The controversial letter presented by Solaar regarding Keith Elam's passing has ignited a maelstrom of controversy regarding the vitriol for DJ Premiere.
You don't have to look further than the legacies of Tupac and Biggie to know that resting in 'peace' is almost impossible when the subjects in question are of incalculable influence.
Yes G.U.R.U. was an incredibly talented, focused, magnificent emcee; a powerful and consistent writer and bearer of tight rhymes. He was- without question an essential ingredient in Gang Starr with Primo, whom together, their musical legacy will forever speak for itself. Thank the Universe for that.
As a Teacher, I get to drop a gem on my students that makes the social study of Jazz music and it's expansion relevant and accessible: Jazz Thing, by Gangg Starr. I didn't hesitate to craft a lesson plan around this audio spectacle that will shine forever. The lyrics are cast in finery with the adjunct of DJ Premiere's instrumentalist mastercraftwork as a background.
