When Icons Die They Take The Music With Them #R.I.P. Guru

So I woke up this morning after a late night and I heard about the death of the founding member of Gangstarr, Guru. He had cancer for a while now but didn't want the public to know but before dying he had written a letter confirming that he had cancer and tried to use all treatments that were available to him, but to no avail. Honestly, I am saddened by this because there goes another icon of music dead, but for one lost there is another gain. Through this there is another generation that can get to know him and his music will live on. Although his death was flooded with controversy, it is his music and his spirit that we must remember. There will be no one like Guru. My condolences go out to his family, friends, and fans alike R.I.P. Guru you will truly be missed.

Some of my favourite Gangstarr songs of all time

Music Time :)

Sooo alot of people when complimenting me on my blog have talked about the music that will be playing in the background, so I decided to take it upon myself to take you on a little trip of all the recent music that is on my ipod that I know you will love some of the mixtapes/albums that I am listening to and I will be giving yu some tracks on mixtapes/albums to look out for.

Starting Off With Some of The New Ones

Shut Up && Listen by Shanell [Twitter Page @Shanell_SnL)
I'm going to be honest when I heard about this chick being on Young Money I wasn't impressed nor what to expect and honestly I felt that she was trying too hard to be "different" with the nose earing embellishment. But what intrigued me about her was when I heard a snippet of her singing on a Skit for the No Ceilings Mixtape I was like hmm maybe she can sing. I have listened to the mixtape and I'm telling yu it is soo worth the listen. Just click on the photo to download the mixtape.

Seared Foie Gras With Quince Cranberry by Asher Roth [Twiiter Page @AsherRoth)
I am not the biggest Asher Roth fan but please believe I do like his music his Greenhouse Effect mixtape was a banger but when his album Sleeping In The Bread Aisle came out I wasn't all that impressed. Now with the release of his mixtape Seared Foie Gras with Quince Cranberry (which I still want to know why he named it that) it proves why he got signed and why he was a XXL Freshman of '09. This mixtape is sooo LiiVE I listen to it in its entirety there is no real throw away song. His mixtape is sort of feature heavy I personally think he could've done it all by himself effortlessly but MEH!

One Verse One Hearse by Tory Lanez (Toronto Stand Up) (Twitter Page @TLanez]
Like I Said Toronto Stand The F*&^ Up, this dude right here, this dude right here, is gonna be giving alot of dudes a run for their money because on some real shit this dude is talented. One Verse One Hearse is not a game like seriously the name of the mixtape suits the content on the mixtape. Lanez jus takes some of today's rap hits and kills it with one verse, he is young but he is mad talented and he is the dude to look for. Like I always say Toronto is a very talented city we just waiting to kick the door open, Drake aint the only one that can spit a hot 16.

XXL's Top 10 Freshman for '10 Mixtape by Various Artists
Let me be quite frank when I seen who was the Top 10 Freshman for this year I was not impressed. AT ALL! Out of the 10 I only rated Nipssey Hu$$le, Big Sean (and I dont even really like him his voice is a bit annoying), Wiz Khalifa, and J.Cole. But after listening to the mixtape I can understand as to why they were on the cover. Do I think they bring anything new to the table? Not really. But are they talented in their own right and put together a banging mixtape. Yu dog'on skippy I agree. Alot of people are probably gonna disagree but I don't really care just make sure you have a good argument.
