Premier ‘Salutes’ Guru
With a special radio show…
DJ Premier has paid tribute to rapper Guru - who died last week after a battle with cancer.
The producer used his 2 hour long Sirius radio show to ‘Salute’ his partner in Gang Starr.
He recalled the last time he saw Guru and also criticised his recent collaborator Solar- who was apparently caring for the rapper when he died.
Premier said on his radio show: “When I saw him (Guru), it really f---ed me up, When I saw him, it was so ill to see — because from what I was hearing about him waking up and tweeting, there's no way [he could have done that]. He looked so gone.
"And on top of that, if you with him and you love him, why did his nails look longer than a ruler? And he had an afro. I've taken care of people in the hospital: you can wash their hair, clean their nails off, or clean their feet."
He continued: “His feet were swollen, his toenails were really disgusting… I told him a message from me about how much I loved him. We were for life and we'll always be for life. Then I kissed him on the face to let him know that I'm gonna miss him, because he looked like he was already gone.”
DJ Premier also took calls from Guru's family members and collaborators on the show.
