Man, this saddened me when I first heard about that. I went out tagging that day, and tagged RIP GURU quite a bit.I think it was like 5 days after he died, a head I know online mentioned it.
He was a great MC and he influenced my (And I'm sure plenty of others) art while getting up and listening to tunes.
I don;t listen to much hiphop. I listen to Punk, Goth Rock, Metal, Alternative, and pretty much anything and everything. But GangStarr has always been one of the few favourite hiphop exceptions.
