Via YO! Raps:
Well, not only did Guru survive and begin recovery from both his heart attack and surgery, but now he’s well enough to give a quick word to the rest of the world. In an exclusive statement given to Yo! Raps, Guru had this to say about his situation and the over-speculation on the Internet:
“I am doing fine and I am recovering! I’m weak though. Solar is the only person who has the accurate info on my situation. Any info from anybody else is false! I appreciate your well wishes and all the love!”
We know Guru has been working with Solar the last couple years, but man, kind of a diss to Gang Starr partner DJ Premier, eh? Regardless, we’re just glad Guru’s fine, and let’s hope he gets back on the mic some time soon!
I’m glad he pulled through.
Guru Issues Statement to Yo! Raps After Surgery
Author: Gangstarr Girl | Filed under: Hip-Hop, NewsRemember when magazine covers were the ish? I miss those days.
P.S. Stop spreading rumors about Guru dying. Word from his former publicist is that he is in serious condition but still alive. You can also check out @QTipTheAbstract’s Twitter profile for legitimate updates, as well as Solar’s and Primo’s. I don’t have their Twitter handlers but you can look them up.
*UPDATE* Guru’s surgery was successful. That’s all I know for now but keep him in your prayers.

Hip-Hop Wired has learned that rapper Guru is in a coma after suffering cardiac arrest. Details are sketchy but you can read the rest of the story at Hip Hop Wired.
Guru, a former member of the rap duo GangStarr, is one of the pioneers of Hip-Hop/jazz crossover.
I hope he pulls through.
