And now, a short Afro Samurai interlude...

Guru + Common + Bob James + Fritz the Cat = Yes

Somebody shared this youTubery of the late great Guru's State of Clarity with me today. Love the Fritz the Cat animations...

Above the Clouds...

The hip hop world paused today to mourn the passing of Keith Elam, known around the world as Guru, the rhyming half of GangStarr, one of the most venerated rap duos of all time.

Guru's Statement:

"I am doing fine and I am recovering! I'm weak though. Solar is the only person who has the accurate info on my situation. Any info from anybody else is false! I appreciate your well wishes and all the love!"

so, hopefully we can consider him out of the woods and on the road to recovery from his heart attack/surgery. this calls for some youTubery:

Mass Appeal by Gang Starr

Hang in there Guru...

DWYCK by Gang Starr f/ Nice and Smooth

Guru's in a Coma?

Unfortunately, It looks like this is not a hoax... Guru of the venerable rap duo Gang Starr is in a coma, following a heart attack, according to his sister. Hip Hop DX confirmed that the veteran emcee is in critical condition. According to longtime partner DJ Premier, Guru will undergo surgery on Monday. Hopefully he will be okay. Even though Gangstarr split in 2004, Guru remains an important figure in hip hop. We want him to hang around a long time.
