Yesterday weren't it?

Big fan of Gangstarr.

CHG

Yeah, heard that on 6 music yesterday, tragic, really liked his stuff, he was more popular in England than the US, big shame, big loss to the industry.

Leroy Ambrose

Yeah - it was yesterday. I was only listening to the first Gangstarr album last week. Brutal to go at that age

Cancer - myeloma I believe.

Some of the albums he had a hand in were awesome - the first Jeru album and the first two Afu-Ra albums in particular.

Nasty not funny.

Agree with all that you have said mate Afu-Ra albums were some of my favorites of all time. Well we will all have to pour liquor out tonight on the sidewalks.

Moment of Truth

What a shame - he was very talented. I loved Gang Starr (one of the best acts of that era) and have about six of their albums if I remember rightly. Moment of Truth was my favourite - it is truly superb and I have bought it for others as a present before.

RIP Guru
