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.
2 months is not a real bid…jeez!
No mention of Slick Rick?!? WTF? He should be #2 and he’s not even ‘honorably mentioned’ I expect that kind of glaring omission from a non hip-hop journalist. “You let the streets down Angela! Apologize to yo fans!”
Like Jordan said where the F is Slick Rick?
John Forte and Mysone should be on there if Tony Yayo qualifies.
and
Prodigy’s prime was long, long, before he went upstate.
what about sigel????
Turk (Cash Money/Hot Boyz)
Drama (Left Right Left dude from Atl.)
Twisted Black out of Dallas
C-Bo
Tray Dee (The EastSidaz Snoop’s group)
Chi Ali (LOL)
I’m out!
props to any nigga or bitch who survive the concrete jungle
Its sad how these rappers have the world at their feet and they fuck it up to be what they rhymes are about. Murders and killers drug dealers…come on selling drugs insnt what it used to be in the alpo days. Nicky barnes and such. Remy is in Bedford Hills C.F westchester County Harris RD across from Taconic C.F. she stays in her cell sleeping most of the time if she’s not sleeping she’s having a visit from papoose most likely or her little son. Max B has 3 centuries worth of hard time and its sad that his a** will most likely be on meds because he’s so used to doing drugs he’s gonna withdrawl. Meanwhile upcoming rappers can’t even get signed or have the same oportunities cuz they don’t have a buzz or don’t have unsolicited material. Its bullshit.
