One year on...Guru of Gang Starr

It's been a year since Guru, aka Keith Elam, passed away before his time of cancer.

Over these 12 months I've seen so many posters, t-shirts and other tributes. It made me wonder if any of the companies that created and sold these items actually donated anything back to Guru's family or estate? Ask the question out loud and publicly if you're buying any of these products!

Guru's death may have sparked an increase in Gang Starr music sales which would benefit the estate, but none of the tribute products' profits would flow to the estate. A tribute may be the highest form of flattery, but in these instances it seems to be simple profiteering and in a deceased legend's name.
