Do you know who DJ Premier is? (made beats for Nas, Jay-Z, Royce, Mos Def, Big L, Biggie, Redman, Ghostface Killah, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, Immortal Technique, KRS-One, MOP) probably one of the best producers of our time. If you know him, you should really know who Guru is. Guru was the rapper in, Premier was the producer, they were the duo known as Gang Starr.

Personally I'm not a massive fan of Guru (although I respect his talent) but I'm genuinely surprised someone so versed in the Hip Hop culture/industry doesn't know who Guru/Gang Starr is.

I know/heard of Gang Starr but the name Guru just didn't pop out at me, sorry.

Yes I do know Primo

I was going to say, it's not that uncommon.

I knew of Gang Starr way before I knew dude's name was Guru.

I'm voting for my favorite, not what I think the "best" is, so I went Aceyalone. I feel bad now, though, seeing as 9th wonder hasn't received a single vote. All that brilliance on those little brother albums and not one vote. For shame.

@djchameleon- no one likes Guru. Everyone claims to, but only as a procatalepsis. Like, "Oh yeah dude, Guru's a legend. Gangstarr. I respect it. It's not my personal favorite though. He kind of bores me."
Also, you'll get more shit right now for not having heard of his name because he recently died and was all over the news.
