The rap world is mourning news that groundbreaking rapper and Gang Starr co-founder Guru has died of cancer. He was 43.
Guru, born Keith Elam, died Monday after a year-long battle with the disease. The rapper had suffered a heart attack on Feb. 28 then slipped into a coma.
Guru became famous after teaming up with DJ Premier in group Gang Starr in 1985. The duo released six studio albums between 1989 and 2003 and became famous for making "conscious rap" before splitting under acrimonious circumstances.
Since then Guru had released a series of "Jazzmataz" albums where he teamed up with classic jazz, soul and hip hop artists.
Thanks GURU for all the Good Music. RIP SON !!!!
