Whoa. A few guilty LoLs in here but I really hope he makes it (if this is true).

As a fan of hip hop I will say this: events like these can alter people and they come back inspired, motivated to right wrongs from the past, etc.... and NO-ONE in hip hop needs it more than Guru with all the delusional tirades, the new "super"producer talk, the auto-tunes mumbling... getting out of control in the club... and worst of all, denying the history he created with Gangstarr. They represented the back-bone of hip hop and something essential was lost with their break-up. A lot of rappers barely have a purpose but Guru does have one with Gangstarr, so if this rumor is true hopefully he gets over that little porn incident and finally reaches out to Primo again for 2010. EPMD did it, Nas and Jay made amends, and this reunion has been waiting to happen for years. This if anything could make it happen and something good would come out of it.

Pre-emptive :megaman:

I'll ask the guy that posted it up for more info. I'll post back when I get a response. I haven't got a clue what a "buddhist listserv" is. Some kind of mailing list or something? I suppose this could just be someone's stupid idea of a joke.

EDIT - Looks like it's true based on that link above: -
DJ Premier, the other half of Gang Starr called up Satelite XM radio station "Hip Hop Nation" and confirmed Guru's heart attack.

what a complete travesty of a thread...one of the internets all time worst...not because of anything that may have happened to guru because hes been dead since 1997 but because of the unbelivable amount of disgraceful paronomasia's

Primo was on Sirius tonight, I guess Eclipse spoke, Preem didn't.
But, yeah, he's in a coma from Cardiac arrest and is going in for surgery
tomorrow.

I don't know, I'm not on my twitter account much, but this is what my girl
tells me and she's all on that twitter shit and, most of the time, on point.

I hear you. Sometimes they do it for nothing, just to get a rep.
But his deadly habits may have sabotaged his moment of truth.
It may have been the betrayal of a nice girl in the wrong place that caused
his heart to take a rest.

being comatose can get quite touch & go. the main objective is to keep the patient alive.
open heart surgery on the other hand always includes some degree of risk of complications.. they don't even like to perform surgery on people who are sick

Oh this is real? Jesus.

Totally thought we were joking because this was ostensibly a rumor.

Seriously not cool to joke about.

It's official

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.
