"Lots of ladies, wanna, check me out
and lots of haters, wanna, X me out
I got more style than Gucci, Louis or Prada
drop more jewels on you, than your uncle or father..."
This monday it's time for track named "Night Vision" from legendary Guru's album "Jazzmatazz Vol.3, Streetsoul" (2000) featuring Isaac Hayes.
Born in the Boston neighborhood of Roxbury, Guru (Keith Elam) is known for delivering complex lyrics in a unique monotone style. Members of the hip-hop community consider him to be one of the pioneers of hiphop/jazz crossover. The name Guru is a backronym that stands for "Gifted Unlimited Rhymes Universal" and the less often used "God is Universal, he is the Ruler Universal".
Besides Gang Starr, his Jazzmatazz and solo albums, Guru has collaborated with countless artists since the early 90s. Not only in hiphop, but also with artists from various genres such as pop, electronica/dance, acid jazz and even brass bands.
