Gang Starr MC Guru In Coma

MC suffered heart attack over the weekend.

By Jayson Rodriguez

Gang Starr MC Guru suffered a cardiac episode over the weekend and is currently in a coma, according to multiple reports. Details were unavailable at press time about the rapper’s condition and when the incident occurred.

Hot 97’s News Director Miss Info reported that Guru is currently in a New York-area hospital where he’s expected to undergo surgery.

Gang Starr’s was scheduled to appear on Sirius XM’s Hip-Hop Nation satellite radio station late Sunday night to speak about Guru’s condition. At press time the status of that interview was unclear, but according to the producer’s blog, the sensitivity of the situation prevented him from speaking publicly. In the same post, Guru was described as “fighting for his life.”

Comprised of Guru (born Keith Elam in Massachusetts) and Premier (born Christopher Martin in Texas), Gang Starr teamed together to help define the New York underground rap sound in the early ’90s. Premier’s production palette featured sampled jazz records and scratched vocals on the choruses, complimented Guru’s uncompromising rhymes. Although the pair would work separately as often as they did together — Guru’s Jazzmatazz series of albums and Premier’s work with Nas, Jay-Z, and underground act Group Home — Gang Starr continued to release critically acclaimed material throughout the late ’90s and early 2000s.

Their 1998 album Moment of Truth was among their most critically lauded collections and Gangstarr’s biggest selling project to date. Gang Starr’s last group project, The Ownerz, was released in 2003.

Guru recently re-released his 2005 solo debut as a digital download and re-christened it Version 7.0: The Street Scriptures.

Guru spoke with MTV News at the time, noting the pair’s penchant for working on outside projects, but ultimately continuing to stoke the Gang Starr flames.

“You went on your little vacation, but you come back home with a bunch of skills and other things to add to the table,” he said. “When we do Gang Starr it always gets more and more intense.”


Check out this dope tribute to the late, great Big Pun. Napolean da Legend hails out of the DMV area, influenced by Pun he felt like it was only right to do something in his memory. Check it out and let me know what you think!

DOWNLOAD “DEEP COVER” http://usershare.net/0tfgaryelndb

Two legends of different calibers come together on one track to celebrate life and death. Napoleon Da Legend (who has been on hiphopdx,allhiphop,globalgrind) celebrates the anniversay of Big Punisher by creating, “Deep Cover 2010″. This is a classic track in the making with Napoleon and Pun exchanging lines bar for bar. While its not a competition it is easy to tell that Napoleon has no problems keeping up with Big Pun. Legendary publicist and music industry veteran Jonathan Hay has offered his cosign to this song. Jonathan Hay, has worked on Big Pun projects such as, Big Pun: The Legacy’, ‘ (Vivendi/Universal), ‘Big Pun: The Lost Files’ and the official soundtrack ‘The Legacy: The Best of Big Pun’ (Loud/Sony Music)”


Check out the first battle, released from the NYC event. This was definitely one of my favs. Soul Khan came off on some secret squirrel shit! lol I had no idea he was a rapper when I first saw him in the crowd. Deacon is nice, I just don’t think he expected the white boy to come off crazy like Soul Khan did! But you be the judge!
