This post has been delayed for far too long. On April 19th, 2010, Keith "Guru" Elam (pictured left) passed away. He was known for his honest and hard-hitting rhymes, delivered in his signature monotone style. Along with DJ Premier (pictured right), he made up one half of one of my favorite hip-hop groups of all-time: Gang Starr. I gave it some thought and I decided that Moment of Truth is my favorite Gang Starr album. Three of my favorite tracks off the album are: Work, Betrayal ft. Scarface and Royalty ft. K-Ci & JoJo. But honestly, their entire discography is amazing and worth a listen if you're a fan of "real" hip-hop. Also, check out DJ Premier's Guru tribute mix. R.I.P Guru.
