R.I.P | Guru

WTF?! Should I just turn the blog into an obituary?

I have a deep love for music. All kinds. All genres (for the most part). I don't discriminate. If I sense something unique, genuine or real I tend to gravitate to it. That goes for rap music as well. A lot of it I don't like, but every so often something comes along with a deeper message embedded in the rhymes, something with substance that goes beyond bragging about meaningless material things. Guru had this gift. Back in the day I went through a phase that heavily involved Gang Starr. This track in particular I listened to many times. It seems quite fitting today.

R.I.P.

Really promising band I've been into lately, HTRK. The heart of their sound, bassist Sean Stewart, took his own life a few weeks ago. This is sadly becoming a common thing amongst some great musicians lately. I guess we will never truly know why.
