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.Michael Eric Dyson Pens Book On Nas

Looks like Michael Eric Dyson wrote an unauthorized biography of Nasir. Available December 28th, here’s a description courtesy of amazon.com
The best and brightest writers of the hip-hop generation reflect upon the era’s landmark album: Nas’s Illmatic. From the moment then nineteen-year-old Nasir “Nas” Jones began recording tracks for his debut album the hip-hop world was forever changed. Released in 1994, Illmatic, was hailed as a masterpiece and is one of the most influential albums in hip-hop history. In Born to Use Mics, Michael Eric Dyson and Sohail Daulatzai have brought together the brightest minds to reflect upon and engage one of the most incisive sets of songs ever laid down on wax.
Heads Up: DJ RT
Given to much hyperbole. Rather see Nelson George tackle this one.
peace to michael eric dyson for putting this together. some of the work our culture’s most innovative writers have put together took poetry and literary writing styles into uncharted territory.
…might i add, with no intense study of the western canon of “legends” like shakespeare, twain, t.s. elliot, etc…and with no college education, just natural ability a unique perspective and an attentive eye, Nas and others otta be in that same tradition.
but fuck it and fuck america’s non-recognition, we’ll hold it down ourselves, for our own tradition and our own rich history. byatch. tips hat*
Is that an image of a mic emanating from Nasir’s smoke?
