R.I.P. Keith Elam aka GURU from Gang Starr

I know it's not EDM related at all, but for those of us who remember back in the day when Hip-Hop was Hip-Hop, we will be saddened by this. Guru lost his battle to cancer at the age of 47.
Here's his verse from DWYCK:

"I chant eenie meenie, minie moe
I wreck da mic like a pimp pimps hoes
Here's how it goes I am a genius I mean this
I shake this you'll take this
I'm kinda fiendish
You wish that you could come into my neighborhood
Meaning my mental state
Still I'm 5 foot 8
Crazy as I wanna be
Cause I make it orderly
You could say I'm sorta da boss so get lost
The brotha dat will make you change opinions
Dominions I'm in them when it's time to kick shit from
The heart, plus I get a piece of the action
I'm feelin satisfaction from the street crowd reaction
Chumps pull guns when they feel afraid, too late
When they dip in the kick they get sprayed
Lemonade was a popular drink and in still is
I get more props den stunts den Bruce Willis
A poet like Langston Hughes and can't lose when I cruise
Out on the expressway
Leavin the Bodega I say "suave"
Premier's got more beats den barns got hay
Clips are inserted into my gun
So I can take the money, neva have ta run"

Gangstarr has got to be the sure shot!

When I did listen to hip-hop he was def a skilled artist that I respected.

RIP Guru, a tru hip hop legend and not just another talentless ass clown, and one of the few hip hop groups/artists that i can still appreciate to this day.

Myself lord and master
shall bring disaster to evil factors
demonic chapters shall be captured
by kings
Through the storms of days after
and to the earth from the sun
through triple darkness to blast ya
with a force that cant be compared
to any fire power
for its mind power shared
the brainwave causes vessels to circulate
like constellations reflect at night
off the lake
word to the father and mother earth
seeking everlasting life through this hell
for what its worth
look listen and observe
and watch another sea cycle
pullin my peeps to the curb
heed the words
its like ghetto style proverbs
the righteous man sacrifice
to get what they deserve
cannot afford to be confined to a cell
brainwaves swell
turning a desert to a well
experience the best teacher
thoughts will spring like streetsweepers
little daddy street preacher
illustrious feature
narrator you select
accompanied by Deck plus the DJ you respect
seven and a half combined
over the frontline
the ten percenters
promotin slander in the air time
bear in mind
jewels be the tools of the trade
sharp blades heavenly praise
and dues are paid

- Guru, Above The Clouds

RIP
