Overall Infamous Quotes is a decent mixtape, but you know if Skillz is involved the major focus is on lyrics. I’m sure I’ll be listening to this for some time pealing back the layers of dudes punch lines and metaphors.

This one is good candidate for the headphones.

Out of all the stuff i listened too, I thought it would be best to repost some pieces from cats that actually knew Guru, because I feel there might be some cats trying to get some undue publicity off of dudes death.

So,, 1st up I heres a recording of Jazzmatazz live at Eurockéennes Festival (France) (2001) posted by DJ Premier. For me Jazzmatazz is a good representation of the sound and feel of the 90′s.

Guru: JAZZMATAZZ LIVE

As I said I listened to a lot of Guru mixtapes, but nobody had as much passion as DJ Evil Dee on his Podcast. He touches most of the hits and the songs that you probably want to hear, but lets face it there are so many Gang Starr and Guru records it would be too much to play everything.

J.Rocc was granted access to Blue Notes Sample Library to make this MixTape that is not big on tricks, scratching or blends. J.rocc just presents these classic jazz cuts with some Hip Hop flavor.

J.Rocc is the founding member of The World Famous Beat Junkies and is currently signed to Stones Throw Records.

I first heard of Damu on a progressive hip hop show called Subsonic on XM Radio. I think he did some beats for the shows promo.

So, I ditched XM after the merger with Sirrus, but I missed a lot of the flavor of the shows that the merger killed. So when I stumbeled across Over-Time it was like a shot from the not so distant past.

Over-Time is a collage of beats and samples. It’s a little more than a beat tape but not quite a mix tape. Damu channels those old familiar sounds of that 90′s Boom Bap, Hip Hop.

After checking out Over-Time I’m definitely looking forward to checking out some of Damu’s more recent work, and it looks like Damu is dropping a couple of new joints sometime next month, I’ll pick them up next month and let you know how they are
