Slicker Than Most. R.IP. Guru


As I am sure everyone is aware Keith Elam better known as Guru passed away on 4/19/10. Gifted Unlimited Rhymes Universal, "Guru" was a wordsmith in the greatest sense, and also a cornerstone of modern day rap. I remember, I started listening to Gangstarr because I had heard they originally started in Boston. And for the longest time I told everyone this was so. By the time I had learned the truth, that the group had actually started in NYC I was able to look past my misconception and truly become a fan of Guru and everything he did. I also can clearly recall the day I listened to Guru's Jazzmatazz Vol. 1. I literally dropped my jaw after listening to it in its entirety. I could not believe live jazz and rap could run so freely together. It's a sad day just realizing that one of the most influential artists in the game is gone for good. My prayers go out to his family and friends.
R.I.P. Guru
We represent the pain that's real talk, what's y'all claim to fame? -Guru

Your RIght Boston is the Best...


Today I was listening to my iPod and Guru's "Sights in the City" came on and was followed by Termanology's "When We Were Kids". So this got me thinking of the Boston rap scene or the lack of it. I mean all we got going right now is Masspike Miles I mean what's that say because he's putting out weak tracks with Maybach Music Group. I'm not impressed, so I found this newer track with Termanology on it, and just like all the other tracks I've heard by him is impressive. Since I'm throwing this video up and labeling it Boston I might as well throw a couple other videos featuring Boston rap artists. Also if you have any Boston rap you think I should be playing send it my way.

Boston Stay Up.
