Keith "Guru" Elam died Monday as a result of cancer-related causes, MTV reports. He was 43 years old..He was hospitalized in March, and while some outlets reported that he suffered a heart attack, it was never confirmed. Guru was a prolific artist who used Hip Hop as his medium. Conscious, Crafty, and Dangerous are used to describe his lyrical and prodution talents. Hip Hop was able to transcend the mundane booty shaking, on the corner bouncing images now seen more and more with his talents. Using jazz riffs and working with mega talents like Chaka Khan and others. If you want to know more then google him or go You Tube and learn about this man and his legacy. He was also the founder of Gang Starr which lead to opening many doors for Hip Hop artitst to work overseas to get the recognition they often did not receive in the United States as "real " artist.
Everything in this world is not free and if you want the knowledge you go to the source. Guru would have wanted it that way.
