I got to meet GURU in Portland, OR on the first floor of the Roseland Theatre, he was there for a show with the Roots. I called out to him when I saw him in the dining area, and he came over and asked me my name. One of the times that meeting your hero left me with no disappointments. Just wish I had a camera that day. Always my favorite rapper cuz I know more of your lyrics than any other rappers lyrics/songs.
Finally a good tribute to this super influential MC. I'm surprised how little he was mentioned after he died. He deserves more.
that is very true brother!
@@ManoYo maybe that's the way it meant to be, always stay offstream, some get the budgeted "tributes", that were made only for money, like Bieggie had, and some get 600 000 views on yt after 6 years from release
Go listen to the Guru tribute by *Group Home.* It's called *G.U.R.U.*
So true! Only idiots are getting pushed towards the sky... good people stay unknown... what a shitty world...
The mind is a terrible thing to waste, i show love cuz its a terrible thing to hate"-GURU🥺😢🙏 #RESTINPOWER
Got my eyes watery. Met him on a 2008 night in September, the odd part was I was seeing a DJ Premier DJ set earlier in the month, walked around Boston in the meantime, picked up a free paper and looked thru it to see any upcoming concerts, saw an ad for "Guru's Jazzmatazz: Tribute to John Coltrane" It felt meant to be, so I felt extremely psyched.
Shook hands with DJ premier that night...weeks later I went to Guru's show at North Eastern University. I stuck around after the show and chatted with him, told him I don't usually feel nervous but I've been a fan since the 90's. I bought his newest Jazzmatazz album directly from him.
I said "I'm gonna feel bad if my cousin see's this because he will be jealous since he likes you too". He said "what's your cousin's name" I said "Anthony" he handed me a free extra copy of his album and said "tell him I said thanks Anthony". It was well over a decade I've wanted to meet him and it was better than what I could have imagined. Just a simple quiet night after the show and a quick conversation which showed his true character and respect towards his fans.
When I heard he passed..I couldn't help but cry a little. I knew and felt we lost someone important, meaningful, respectful, talented, beautiful, and legendary.
At the same time...I also knew we didn't exactly lose Guru, just his presence. His lyrics are eternal as well as his spirit. I believe he is still among us, just in another entity. When it's my time, I hope to bring with me my Moment of Truth, for him to sign it.
That's awesome bro(no sarcasm)
Woaw ... Rip Guru :(
Great story, thanks for sharing. RIP GURU
I've always felt like GURU was our older brother. RIP GURU.
That's kinda how I imagine GURU's behaving.. He will never die , his texts are timeless and once ur into his music ,you're absorbed by his lyrical skills and meaning. R.I.P GURU you will be always the best for me !

Shout out 2 Bahamadia! RIP Guru & thank u Talib Kweli 4 the joint! It's GOOD AF!
Great Tribute
I met Guru around the time that the "Words I manifest" video was pumping on Video Music Box. We met at the Music Factory Record store in Times Square, NYC. Old school New Yorkers know about this spot. It was the most legendary record store at the time. He was in there with his crew and I gave him a pound and told him how I thought he looked like Malcolm X in the video. The next thing I know, he introduced me to his crew and we're walking down 42nd street just talking like we're old friends. GURU was humble and very down to earth. I'm glad I got to meet him and later see Gang Starr rip shows throughout NYC during the 90s. I got to see them perform DWYCK with Nice and Smooth and bring out MOP to tear the house down. Rest in Peace, GURU.
Probably among Talib's best tracks.
xS3NTRYx Prolly 'cause he used Guru's words ^^
Word up! ☝🏽
I don't like him that much but he did this beat justice
RIP GURU , Peace to Premo ,Talib, Maco Polo respect from Romania #gurulegacy
Rest In Peace Keithy E. 14 years since you left us. The greatest MC with flows, lyricism and knowledge unmatched by any before or since. GURU and Preem forever. Criminally underrated but never forgotten. I’ll be bumping some Gang Starr from now to infinity
Gurus my favorite rapper, he was the best aura in hip-hop. Ong. And best rapper with the most heart.
GangStarr's songs, that song, the interview at the end, tears
He always wuz on the higher level than others. One of the best yet...and forever.. Props from Russia, peace.
Are you sick?
Damn, this joint touched me like music hasn't in awhile. Hearing GURU's voice over a premier track is like mother's milk feeding the soul
Guru fan 4 life! R.I.P simply one of the best next to 2pac!
Guru 4 evaaaaaaa
that's real hip hop right there.
I remember Bahamadia told me once, when she was rollin' around with Guru that he rolled up on this wack MC and said, "You cannot test the lyrical manifestations of the Guru."
We miss you more than ever G.U.R.U.!! you are the realest of the real! RIP
I'm only 15 and i never had a chance to grow up with oldschool,but I gotta say that when I heard GURU for the first time I got dependent to Oldschool
OMG we almost have the same story, I heard Gang Starr when I was 6 years old, and I got addicted to Gang Starr ever since, even though I didn't know English back then since English is not my native.
One love brother
Rest in Peace Dilla

