Pray that Version 7.0: The Street Scriptures not be the final music we ever hear from Guru
Not because it's horrible music per se (although it's not a patch on even the worst Gangstarr album), but because this wasn't exactly the post I had in mind when I got the email last week from PR firm, Yo! Promotions announcing that Guru's Version 7.0: The Street Scriptures album was to be given away for free for a limited time period.
What was to be bonanza of free music has turned into a Get Well Soon, Guru post after learning of the disturbing recent turn of events. As I said over at Miss Info's, "Get well soon, Guru. We need you in the game and its FAR too early for you to leave us. I was just playing The Ownerz album the other day. A highly underrated album in the great Gangstarr catalog…." Despite their differences, I was hoping Preme and Guru would reunite at some point and give us at least one more dose of that 'real' hip hop (you know what I mean by that) we've come to expect from this acclaimed duo.
