Sad Day: Guru Dies at 43

Sad day in HipHop when you wake to news that one of its founders has passed. Guru brought us classics such as Mass Appeal, You Know My Steez, and many more. A little over a month ago Guru (born Keith Elam) suffered from a heart attack and had been recovering from the surgery that ensued. Guru had been fighting in a bout with cancer for over a year, but sadly, yesterday at the ripe age of 43, our HipHop forefather lost the fight. As the bell sounds he leaves us with this letter. After reading the letter, I'm heart-broken to learn that (either someone embellished his death letter or) he died with a grudge. Life is too short people, make amends, forgive, forget, let go, Life is too fragile. Rest In Peace Keith "Guru" Elam.
