Guru R.I.P. (confirmed)

Nah.

Obvious case: Mindbender. I, and many people here, think he sucks as a rapper (sorry Bender), but we wouldn't wish him any harm.

And maybe I haven't been paying enough attention, but isn't most of the Guru mockery on here done so in a playful, lighhearted way? I mean, the Agent B Matrix photoshop was hilarious and all, but are most people here really shitting on Guru's history? He was never the greatest rapper, but still...

I'm just saying that if you don't give a fuck about his artistic contribution (the only possible way you'd have any connection to him), why would you claim to be sensitive about the status of his health? That's arbitrary woman shit.

Long Story Short: Guru has been dead to most of us for a long time anyway.

I get you, but I just don't know if that applies here, for the above reason. Unless I'm mistaken, the average person here still has nuff respect for Guru, but it's just fun to take the piss out of him. Or at least, speaking for myself. I wish him well.

Edit: Wrote that before above two posts.

Definitely not the best rapper but did make a couple classic albums and Gang starr the group's legacy is pretty undeniable. Hope dude pulls through.

I'm sure a lot of people feel the same way, but you ALMOST only hope he makes it if we get a new Gangstarr album out of the deal...

Why do the two have to be mutually exclusive? I love Gang Starr, hope Guru pulls through but I still think this thread is hilarious.

I feel that...the jokes are mad too soon, but I cant deny the hilarity of Hard to Urn and Heart attacks were a popular cause...

Is the aforementioned Agent B photoshop still around anywhere? Is it the one w/the Lemonade and Bruce Willis dap? If so PLEASE post that.

hey man... jokes are jokes, but there are lines not to cross. internet or not.

well that's how I live. do what you want. maybe one day Primo, or even GURU will see this post. you think they would laugh at it? 1% chance maybe... but in fucking 3 months, when Guru is out of his coma and healed from his fucking -heart attack-.

like I said: too soon.

sure i wouldn't say everything i say on here in real life, but i'll be damned if i make jokes about someone who might die before they pass away.

I even said in one of the old posts on here with one of his new videos "GURU looks sick." He DID look skinny 6 months ago in that new video he dropped. Still wasn't being disrespectful.

I hope GURU gets better, cause if he doesn't come out of this coma, this post here is an example of some supremely shameful shit

you guys want to make jokes about Phife Dawg's diabetes next? go head.

rap is outta fucking control.

^^^Thank you.

And to people talking about crossing lines...

Its the internet...nobody gives a fuck about lines period. Its real annoying how much that has come up lately in the light of the culture of this message board

Jokes about Guru's heart attack are far from the worst things being posted on here...if you wanna reign it in start w/ some of the other stuff.

The reason Employee's rant about NB103 comment was

able is due to the fact that he spent more than half his time on here saying equally offensive shit.

Killin me acting like theres rules around

all of a sudden.

Seriously?

Dude Im not an MB basher and for the most part I try to steer clear of the shit talk directed at you, but cmon man.

Youre all over the place in how you post...admittedly. And you have said some pretty harsh shit on here in regard to how you view females. So just please miss me w/the "I respect women and life" stuff.
