[@darylcarr8283]

He did drop them occasionally, but since it was occasional you felt them when he did. It wasn't frivolous or a "crutch." It hurt my soul to edit this before posting to express him in the past tense. RIP.

"Rap is an art... you can't own no loops. It's how you hook em up in the rhyme style, troop. So don't even think that someone bit off of your weak beat. C'mon you need to quit." I quote this every time people accuse rappers of "stealing" beats.

What's even more dope is that guru came from an educational background: Elam was born in the Roxbury neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. His father, Harry, was a judge and his mother, Barbara, was the co-director of libraries in the Boston Public Schools system. He attended the Advent School on Beacon Hill in Boston, Noble and Greenough School in Dedham, Massachusetts, and Cohasset High School in Cohasset, Massachusetts for high school.[6] Elam graduated with a degree in business administration from Morehouse College in Atlanta[7] and took graduate classes at the Fashion Institute of Technology in Manhattan.
