Who are you and what have you done with Guru? Seriously, we go from the emotional rollercoaster ride of thinkin' we're gonna lose one of the game's greatest MCs to some sick pathetic soap opera involving a man of no blood or kin relation denying family members the right to see their loved one. Now yes Keith Elam may not wanna reconcile with folks he hasn't been on good terms with for the past seven years but that's his decision not yours. From the outside lookin' in, you seem really shady. And if Guru's nephew claim is true that you signed documents as Keith Elam's brother and your wife as his sister than that's just plain alarming. An abuse of power. Releasing statements to websites and official Twitter accounts in Guru's name when he doesn't appear to be able to speak on his own behalf is also misleading and completely wrong. Be clear: At this point the only thing relevant and important is the status of Guru's health. Nobody gives a fuck about you or 7 Grand. Guru's legacy is Gang Starr. DJ Premier and Guru made classics. You and Guru make crap. And you should get slapped for meddling in family business.
I'm not dissin' but you shoulda stayed missing. Everybody in the club get tipsy. Nobody in the club remember your name. Damn shame.Steve Rifkind Says Asher Roth Album Will Change Hip-Hop

The man who signed the Wu and Mobb Deep, declares that his new artist Asher Roth’s Asleep In The Bread Aisle will bear the Loud logo and will enter an elite class: The Top 5 Albums That Have Changed Hip-Hop. Whoa! Although he wouldn’t say it in the video, I have good authority that these are Rifkind’s other four picks:
N.W.A Straight Outta Compton
Public Enemy It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back
Wu-Tang Clan Enter The Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers
Eminem The Marshall Mathers LP
Where’s does all this put Deeper Than Rap (which still hasn’t leaked. Ugh!)?
4-20, y’all.
Wow, it’s almost as if Run DMC’s first 3 albums never happened.
I like Asher roth, but his style isnt h
Given his criteria, Run DMC (Any of the 1st 3 LP’s could be acceptable), Beastie Boys “Licensed To Ill”, Eric B. & Rakim “Paid In Full”, Vanilla Ice “To The Extreme”, MC Hammer “Please Hammer Don’t Hurt ‘Em”, Dr. Dre’s “The Chronic Album” and Notorious B.I.G, “Ready To Die” all deserve mention as well for forever changing the direction, business and industry of Rap/Hip Hop forever with each subsequent release. I don’t see “Asleep In The Bread Aisle” having anywhere near the impact of ANY of these aforementioned projects, good or bad. Sorry, Steve!
One.
[...] and we were expecting him to really make an impact until Rick Ross spanked him on SoundScan. Shit, Steve Rifkind had a spot on his wall ready for the platinum plaque. So why didn’t this project work? You [...]
