Statik Selektah mixes a tribute in memory of Keith “GURU” Elam legendary MC of Gangstarr, on his show on Shade45. Peace to Statik and our man Shake! R.I.P. GURU
i know alot of DJs have been doing Guru tributes… which is dope, but this is 2 hours of music… from 1988, thru his history including Jazzmattazz Vol 1-3, to the end of the Gangstarr days. I covered what i feel was truly Gurus greatest work. this includes unreleased music, the b-sides, remixes, etc. i also had Big Shug, Doo-Wop, Freddie Foxx, Consequence, and Chubby Chub call in and leave some Guru Memories. he was an icon to me, as well as a friend, and i definitely wouldn’t be who i am without the presence of Gangstarr’s music in my life growing up.

This is some bullshit! I don’t believe anything that comes out of his mouth, I’d love to see him w/o glasses I bet he’s blinking and scrambling in his head like crazy during this interview…. Dude is suspect. Sway is the truth keep digging man we need Jack Bauer in there to get the real info. This is 5 parts long and plays all the way through so stick with it… he talks about good times between Guru and Family along with Premier and says it didnt get weird till FEB YEA NO SHIT CUZ YOURE KEPING HIM FROM SEEING HIS FAMILY!!! YOURE A CREEP IT DIDNT EXIST UNTIL GURU WAS OUT OF COMMISION AKA WHEN YOU TOOK OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So if he was in coma and shit got weird and shit got tense between him and Premo why and the F would have this statement written months in advance talking shit about Premier and how can one continue to honor Guru’s music and Gang Starrs music to not include DJ Premier? So cancer involving his hands he said took out his lungs? If I was Guru’s friend and the only person in the world who knew he was sick I think I’d try to talk to him and reconcile with his family as a friend id be giving that advice not just being like a dog and wagging my head yes and forgetting about it. Can we interview some band members?

DJ Premier is a class dude.
IT WAS A SAD DAY FOR ME TO GET CONFIRMATION ON THE DEATH OF A MAN WHO I WILL CONTINUE TO CALL MY BROTHER, KEITH ELAM, BETTER KNOWN AS GURU OF THE LEGENDARY GANG STARR.
FROM 1988-2004, WE EXPERIENCED SO MUCH SUCCESS TOGETHER THAT WE WERE ABLE TO EXPAND OUR BUSINESSES INDEPENDENTLY AND GIVE EACH OTHER WHAT GURU CALLED “CREATIVE SPACE”, BEFORE PLANNING TO REUNITE FOR OUR 7TH LP WHEN THE TIME WAS RIGHT. TRAGICALLY, WE WILL NEVER REACH THAT DAY.
I’VE BEEN ASKED TO COMMENT ON A LETTER SPEAKING ILL OF ME WHICH WAS SUPPOSEDLY WRITTEN BY GURU IN HIS DYING DAYS. ALL I WILL SAY ABOUT IT IS THAT OUR TIME TOGETHER WAS BEAUTIFUL, WE BUILT A HIP HOP LEGACY TOGETHER, AND NO ONE CAN RE-WRITE HISTORY OR TAKE AWAY MY LOVE FOR HIM. ONE THING I WOULD NEVER DO IS PLAY AROUND WITH THE TRUTH ABOUT HIS LIFE.
I WILL CELEBRATE GURU’S LIFE… I WILL HONOR HIS MEMORY… I WILL GRIEVE WITH THE ELAM FAMILY OVER HIS UNTIMELY DEATH… I WILL REMEMBER THE GANG STARR FOUNDATION AND ALL OF THE ORIGINAL MEMBERS OF GANG STARR WHO CAME BEFORE ME – WE ALL KNOW EACH OTHER… MOSTLY, I WILL CHERISH EVERYTHING WE CREATED TOGETHER AS GANG STARR, FOREVER. I’M GONNA MISS HEARING HIS SIGNATURE MONOTONE VOICE WHEN HE WALKS IN THE ROOM, BUT THE SONGS WILL ALWAYS BRING IT BACK TO ME….HIS RHYME FLOWS WERE INSANE, AND I WILL NEVER REMOVE HIM FROM MY HEART AND SOUL…….REST IN PEACE TO THE MAN WHO FELT “SATISFACTION FROM THE STREET CROWD REACTION” … I LOVE YOU GOO…….DJ PREMIER