When the "Just to get a rep" voice sample came through, not gonna lie, got goose bumps!

Much respect! I miss the homie GURU we had so many good times when he would visit Houston along with Premier. Those were the days........

You forgot Masta Ace

you forgot so many more bro, but i know it's hard to remember all of em. Should check out a playlist i got for ya.
NO CANIBUS?
It makes me happy that even as an 18 year old in this day and age, I'm still able to find music by these masterclass artists of a different era. They aren't gone, their spirit lives on in their lyrics. Aslong as people remember them and people are moving to their music, they'll be infinite.

I met Guru with Premier in 05 in Washington DC, after talking to him and I spit a verse he put on the show that night!!!!!! And I blazed with him and Built after the show and he gave me info to his label at the time.... #RestInPowerGuru
MAAAAAAAAD RESPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECT
RIP GURU
Respect from the UK.
R.I.P. G
Sometimes I feel like cats like GURU know me better than my own friends. I feel like I'm alone in this World with so much stress on my mind built up over time I can barely comprehend anything anymore. My family tries their hardest to help me but I'm too stubborn, so music like this and beats by Madlib, J Dilla, Dam-Funk and others literally give me a chance to breathe and forget about the evil ways society has embraced over the last decade and 1/2. The 90's were GOLDEN YEARS.
than you need to listen "moment of truth" ;)
Stay up man
Yep and things got so much worse.
Hope you're good man.
Omg I feel the same, one love brother you can do this!

Esencja hip hopu. Pozdro z Polski. ELO EMA
Guru speaking some real facts at the end there..its the truth. .R.I.P to one of the Greats respect from Vancouver Canada
Completely. It's frustrating because everything he said was on point but this is the first generation (our fault) that never dug in the crates nor looked back to the history.
GURU IS REALLY A REAL LEGEND SHOUT OUT TO TALIB KWELI
It's so dope. So true..
Rest in peace. Respect from Russia.
Gangstarr
THUMBS UP Fo' Guru
RIP
His presence may be gone in real life but he stays in our minds. I'm born in '95 and last times I wished I was born earlier so I could live the 90's at the age of now (19), the 90's when Hip Hop began to be more influented to the society. But it's the way it is... .And I hope that Hip Hop will still be listen and understood by the next generation. GURU in my eyes, I see you like a hero!
Best tribute for best MC
This is how Hip Hop culture should have been marketed the whole time. It's all about productions and marketing. But Guru said it the best at the end of this video. Much knowledge and respects.
Grandissima traccia in memoria di un grandissimo Uomo pioniere di questa musica. Resta In Pace Guru ✌ Big up from Rome!!! 💪😎
Prophetic words at the end ...RIP Guru 🙏🏾
prze kozacki kawałek r.i.p. guru . polska
Met Guru in Colorado Springs back in '95 outside of the venue before he was going on. Got my cap signed by one of the greatest MC's we've been blessed with in this lifetime. Big up's Guru - your memory lives on with us as you continue your new journey through life. Keep Heaven ready for us. See you when we get there.
13 años de su muerte... Descansa en paz GURU!
Guru for life
Not only one of the best hip hop songs ever but the most touching tribute to a legend in the scene... RIP guru
