The Guru’s back, kids, but you’ll hardly recognize him in his Lil Wayne costume. In 2009 the classic emcee returned on Jazzmatazz Vol. 5 ‘mdash; er, Guru 8.0: Lost ‘amp; Found. And with the album’s first single ‘Fastlane’ he’s throwing a blatant dart toward the pop charts, with hollow, trashy percussion, a humdrum synthesizer sample and (surprise!) an auto-tuned chorus: ‘Sometimes you gotta take the fast lane/ Or else they gonna pass you in the fast lane/ See I be in the first and the last lane/ Be careful when you dippin’ in yo’ cash mayn.’ This has got to be some kind of joke. Did you lose Primo’s number or something?
