Gang Starr were one of the realest and purest hip hop groups that there was. They never diluted their sound or compromised for anyone. you always knew that they were going to bring that real hip hop sound. Guru was an MC of balance. Totally at ease with the hood and the street side of things, He was equally the teacher, Dropping gems of wisodm, waxing about jazz and teaching the youth to stay clear of drama. Guru was originally from Boston and Premier from Texas. Together they made Brooklyn home and created a sound that was so representative of New York.
I first heard Gang Starr on 411 videos in the mid 90's No Shame in my Game was featured in a section and i was hooked instantly. We grew up on Gang Starr, We skated, partied, and chilled to this music and im having a hard time thinking that Guru is gone and there will never be another Gang Starr album.
First up is Premier's Tribute and he sets a few things straight about the circumstances surrounding Guru's passing.
