Amidst a backdrop of jealousy, loyalty, betrayal, and gossip one of the great pioneers of hip-hop passed into the next journey on April 19th. Keith Elam aka Guru aka Gifted Unlimited Rhymes Universal and DJ Premier made the music duo Gangstarr; they blessed the industry, and more importantly the culture, of rap music with groundbreaking music that pioneered the fusion of jazz and hip-hop starting in '93 with Jazzmatazz. Guru's music and influence will live on, but the he will be missed. Rest in peace.
