DJ Premier’s “Salute To Guru” Mix + More Gang Starr Specials
On the eve of the 1st annyversary of Guru’s passing, DJ Premier stopped by Funkmaster Flex on Hot 97 and played a 2 hour tribute set in honor of his late partner. Listen to the mix here & download the official audio recording here: part 1 & part 2
Note: The picture above is from The Source Magazine, published in 1994, the only issue of Source with Gang Starr on the cover. There’s an interesting coincidence here, this is the issue of Source where they gave Illmatic 5 mics, and Guru passed away on the same day Illmatic was released.
