar. .. premier did a good job with the new album from lost tracks though
got so much love and respect for everybody here who recognizes what Guru was. He was a highly formative part of my late teens and early twenties and god only knows where I could have ended up if I hadn't been listening to his poetry. We should all try to remember his words more often.
Hey I bumped into Guru in Trinidad W.I some years ago for the Carnival. He had a great personality and brilliant mind. He spoke the truth. His family has roots in Trinidad. Also I know he was going thru some changes in life from our deep conversations.
I had the chance to met him and krs one, exchanging few words, took a picture and signed me a jazzmatazz cap, 2007 in London at the Jazzcafé... Rip Legend!
Did you hear what he said about a connection when something is original? But once the money and the industry get involved everything gets duplicated and those who were original aren't original anymore knowledge.
I'm russian and don't listen to hip-hop that much, and surpisingly I grew up listening to Guru. His rhymes are universal and dj premier's music transcend the genres. It's the kind of music that connects people independelty of their origin and music preferences.
Pleasure meeting Guru/Keith Elam Twice. My fav' Rapper since 89 'Just to Get A Rep'. 1st Time Met Him Was On W 8th St NYC, In A Store Called Bees, or Something. Me & My Boys Were Playing Hooky From School. He Gave Us All Pound, but Gave Us A Lecture About Staying In school. He cared about his fans. 2nd was in a barbershop in Brklyn, I Was With My Boy & Gave Him Hi-5. He Wasn't Cocky, Spoke to anyone. Unlike Other Rappers. My boy would constantly see him in same barber shop. - I mis him. He gave knowledge to people, Wanted His fans To Be Better. Lectures in his songs. - Laters Solar Admitted He Wrote Some Of The Letter After His Death. Solar Even Took 1 of Gurus Homes & Sold It After His Death. U can Google this. There were 5 Percenters & Latin Kings looking for Solar. Don't know How He Still Around. Rip Guru 🙏😪
MY MOST RESPECTED ARTIST AND LYRICIST IN THE GAME I WISH I WOULD OF MET HIM ALSO JUST TO SIT DOWN AND BUILD WITH THE BROTHER,,,,,I TRULY MISS AND STILL LISTEN TO HIS WORKS ESPECIALLY WITH PREMO,,,,,,DAM SIP RIP GURU
Grow up in the 80s and 90s bronx New York and you will understand the struggle the way we did.., guru was gifted , thank you for your message Gang Starr .....
Was fortunate enough to meet this brother and chill With him and pick his brain And his energy was dope And his love for the art He is truelly Miss and his legacy will live on 4eva #BallheadSlick🕊
Bless Up GURU, One Of The Most Underrated Lyricist, Blessed To Have Been Witness To His Teachings. Extremely Motivational, Inspirational, Positive, Conscious, All That... This Cat Innovated The Whole Real Hip Hop Scene. Forever Relevant, Big Up, Bless Up, Hotep.
If I could go back in time and find a way to meet guru, I would, I was never a huge fan of gang starr, but these past few months its all I've been listening to, I absolutely love guru and gang starr as a whole, it brought tears to my eyes when I saw how rough guru's finals days were, rest easy guru, and fuk you solar
one of the greatest songs ever recorded. this shit got me through so many tough times.. shit is truely a incredible and one in a million song. We miss u every day GURU!. peace Brother Premier, peace Brother GURU, peace be with you both always. Anyway yeah this track is beyond incredible I been bumping since a kid
"I do not wish my ex-DJ to have anything to do with my name likeness, events tributes etc. connected in any way to my situation including any use of my name or circumstance for any reason and I have instructed my lawyers to enforce this. I had nothing to do with him in life for over seven years and want nothing to do with him in death. Solar has my life story and is well informed on my family situation, as well as the real reason for separating from my ex-DJ." I don't believe Guru wrote the statement above. I believe Solar wrote it.
I've always felt that in its purest form hip hop is a spiritual form of music. Guru is one of the greatest exemplars of the spiritual heart of hip hop. Unfortunately it seems that true form of hip hop is dying or nearly dead. Wack rap has won. Its all about ego and materialism now, and it's become more and more brainless, lazy and dead. It's sad honestly.
WAIT a minute at about five minutes in the video, the 'Just to Get a Rep' jam sounds unfamiliar yet fresh. From the DJ cuttin to fresh rhymes?! #neverheard
Moment of TRUTH changed and saved my life
los jones same here brother. RIP YOUNG GOD
Crazy album
Word!! Hard to earn was a college course for me
I hear you bro. my favorite hip hop album ever. .. wish him and premier would have stuck together though. I wasn't really into the stuff with solar. .. premier did a good job with the new album from lost tracks though

Guru was a distinguished artist, I love how he brought faith, the streets, and originality to his raps. He lifted up women too! Much respect, RIP.

Agreed not many come close

You guys remember Guru's jazzmatazz solo albums? Insanely underrated.
First three jazzmatazz albums hella underrated
True indeed
I found those recently vol 2 is one of the illest albums ever ngl
Insanely!

The best to ever done it. Guru was a popular lyricist and he still is he got more rhymes then the illist. Rip in peace the God of rap.
Said in the 90s and basically it's here today
It's sad.. when you see this, you're like "Damn, it's so obvious why he was killed.". Just like Tupac, Bob Marley, Bruce Lee etc.
Just stop it.
Why
Because they had a (Message)?
He wasn’t killed..
One of a kind his lyric left me gobsmacked and his message was deep may he R.I.P
That comment is some real ish! I felt that!
Was fortunate enough to meet this brother and chill

GURU is not underrated. No one ever says that. He is legend.
@@senecanicholson1090 he put music over game anyone that's listened to him knows he's great
Knowledge is POWER and I thank GURU for sharing the TRUTH!!! REST IN POWER!!!!
Loved the interview. GURU is truly missed, he was a huge loss for Hip Hop.
Guru and Prodigy the true legends, huge losses for hip hop music
@@silvinho87 both was too real for the game no lie
The best of the lot , brought him over to London England.
Rest in power and peace.
Gives me goosebumps knowing he’s not here anymore. Wish I was a bit older and was able to experience gangstarr in their prime.
Guru and Premier changed hip hop.
Guru is legend, Personally, my favorite MC.

R I P Guru, Gang Starr for life…
You notice one face that wasn't present in this video and his name wasn't and would never be uttered out Guru's mouth.
"But my hands are all messed up, so you better drive brotha"
Didnt know he did the voice
REST IN POWER LEGEND!

David Jr I heard that too, I didn't hear that verse before, which is really surprising.
There's two versions of "Just To Get A Rep".
The album version has 2 verses.
The video version has 3 verses.
sample on the hook is from Nice and Smooth hip hop junkies..me myself i like to max stick up kid just out to tax...
*GURU aka Keithy E.M.C. and Kool Keith look like they could be brothers.*
R.i.P
Aiiiiiiight Chill ..........
RIP, brotha
