You’ve probably heard about legendary Gang Starr emcee Guru’s recent cardiac arrest and subsequent coma and sadly we have no new information to offer. Bottom line is that this is a truly awful blow to Hip-Hop and we at the Passion are all keeping Guru in our hearts and minds and wishing him a speedy recovery. I won’t bore you with a long-winded synopsis of the man’s career, if you don’t know the story, start here and then cop the catalog. To briefly put his impact in perspective however, Guru picked up where Rakim left off and his cool calculated flow and jazzman demeanor can be felt in every emcee to ever put a premium on restraint over energy from mush mouthed stoners to hyper-lyrical battle-rappers. Oft overshadowed by his equally legendary DJ, Baby Pa was a dope producer on the low as well and this cut with Lil Dap is a perfect example of the East Coast boom-bap vibe he exemplified. Get well soon my man.
