The wunderbar Blu aka my other three-letter favorite rapper dropped this video, an explanation about the title of his upcoming album. I'm in France so with the time difference I got it off a German blog. Yes it's experimental...that's what's dope, RIP Guru, shouts to Planet Asia, No York... a state of mind, rappers... I guess, barber shops, support interesting artists. But no one can say where the beat comes from, that's what I'd really like to know.

Yeah! Guru was having lots of fun on this track. This song has that Jazz appeal that makes you either want to dance or just relax. Thanks Guru for making Hip-Hop an enjoyable experience.

RIP

RIP Guru, Mc Solaar * Le Bien, Le Mal * 1993 (The Good, The Bad)
Posted by M Boogie on Apr 20, 2010

Please install the latest Flash player.

For years this track has been listed in France as one of the greatest (and the earliest) transantlantic collab: MC Solaar (the real one) and GURU Jazzmatazz! Here with Fab 5 Freddy. RIP Guru. Incidentally (or maybe not so incidentally) this video was directed by my friend J. Kevin Swain.

Questlove just brought up on Twitter an earlier 1991 remix by Guru with a Miles Davis flip of on one of my fave Solaar's tracks Qui Seme le Vent Recolte le Tempo. Check it out.
