Here's Statik Selektah on his tribute mix(source:www.kevinnottingham.com)





"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…."
