hahaha dude tried to act like he knew but fucked up you just had to post yo 2 cents in dj premier made the beats guru laid the rap skillz

Guru WAS a producer. Obviously you fuck faces never heard of the Jazzmatazz albums. It easily sounded like dude was mistaking him for Premier, but get your facts straight before you start to clown.
sdfsdf August 16th, 2010 at 08:44 PM
damn he did do jazzmatazz. but seriously to go on proclaiming about his producing skills when his raps were primary and clearly undeniable. he rapped on jazzmatazz so i still think dude is just fronting by just pointing out production n not rap

RIP Guru I still remember a few weeks after his dead I went to a Masta Ace concert and Ace did a shout out to Guru. Everyone Cheered for Guru.

I always say that HipHopDX is the best Rap site online, and you can tell from this list. These blogs have no idea who Apache was, and these magazines don't give a fuck about Ras Kass... but DX gets it all, covers it all... and still covers the mainstream bullshit too. They got at Shyne hard in that caption though, ha.

"However, in the MOMENT OF TRUTH, hip-hop lost one of its trademark voices and true jazz messengers, after releasing a dozen albums within 20 years of MANIFESTing wisdom." Nice touch.
