Rapper Guru dies after battle with cancer - CNN.com

Honestly, my only exposure to Guru was with the first couple of volumes of the Jazzmatazz series in the mid-90's. The combination of the music with his rapping style fit into my interest in jazz and spoken word performances. I was thrilled to be able to play Jazzmatazz Vol 1 on my shifts at both the student radio station and the NPR affiliate station. This is also one of those situations where I know the music as an album and not a collection of songs. It was odd listening to individual tracks on YouTube to pick one to post here on LJ.
