Guru dying got to me in a way no other musician’s death has.
Such a brilliant voice. Step In The Arena is still in my top albums.
He’s living in his voice, his rhymes, his knowledge that he’s passed on
I had been listening to hiphop for years mostly recording radio play to cassettes for years.

I changed after that experience
He was at my wedding… Take A Rest was on the playlist.
Tapes were the one! I used to spend hours taping pirate radio back in the day, was more the UK breaks and bleeps stuff before Jungle but those tapes hold such special place. I still think those radio tapes sound better than vinyl. The hiss, interference and compression create such a vibey sound.
I’ve recently been digitising them since I inherited a tape deck.
