DJ Premier’s D&D Studios (HeadQCourterz) Closes

Illmatic. Reasonable Doubt. Ready To Die. Almost every Gang Starr and every Premo track since '92 was recorded here. But yesterday, Dj Premier announced that D&D Studios  (also known as HeadQCourterz Studios) will close its doors forever. The famous recording home will be eventually converted to one of many luxury apartments, as Premo stated in one of his recent Instagram post: #RichClownsRuinManhattan. But this won't stop the legendary producer from making timeless hits, as he plans to record at Kaufman Astoria Studios in Queens NY. I am sure the HeadQCourterz name will move with him. Check out his IG photos below of Premier and his final moments at D&D studios.

- GangStarr Forever!!!

In addition to the Gang Starr clothing line launch, Preemo also cooked up a new Gang Starr mixtape (free download!!).  "This free download is for the true Gang Starr heads that not only love the classic singles, but love the rarely played album cuts, B-Sides, rare collabos and not your regularly mixed records” Premier states.  “We wanted something to go along with the launch of our Official Gang Starr Shop and we will continue to keep the legacy going.  Shouts to Guru and Lil Guru (KC), Lana, Justin, the whole Elam family and the Gang Starr Foundation for staying strong throughout the whole loss of our soldier, father, lyricist and MC. Love can never be shattered and that's what we bring everyday all day.”

NAS, DJ PREMIER, QTIP AND TALIB KWELI SPEAK ON GURU OF GANG STARR

Hip-hop lost one of its most distinct voices on April 19th when Guru, whose collaboration with DJ Premier as Gang Starr expanded the genre's scope, died after a year-long struggle with cancer. He was 48.

Guru ˜ born Keith Elam ˜ grew up in the Roxbury section of Boston. His father was that city's first black municipal judge and his mother was a library director in the city's public schools. Elam graduated from Morehouse College, worked as a social worker, and began graduate school at Manhattan's Fashion Institute of Technology before he dropped out in the mid-'80s, dove headlong into New York's burgeoning hip-hop underground and began his rap career as MC Keith E.

Over a 14-year span, Gang Starr released six albums, all universally acclaimed, and despite the duo's uncompromising music, which was often dense and rarely radio-friendly, had two gold albums and several Top 10 singles, including "Mass Appeal." As a solo artist, Guru recorded four editions of his Jazzmatazz series, rhyming over jazz arrangements featuring the likes of Herbie Hancock, Roy Ayers, and Branford Marsalis.

NAS - "Guru was like a vanguard of rap, Gang Starr were right there, at the forefront of style on the New York streets."

DJ PREMIER -  "I'm gonna miss hearing his signature monotone voice when he walks in the room, but the songs will always bring it back to me," we had planned to reunite for a seventh album when the time was right, tragically we will never reach that day."

QTIP - "He had one of the most distinctive voices in music, If you wanted to understand rapping, story-telling, if you want to get thugged out, if you want to get political, you could listen to Gang Starr. They just encompassed everything that hip-hop embodied."

TALIB KWELI - "Gang Starr's music was the soundtrack to me falling in love with hip hop, when we first met, Guru and his crew snuck me and my crew in at New York's New Music Seminar back in 1990.  Guru was a friend, a mentor, and a legend and will be forever missed."

Keith Elam aka Gifted Unlimited Rhymes Universal or Guru, departed this earth on April 19, 2010. He left behind a legacy of innovation, creativity, and experimentation among his many other gifts. Whether contributing his raspy voice to the production of DJ Premier in Gang Starr or fusing his vocal abilities through his own Jazzmatazz projects, G.U.R.U. always pushed the boundaries. April 19, 2014 is the 4 year anniversary of his passing, but we will celebrate his life & music with a special broadcast on www.offthecorner.net Friday April 18th @ 10pm

GANGSTARR WEEK: NAS AND GURU FT DJ PREMIER - '419 4EVA' SPECIAL MIX

Friday 4/18 I will be airin a special Guru mix at 10pm on www.MixLR.com/fullblast-Radio . People are talking about the upcoming Nas Documentary "Time Is Illmatic" and the upcoming anniversary of Guru's passing, but I just realized that both of these events share the same April 19th date. Both of these artists have made a monumental mark in Hip Hop culture and also share common links. Dj Premier, who is one half of GangStarr, worked with Nas in creating timeless masterpieces, including NY State of Mind, Memory Lane & many more. Illmatic is one of the best if the best Hip Hop album released, EVER. Gangstarr's Daily Operation, Step in the Arena, Hard To Earn, & Moment of Truth can be rightfully argued as being in that top album list. with Dj Premier behind the boards, you have a winning formula.

GANGSTARR WEEK : NAS'S ILLMATIC COINCIDES WITH THE DEATH ANNVERSARY OF KEITH ELAM AKA GURU OF GANGSTARR





I know people are talking about the upcoming Nas Documentary "Time Is Illmatic" and the upcoming anniversary of Guru's passing, but I just realized that both of these events share the same April 19th date. Both of these artists have made a monumental mark in Hip Hop culture and also share common links. Dj Premier, who is one half of GangStarr, worked with Nas in creating timeless masterpieces, including NY State of Mind, Memory Lane, Nas Is Like, and many more. Illmatic is one of the best if the best Hip Hop album released, EVER.



And Gangstarr's albums, Daily Operation, Step in the Arena, Hard To Earn, and Moment of Truth can be rightfully argued as being in that top album list. These are the artists that molded me coming up because they truly represent what real New York Hip Hop Culture is supposed to represent. They entertain while also dropping knowledge, and with Dj Premier behind the boards, you have a winning formula. This Friday I will be dedicating a special mix at 10pm est dedicated to Gangstarr and Keith Elam aka Guru on my station, FULLBLAST RADIO that you can listen to by clicking the link and the station will also be embedded here on Offthecorner.net.   

Rest In Power to Guru of Gang Starr; Tribute Mix by Dj Tiger

(Pics are part of my personal vinyl collection) 

Gang Starr is one of the greatest groups in Hip Hop Culture. With production by the great Dj Premier, Lyrics and Turntable scratching They represented Hip Hop the way it's supposed to be done. With the passing of Keith Elam aka Guru in 2010, Hip Hop lost one of its greatest soldiers. GURU stands for GIFTED UNLIMITED RHYMES UNIVERSAL, and he was truly gifted, from dropping classic after classic albums with Primo, or creating the smooth sound in the Jazzmatazz series. Today we celebrate his life and legacy with a tribute by off the corner's own Dj Tiger. Enjoy and salute one of the greatest musical artists in Hip Hop.
