Guru från Gang Starr har lämnat oss

Nyligen twittrade DJ Premier om sin döda kollega som legat på sjukhus den senaste tiden. Guru var medlem i en av 90-talets största hiphopgrupper Gang Starr från sent 80-tal in på 00-talet. Det var kanske inte helt oväntat eftersom Guru har sett väldigt risig ut under flera år. Men det är alltid sorgligt när legender lämnar hiphopen. R.I.P. säger vi på whoa.nu och pumpar Gang Starr hela dagen lång.

Yo! Raps has exclusively learned from hit producer Solar that Hip-Hop legend and GangStarr founder Guru has passed away yesterday morning (April 19) after a long battle with cancer.

According to Solar, Guru suffered from the malicious illness for over a year and after numerous special treatments under the supervision of medical specialists failed, the legendary MC succumbed to the disease. Guru always tried to keep this harrowing diagnosis in private but in early 2010 he had to admit himself to hospital due to serious effects caused by the disease.

Since the onset of illness, Guru tried to live a ”normal” life as an influential and outstanding musician, loving father, family man, and best friend. Doctors encouraged Guru to think positive that the cancer can be arrested and that a full recovery is possible but several special treatments including hard hitting chemotherapies failed.

While in hospital with terminal cancer, Guru wrote a letter, which was provided by Solar, to his fans addressing his illness, his shining music career, his family and loved ones.
