Editor's Note:
Below is an out-of-print interview with Keith "Guru" Elam. Upon learning about Guru's untimely death Monday, HipHopDX writer Adisa Banjoko provided us with this 1991 relic to Gang Starr fans and Hip Hop culture. Initially conducted for Black Panther newspaper The Commemorator, the piece spent over a decade on cassette tape until appearing in Banjoko's self-published, now out-of-print Lyrical Swords Volume 2 book.
Sitting next to Gang Starr partner DJ Premier, Guru and Banjoko's '91 conversation took place during San Francisco's Galvin Convention, on the steps of radio station KPOO. Also present for this interview were KRS-One, Young Black Teenagers and famed engineer Sam Sever. Although additional information remains unknown at this time, the conversation took place shortly after Gang Starr's January, 1991 release of their acclaimed sophomore album, Step Into The Arena.
