I just heard that Guru, one half of the classic hip-hop group Gang Starr, was in a coma after suffering a heart attack.

Gang Starr is one of those groups that defines the genre, they are Hip-Hop music. It’s one of those groups were you struggle to pick out your favorite album, in my case either Daily Operation or Hard To Earn. Hard To Earn being the album where they had really grown as a group and reach a peaking point. Daily Operation came before it, and holds a special place in my heart because I had it on cassette and would let it play back to back in my beat up Honda.

Here’s hoping Guru recovers quickly, in the meantime I’ll leave you with one music video from each Gang Starr album.
