Peace and blessings fam!
Welcome to my Vinyl Vybz with DJ HasH (Guru Tribute)! I know there are several Guru tributes out there, and rightfully so. Guru deserves ALL the accolades. However, I wouldn’t feel comfortable calling myself a DJ and die-hard Guru / Gang Starr fan if I didn’t come with my own Guru tribute. Now the size of Gurus’ catalog of dope music is INSANE, which made it impossible to fit all of his music into this show. But hopefully I did Guru and his legacy justice with the songs I’ve selected for this tribute, while at the same time featuring some Gang Starr and Guru BANGAS that you may not be familiar with. For example, the horn mix to Gang Starrs’ "DWYCK", "Now You’re Mine" (originally off the White Men Can’t Jump / Rap soundtrack) and the 12" white label "Doe In Advance".
I also featured some songs from Jazzmatazz, Gurus’ solo project , where he worked with jazz legends to AMAZING results! And of course the Old to the New was in FULL effect! I featured "The ? Remainz" & "Mass Appeal" during this segment that not only showed Gurus’ partner , DJ Premier , genius on the boards but also showed the special chemistry that Guru and Preemo had which could NEVER be matched.
Bless
