Statik Selektah – Shade45 Guru Tribute Mix



Still a shock and a on going conversation amongst fans.

RIP GURU and all the time I hated cause he repped NY.

But its Beantown all day.

this is the mix i did on my weekly "Showoff Radio" show, live last night on Shade 45 which plays every thursday.


i know alot of DJs have been doing Guru tributes... which is dope, but this is 2 hours of music... from 1988, thru his history including Jazzmattazz Vol 1-3, to the end of the Gangstarr days. I covered what i feel was truly Gurus greatest work.

this includes unreleased music, the b-sides, remixes, etc.

i also had Big Shug, Doo-Wop, Freddie Foxx, Consequence, and Chubby Chub call in and leave some Guru Memories....

he was an icon to me, as well as a friend, and i definitely wouldn't be who i am without the presence of Gangstarr's music in my life growing up.

Shout out to the Gangstarr/Year Round crew for always being real people as well.... through the trials and tribulations.

Rest In Peace G....
