i guess its because you never hear guru representing boston or his area like other rappers do, so everyone just assumes they're from new york.
the song "Ex Girl To Next Girl" kind of talks about Boston and at the same time gives you a rough idea of why Guru doesn't rep Boston:
"You used to ask me why the hell did I wanna live in brooklyn?
You messed up my flow although you were good-lookin'
Yes darlin' was fly and this was the problem
'cause back in the day she had me scheming and robbin'
To get her things to wear so when she went to the club
All eyes were on her and me I just bugged
Caught in between felling proud and feeling more like a sucker
Had to go undercover, get away, find another
Been in brooklyn 9 years and been around the world too
I've seen so many fly girls and I knew just what to do"
so basically he's been in NY so damn long that he doesn't even consider himself a Bostonian. he moved to BK, i'm guessing, to be an MC because back in 89 (when Gang Starr first gained success) you were either from NY or LA or you got no props. his style fit NY better and it was closer to Boston, so he went to NY. also, possibly to get the fuck away from the bitch he's rapping about in this song.
