Just over a month since undergoing surgery following a heart attack, Gang Starr Mc Guru (born Keith Elam) has died at age 43. According to a statement, Guru died of cancer-related causes on Monday after a long fight with the disease.

Guru's longtime collaborator and partner Solar mourns his loss in the statement and explains that Guru had written a letter to his fans that was to be released upon his death.

"The world has lost one of the best MCs and hip-hop icons of all-time — my loyal best friend, partner, and brother, Guru," Solar said. "Guru has been battling cancer for well over a year and has lost his battle! This is a matter that Guru wanted private until he could beat it, »

Sorry to hear that. The guy made some great Jazz/HipHop fusion.

One of the greatest MC's that ever lived, one half of the group Gang Starr. I am very saddened by this news. He wanted to keep the fact that he had cancer a secret, he was confident that he would beat it, but unfortunately he lost the battle.

If you guys like Hip-Hop even a little bit, you owe it to yourself to listen to his music, he was a genius.

R.I.P. Guru

I thought this was about a different Guru. One who should be 6 feet under the ____ing ground.

 

[OSCORP]

Never heard of him

RIP Master Guru. Very sad. One of the best underground-type lyricalist in the music business.

was watching one of my skateboard videos and his song came on. Loved his lyrics ever since.

"Don't you know my steed?"

HELLO -- his verse on the 'Dwyck' with pioneers Nice and Smooth.

I hung out with Guru, Jeru Da Damaja and Das EFX back in the day. I used to love right next door to MOP.
