Gang Starr – Moment Of Truth (Rest In Peace Guru 1966-2010)
Legendary Boston Rapper Keith Elam aka Guru died of cancer Monday (April 19,2010). He was 43 years old. Guru leaves behind a wonderful musical legacy with his group Gang Starr as well as his solo career with the Jazzmatazz albums. The King Of Monotone didn't need to use tricky wordplay to get his point across on the mic. His no nonsense delivery was one of a kind. The world misses you Guru, Rest In Peace ***UPDATE*** Wednesday April 21, 2010 Guru's Family Issues Statement. Please Read Below The Elam family wishes to thank the fans of our son/brother/father uncle/nephew/cousin Keith aka GURU for the outpouring of love, concern and support. Our hearts are broken by the loss of someone we loved so much. GURU was devoted to his young son, who will most keenly feel his absence. GURU suffered from multiple myeloma for over a year. Accrued complications from this illness led to respiratory failure and cardiac arrest. As a result, GURU was in a coma from mid February until his death and never regained consciousness. Early on the morning of April 19th, he became hypertensive due to low blood pressure. He again went into cardiac arrest and slipped away from us. GURU died far too young but he was, and we are, proud of all his many legendary musical contributions. The family is not aware of any foundations established by GURU. We know and understand that countless fans want to express their condolences and love and, to that end, we are planning a memorial event in the near future ...

@thedexterbros correction, MOST black people give black people a bad name. when the majority act like subhuman degenrates , that is how they can be classified. you can thank white civilisation for being able to tame the lesser minority of blacks that know how to behave. this nigger is just one mopre nigger dead. now we just need to get rid of the rest.

This album should have got 5 mics. It is classic. If you lived it you loved it. “What do you wanna be when you grow up” Deep.

Guru is good for people who are having problems thinking straight, makes u think about your own life and how you can get past the minor shit to reach a goal.

@1TheHomieSleepy3 look you,i hate niggers because i know they threaten to destroy the entire fabric of all white mans good efforts. this is with out a doubt the absolute truth. i dont mind Mexicans unless they jump our borders illiegally. i have a mexican in my band in fact. i do hate all who allow rap to go on living regardless of race. now i cant go to niggers in the street and tell them i hate them. they are way to violent. primitive savages living among the civil. they dont deserve air.

Straight life is dope. Today’s stuff is not rap.
Early hip hop deserves a revival.
These ‘txt stressin’, autotuned, playground dressin’ so-called pimps too busy cakin’ their mindles hoes…can’t see the long folly of woes…
Today’s hip hop needs a revelation?
Thanks to the record labels and radio stations!!!!!
