I was waiting for something substantial regarding this dude Solar that every hip hop blog on the planet was talking about. The vibe I got was that he was a control freak, poser, weirdo, type dude that was trying to piggyback off Guru. After reading this article on the Village Voice though I think this dude may be one of the biggest pieces of shit in the history of the music industry.
Now I think it is worth asking though why is it that Guru let this guy run his life in such a manner? I mean the dude was his manager. You can fire your manager anytime you want. So why did he let the guy work him until his health deteriorated and ultimately to his death?
Regardless, Solar played a huge role in Guru's death and will most likely end up going into hiding if he's smart.

Rest In Peace GURU
Very few groups have ever made more than one classic album. Gang Starr managed to make 4. You can argue about which ones if you want. I only messed with the main four.
At any rate I think "Moment Of Truth" is probably the most fitting given the passing of GURU yesterday.
Thanks for all the great memories and shows.

Guru Get Well
Sending this one out to the homie Gifted Unlimited Rhymes Universal.
Get well dude.
I loved Daily Operation and Hard To Earn, but I really enjoyed Moment Of Truth and this track exploded my brain when I first heard it.

And I quote:
"Broke pigeon head freak/ You lucky I spoke."
Bonus:
Try and spot the cameo by Guru of Gangstarr. WTF?
God, I love the internets.

Gangstarr

Continuing with music other then roots and dancehall. I've decided to start pulling out albums from my favorite era of hip-hop the early nineties.
Gangstarr is as good as any place as any to start with the decade.
Guru on the mic, Premiere on the beat. Pretty simple.
Get learned youngsters.
