R.I.P Guru
R.I.P Guru
We would like to send our condolences to family and friends of Hip-Hop legend Guru, otherwise known by his off-stage name Keith Elam, who sadly lost his battle with cancer yesterday. Guru was part of the Hip-Hop duo 'Gang Starr', who were very successfully throughout the 90s - one of their songs, B.Y.S., can also be heard on Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas' radio station Playback FM. His most notable contribution to the Grand Theft Auto series was his voice-acting of the character 8-Ball in Grand Theft Auto III, which is personally one of my most favorite characters in the GTA universe.
"I know a place in the edge of Red Light District where we can lay low, but my hands are messed up, so you better drive, brother." - 8-Ball
You will be dearly missed by all of your fans Guru, thank you for all of your contributions to the Hip-Hop genre and the Grand Theft Auto series. Rest In Peace.
Regards to Rockstar for the opening photograph and artwork, much appreciated guys.
