HBD Guru! 🎉🎉🎉 Keith Edward Elam better known by his stage name Guru (Gifted Unlimited Rhymes Universal), was an American rapper, producer, and actor. He was a member of the hip-hop duo Gang Starr, along with DJ Premier. He was born in Roxbury, Boston. Elam began his music career under the pseudonym MC Keithy E but later changed his name to Guru. He founded Gang Starr in 1987. The group initially released three records, produced by The 45 King, on the Wild Pitch Records record label, but these records received little attention. After a change in line-up, the group consisted of rapper Guru and beat maker DJ Premier. Gang Starr released its first LP No More Mr. Nice Guy on Wild Pitch Records; the group achieved a sizable following and released six critically acclaimed and influential albums from 1989 to 2003. Two albums, Moment of Truth (1998) and compilation Full Clip: A Decade of Gang Starr (1999) were certified gold in the United States by the RIAA. Gang Starr made archetypal East Coast hip hop with Guru's rhyming described as sharp-eyed but anti-ostentatious. #hiphop #classichiphop #hiphopculture #vinyl #vinylcollection #goldenera #dope #realhiphop #lyricist #dj #djs #deejay #hiphopshirts #shirts #diggininthecrates #rap #music #beatmakers #producers #stacksrundeep #stacksunltd #Guru #RIPGuru #GiftedUnlimitedRhymesUniversal #Gangstarr
