43 years old. Hard to believe that Guru was able to get as much done for hip hop (and, let's be fair, for the popularization of jazz among Gen-X-and-younger African-Americans) as he did in such a short life.
Embedding on this blog doesn't work all that well. Here's a video of "Mass Appeal", my favorite Gang Starr track (or, well, one of the two or three dozen of my favorite Gang Starr tracks - I might have picked a totally different one if I'd posted this tomorrow). Click it and thrill to the man's voice. His rhymes were always good, but it was his voice that he'll be remembered for most.
RIP
