Music Thread #1 For 7/1/10: In BET's Minds, Guru, Marvin Isley, And Naomi Sims Are Technical Glitches

In the head clown of B.E.T's mind, the slight at Guru at their clown awards show (and now other prominent figures that have departed) was just a " technical glitch ". AllHipHop.com : There's quite a bit of buzz going on in particular with the Hip-Hop Community with regards to Guru. He didn't get a shoutout at the BET Awards over the weekend. Stephen Hill : In a show that had every few technical glitches , it was nothing more than a technical glitch. It was the same reason you didn't see anything about Naomi Sims (the first African American supermodel) a Black model who passed, and M arvin Isley of the Isley Brothers. So, Guru, Naomi Sims and Marvin Isley were all tied to this one [ video ] package that didn't fire off the way it was supposed to. What was supposed to happen is you see this package and Naomi and Guru and and Marvin end up on Gary Coleman. For some reason, we couldn't get it to fire and it kept Gary Coleman up there a freeze [frame]....

After surviving a coma just a few months back, the rapper Guru has passed away today this morning. More to come on this tough development to wake up too on this April 20 day . "The world has lost one of the best MCs and hip-hop icons of all-time — my loyal best friend, partner, and brother, Guru," Solaar said. "Guru has been battling cancer for well over a year and has lost his battle! This is a matter that Guru wanted private until he could beat it, but tragically, this did not happen. The cancer took him. Now the world has lost a great man and a true genius."

Music Thread #1 For 3/1/10: Update on Guru's Health And Rest Of The Runthrough

It's the same update as before, as he is still in a comma after the heart attack he has suffered. Hopefully things will improve for him after that news, as his group "Gangstarr was in the midst of making a new album." Funny enough, after I highlight Talib in the Wakeup Call this morning, Reflection Eternal news for you folks with a new track: Reflection Eternal - "In This World" by Warner Bros. Urban Speaking of new, here's Soulja Boy's " All Black Everything ", even though not all the individuals in the video weren't all black. But it was fun stuff. Yes, it is Justin Bieber's birthday today. And didn't know Ludacris was on one of his songs. Too funny: And why Ice Cube, why ? Your music thread.
