Remember how almost every time in the history of this forum that GURU has been mentioned pretty much the entire actively posting population mocked him and the entirety of his career?

There were multiple reports today that Keith ג€œGuruג€ Elam, from the legendary Gang Starr has suffered cardiac arrest and is in a coma. (i.e. HipHopDX and HipHopWired) My sources have only confirmed to me that yes, Guru is in a New York-area hospital after a cardiac episode. And that his friends, family and a generation of fans are currently praying for the best. Iג€™m also hearing that Guru is undergoing surgery soon. So, until more concrete details are available and we wish for the best, here are some of classic Guru momentsג€¦.

Update: Guruג€™s former partner, our friend DJ Premier was set to call into DJ Eclipseג€™s HipHopNation/Sirius show to speak on Guruג€™s health, but has decided to wait. Perhaps because his condition is so tenuous.

Damn, that really does suck. Honestly, I hope he does get better.

Funny jokes suddenly become unfunny when it's somebody famous?

This thread is awesome.

Mocking someone's rapping, and mocking them being in a coma are different things though.

That said, some of the jokes were pretty hilarious, but the majority weren't.

What's funnier and more awesome (read: more funny, less awesome) is your twitter page. People like you should not be tweeting. Not that you should feel alone, there. Jesus H. Christ though, what a bunch of useless shite and masturbatory NCAA basketball non-factors, and lame soft drink gobbledygook. And, what's more, the fact you link to it in your signature, AS IF (no Silverstone), anyone in their right mind would want to be lulled into asphyxia by the fumes of your indubitably boring ass existence.

Hoping for the best and a succesful recovery.

I don't mind any of the jokes, but I don't think they are in good taste. None of them are that funny.

Yeah I just don't see him being 43. But if US Magazine reports it then it must be true. http://www.usmagazine.com/moviestvmusic ... ack-201013

Yeah but you're a faggot if you mock a guy for his life's work and then pretend to give a fuck about his health.
