R.I.P. Keith Elam (aka GURU) July 17, 1966 - April 19, 2010

On Monday, April 19th the world lost a true Hip-Hop legend. Keith Elam, better known as Guru, passed away on April 19th 2010 following a heart attack and coma as well as a lengthy battle with cancer. Guru made a name for himself by delivering deep, smooth lyrics with his monotone style that was one of the most instantly recognizable in Hip-Hop. Longtime Hip-Hop fans will remember the string of classic albums released by Guru and DJ Premier as Gang Starr and the subsequent Jazzmatazz series that Guru embarked on. There is no way to do justice to the accomplishments of a legend in one post, but here it goes. Gifted Unlimited Rhymes Universal, R.I.P.
