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.You Played Yourself
I'm not dissin' but you shoulda stayed missing. Everybody in the club get tipsy. Nobody in the club remember your name. Damn shame.

No way!
Print media is dead… No ad rev, info to slow who’s next??
Rest in piss.
very sad times. i pray that danyel smith will be able to move on to something bigger and better. at least she has yn in her life. this powercouple will make it through these tough times. they will serve as an inspiration to us all. love is the message and the answer. and rest in peace mj!!!! what a terrible time
Oh well… another shitty mag goes down the tubes. I guess Dany will be blogging on RapRadar now…
Black Web 2.0 Just did an audio interview with Vibe’s Danyel Smith, and interestingly enough she argued that print wasn’t dead, it was just “challenged”. Were those young whipper snappers at Black Web 2.0 right? You be the judge. http://bit.ly/5xbSf
Vibe was the corniest, most watered down uninformed magazine out their. No one cared about their reviews or stories, and that issue with the top 50 blogs was like a eulogy. Seriously think about print media praising new media. Good Bye. I guess Rap Radar has 5 or 10 more new “guest bloggers”
A great magazine, lead by a great woman, is lost. Mainstream America needed this magazine. It provided a bridge between the “inside” and the rest of us. Those on the inside of the community are going to feel the pinch… in more ways than one.
r.i.p. vibe, sad they didn’t get to do a Michael jackson tribute issue.
