Wow. He couldn’t be no more than 40yrs old. I wonder what bought this on. So sad, my prayers are with him and his family.

@ MISS U

Here is the article:

According to many different sources, Hip-Hop Wired has acquired information that rapper Guru has fallen into a coma after suffering cardiac arrest.

Details right now remain very slim, but sources have stated that the news was broken by Guru’s sister.

Guru, who is a former member of the rap duo Gang Starr, is considered to be one of the pioneers of Hip-Hop/jazz crossovers. As more details are released, Hip-Hop Wired will continue to bring you all the information regarding the situation.

Our prayers go to Keith “Guru” Elam and his family.

*UPDATE*
DJ Premier, the other half of Gang Starr called up Satelite XM radio station “Hip Hop Nation” and confirmed Guru’s heart attack.

“Guru IS in a coma and will go under surgery tomorrow afternoon.”

Hip-Hop Wired and Hip-Hop heads will all be in prayer for the legendary artist.

Stick to Hiphopwired.com for up to minute updates regarding Guru

He will be in our prayers. With him recovering he can purchase some lingerie from chantillenicole.com

Damn Guru. I hope he recovers from this. Guru is a hip hop legend.

Damn,Not Guru.I am a huge fan of this dude.I hope he gets better!

This is so sad, I met him years ago at the Smokin’ Grooves tour. I used to love the music that he helped pioneer, jazz mixed with hip-hop…the early 90′s were the ish. I really hope he pulls through…

Definitely a legend… I hope he recovers…

@Glok

Yeaahhhh!!! “…now she’s my ex girl movin’ on to the next girl….the girls look sooooo good!” That was my song!

CARAMEL CAT ,..YES SISTA I STILL PUMP IT AS I SPEAK,…GOOD MUSIC = GOOD TIMES!

@Glok

You have no idea how much I miss those times. The music was so much deeper and had so much more meaning. All those jazz hip-hop artists got support from me. Digable Planets, Tribe Called Quest, Brand New Heavies, Gang Starr, I could keep going….just reminiscing….

COCAIN! That is all…

WoW! I used to love jazzmatazz…

this is really sad to hear..

I hope he makes a full recovery..

This is terrible!!! I loooooove me some Gangstarr!!! “Dwyck” is one of THE best hip-hop songs ever-yes, I said it!

I pray for Guru’s recovery.

@ Cat, girl, you got me reminiscing with all those artists…good times…

Hey Aunt Viv!

Weren’t those good time??? The music was just untouchable, really makes me think about what we are lacking right now….

guru is a one of the best to ever did it, im praying for you brother.

HOW CAN I FORGET THE SMASH HITS ..”BUST YOUR CHIT” AND “KAOS” GET WELL BIG BRO!!

I love the Guru—Lemonade is a popular drink and it still is—man im showing my age on this one, i really hope he comes out of it, i met him a long time ago in LA got pics too, he was reallllly nice….

GET WELL SOON GANGSTARRRRRRR!!!!

Hey Always Knew!

@Aunt Viv,

Yesss!!!! I loved Black Moon too! You are right about the mix of sub-genres, that’s what made it all so musically creative. It wasn’t all one big gimmick like it is now.

@Aunt Viv

“Dwyck” is one of the best hip-hop songs, EVER! I co-sign 100% You like Black Moon too? Yes! My kinda music allday.
My thoughts and prayers go out to Guru and his family at this sad time.

CARAMEL!
IM GLAD WE HAD THOSE GOOD TIMES THEN,..CUZ ITS DEAD NOW ,..I STILL PLAY ALL THAT CHIT ,.SOME MIGHT HAVE SAID THEY WERE WACK BACK THEN BUT ITS ONLY CUZ OF THE COMPETITION…NOW YOU HEAR ITAND EMBRACE IT AND THANK GAWD YOU HAD IT GOOD BACK THEN ….I MISS IT TOO!

@Glok

I hear you, and the main reason why people back then were saying that stuff was wack was because they were on a lower level of understanding music. Rappers were actually ‘talking’ about stuff back then and it wasn’t all about the beats or the track, but more about the melody and the lyrics. The music had depth, that’s why I loved the mix with jazz because it gave it an old school feel with new school content. Anyone remember that song called ‘Play My Funk’? I think it was made by some chick, but the beat to that was sick! All jazz instruments….

I love him and I am hoping GOD has mercy on him in the mighty name of Jesus.

OMG!!! I cannot believe this!!! I listen to “Royalty” everyday!!! It’s my anthem! That was the song that they did with Jodeci, well, K-Ci and Jo-Jo song the hook! But I used to loooooooooooooooved Gang Starr and this is so upsetting to me! Guru, you are in my prayers…God Bless.

God bless!

I use to rock Guru in my dorm room back in college!! His beats were off the chain.. This was true Hip Hop.. Timberlands, baggy jeans, Headphones, and a book bag, freestylin in the cold rotating a b.l.u.n.t in a cipher.. Girls could rock Tim’s and baggy jeans too and would not be labeled a d.i.k.e. with there large hoop earrings, and dark lipstick and a shell choker.. Those were the days.. My prayers go out to you Guru you are a true Trailblazer for Hip Hop..

Okay! yes! you named all the heavy hitters. And, I loved it when girls could dressed relaxed and baggy and not be labeled as a d.y.k.e. You could add your femininity in the areas you named: hair, jewelry, make-up, but the clothes could just be chill….ahhhh, those were the days!

My favorite is you know my steeze. GURU…Gifted Unlimited Rhymes Universal.

Stay strong, Brother. Couldn’t nobody cut a record up like DJ Premier and have the Guru rapping over it. Dude voice was fire.

DIE SOON! PLEASE!

Guru,our thoughts and prayers are with you my brother. One of Hip Hop’s finest!

I’m really sad. He was one of the hip hop greats. His flow was sick. Moment of truth was so dope. Get well Guru.

Correction, He IS*…don’t want to reference him like he’s not with us.

@Miss All That!

We cannot forget “They REMINISCE over you” by PETE ROCK AND CL SMOOTH Y’ALL!!!

~~~~

OMG…you took it back! That-was-my-song! My cousin’s used to laugh at me because I was into all that deep east coast stuff while they bumped that gangasta rap (which was cool too). Nas’s track ‘It Ain’t Hard to Tell’ used to make me wish I was from New York! lol…

OMG I was just humming to one of his songs today. So Ironic. I hope he’ll be ok.

Awwww….how sad….I met Guru once…he’s a real cool guy. Hope he pulls through.

M.A.S.S. A.P.P.E.A.L.
