![]() After the surprising success of their fifth album, Moment Of Truth (their highest-selling effort), Gang Starr found themselves in the unfortunate position of having to repeat themselves. Side note: anybody that truly thinks that Guru created the Gang Starr Foundation by himself can go fuck themselves.Īnyway. I also feel that I can now actually pay attention to the final joint effort from Guru and DJ Premier, The Ownerz, within the proper context, without immediately falling all over myself with praise for one of the finest duos hip hop has ever seen. Now, I could get into a pointed diatribe against his so-called "best friend", Solar, and how that cocksucker manipulated one of the most expressive monotone voices our genre has ever heard, but I choose instead to revisit a period of time that will never exist again: the Gang Starr era. On April 19, 2010, Keith Elam, best known to hip hop followers as the rapper Guru, passed away.
