Maybe we blinked and missed it, but for the life of us we cannot figure out why the 53rd GRAMMY Awards did not mention the late Keith "Guru" Elam—who passed away last April—in their In Memoriam section. The tribute featured tons of acts we'd never heard of but no mention of the Gang Starr frontman. Guru is a hip-hop legend and he deserved better. And even if the GRAMMYs forget him, we never will. R.I.P. Guru. Below, tweets from other hip-hop figures who noticed that Guru never got a shoutout.
