    I got to meet GURU in Portland, OR on the first floor of the Roseland Theatre, he was there for a show with the Roots. I called out to him when I saw him in the dining area, and he came over and asked me my name. One of the times that meeting your hero left me with no disappointments. Just wish I had a camera that day. Always my favorite rapper cuz I know more of your lyrics than any other rappers lyrics/songs.

    I met Guru around the time that the "Words I manifest" video was pumping on Video Music Box. We met at the Music Factory Record store in Times Square, NYC. Old school New Yorkers know about this spot. It was the most legendary record store at the time. He was in there with his crew and I gave him a pound and told him how I thought he looked like Malcolm X in the video. The next thing I know, he introduced me to his crew and we're walking down 42nd street just talking like we're old friends. GURU was humble and very down to earth. I'm glad I got to meet him and later see Gang Starr rip shows throughout NYC during the 90s. I got to see them perform DWYCK with Nice and Smooth and bring out MOP to tear the house down. Rest in Peace, GURU.

    Got my eyes watery. Met him on a 2008 night in September, the odd part was I was seeing a DJ Premier DJ set earlier in the month, walked around Boston in the meantime, picked up a free paper and looked thru it to see any upcoming concerts, saw an ad for "Guru's Jazzmatazz: Tribute to John Coltrane" It felt meant to be, so I felt extremely psyched.
    Shook hands with DJ premier that night...weeks later I went to Guru's show at North Eastern University. I stuck around after the show and chatted with him, told him I don't usually feel nervous but I've been a fan since the 90's. I bought his newest Jazzmatazz album directly from him.
    I said "I'm gonna feel bad if my cousin see's this because he will be jealous since he likes you too". He said "what's your cousin's name" I said "Anthony" he handed me a free extra copy of his album and said "tell him I said thanks Anthony". It was well over a decade I've wanted to meet him and it was better than what I could have imagined. Just a simple quiet night after the show and a quick conversation which showed his true character and respect towards his fans.
    When I heard he passed..I couldn't help but cry a little. I knew and felt we lost someone important, meaningful, respectful, talented, beautiful, and legendary.
    At the same time...I also knew we didn't exactly lose Guru, just his presence. His lyrics are eternal as well as his spirit. I believe he is still among us, just in another entity. When it's my time, I hope to bring with me my Moment of Truth, for him to sign it.

My family tries their hardest to help me but I'm too stubborn, so music like this and beats by Madlib, J Dilla, Dam-Funk and others literally give me a chance to breathe and forget about the evil ways society has embraced over the last decade and 1/2. The 90's were GOLDEN YEARS.
