DJ Premier has issued his official statement on the death of former rap partner Guru. Both men release six influential albums as Gangstarr. “It was a sad day for me to get confirmation on the death of man who I will continue to call my brother, Keith Elam, better known as Guru of the legendary Gangstarr. From 1988-2004, we experienced so much success together that we were able to expand our business independently and give each other what Guru called ‘creative space,’ before planning to reunite for our 7th LP when the time was right. Tragically, we will never reach that day.” DJ Premier also addressed an alleged letter Guru wrote prior to his passing, which slighted the legendary producer. “I’ve been asked to comment on a letter speaking ill of me which was supposedly written by Guru in his dying days. All I will say about it is that our time together was beautiful, we built a Hip Hop legacy together, and no one can re-write history or take away my love for him. One thing I would never do is play around with the truth about his life.”
