I met him in the UK, it was really weird. He came to the Gass club but dude was literally on his own. He chilled for a while then left. I think he was doing a concert and was on a random night off. Very humble dude
Back in 2000 I was a doorman at a hotel in SF...He was doing a show in Oakland(jazzmataz album). I pulled him off to the side and gave him a fat nugg that i had stashed in my locker and he was like cool my guy how much i owe you? Of course i'm like, dude that one's on me...immediatley he calls for his guy to go grab me a guru T-shirt and that guy came back with a shirt and concert tix for the next night.. The show was amazing and 20 years later I still have that T-shirt. Love to GURU Rest in Power!!
I had the privilege to meet the late Guru in the early 2000's at The Jazz Cafe in London. He was a really cool, humble guy and had time to chat. I said 'You're a Legend Guru!' He replied 'Thank you my Brother' and hugged me. - Guru/DJ Premier - Gang Starr = 100% REAL HIP HOP 🔥
I had the great pleasure to have the whole crew (-premier) in the club after a gig in Stuttgart in the 90s. Played instrumentals back to back with a London DJ. All my mates missed it because they went home after the gig! Guru and the MCs all free styling, passing the mic around. Best night of my life!❤

In the end, all that really matters is that you know these timeless tracks and they’re in your repertoire. And possibly, one day - if it’s meant to be- you’ll share these songs with your family or friends, and these excellent songs like Souls of Mischief- 93 Til Infinity or 3 6 Mafia - Da Summa will get passed down onto yet another generation

Guru is still so underrated. I have to admit, I underrated his lyrical message and style since I was more into KRS1 style and LL, so I slept on this one. Thank goodness his music is still available today. I'm able to make up for lost time. 😊
Premier is a hip hop national treasure & Guru's unorthodox delivery was so unique! True Hip Hop! I miss this time period so bad! RIP GURU / BIG L rest in peace
I'll never forget, how hard it was to get the album in Germany back in '99! As i finally found it, it cost about 60.00 DM (which was 2,5 times more than other albums, cause it was an import) so i went home totally broke, but with a big, stupid smile on my face and Guru on my ears... now 24 years later the track and the whole album didn't get any older! Thanks Guru and R.I.P.

Simplicity always stands the test of time. That beat will always sound crisp no matter how many times I hear it. Today's hip hop beats are too busy, too current, too washed out, they'll keep you interested for a while and in a few months you're like I can't believe I thought that shit was fire
Quintessential hiphop! This is hiphop in it's purest form, DJ + MC, both on top of their game. We'll never see this again, I can tell you this...RIP Guru
Gang Star were top of the top in skills, talent and creativity. To me this is pure, essential hip-hop. One of the best DJ-Emcee pairings ever, Premier and Guru! Often poorly duplicated but never, ever imitated...RIP Guru!
