I Hope That Rapper Guru Emerges From The Comatose State That He Is In!

You've probably heard by now that the dope,raspy-voiced emcee named Guru suffered a heart attack & has been in a coma for about a week now.I used to love Gang Starr.

But I really love that song that he did with Angie Stone called "Keep Your Worries." Hopefully,he will fully recover & bless the world with his lyrical expertise once again.

Here's more on this sad story from hiphopdx.com:

"One of Hip Hop's most influential emcees is presently in critical condition, several sources say. Guru, one half of pioneering '80s, '90s and '00s Brooklyn-based Hip Hop group Gang Starr suffered a heart attack this weekend, according to the emcee and producer's sister Tricia.

HipHopWired.com says that the emcee, born Keith Elam is presently in a coma from complications of going into cardiac arrest. Guru is best known for penning hits such as "Words I Manifest," "Discipline" and "Just To Get A Rep." Between 1986 and 2004, Guru (an acronym Gifted Unlimited Rhymes Universal) founded Gang Starr, a duo with DJ Premier that also includes Gang Starr Foundation affiliates Big Shug, Group Home, Jeru Da Damaja and Smiley Da Ghetto Child.

Born and raised in the Boston area, Guru relocated to Brooklyn in the late '80s, where Gang Starr released its first singles with 45 King as producer. By 1988, the group evolved as a duo with Premier, and released their 1989 full-length debut No More Mr. Nice Guy on Wild Pitch Records. The duo would go on to release classic albums on Chrysalis/Virgin/EMI, such as 1994's Hard To Earn and 1998's Moment Of Truth. Gang Starr's last album, 2003's The Ownerz featured Jadakiss, Fat Joe and longtime affiliate Freddie Foxxx. The platinum group toured the world and released several greatest hits collections, most notably Full Clip: A Decade Of Gang Starr in 1999. The duo announced their split in 2004, reportedly due to creative and personal differences.

As a solo artist, Guru released four volumes of Jazzmatazz, Jazz-inspired recordings with legendary genre artists such as Donald Byrd and Roy Ayers. Guru has launched two labels in his career, Ill Kid Records and 7Grand, where he and production partner Solar worked alongside artists such as Talib Kweli, Damian Marley and Jean Grae.

HipHopDX extends prayerful thoughts to one of our staff's most-respected emcees, the Elam family, Solar, DJ Premier and fans. We will keep you updated."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.

The White House Social Secretary,Desiree Rogers, Is Resigning

Desiree Rogers is the graceful 50 yr. old beauty who currently holds the position of White House Social Secretary.According to Lynn Sweet,of the Chicago-Sun Times,she will be resigning in March.

After that fame-seeking couple crashed President Barack Obama’s first state dinner,there were a lot of calls for her to step down.I'm sure that all of those folks are delighted today.Especially Washington Post's Sally Quinn,who publicly called for her resignation.

Here's more from WSJ:

"White House social secretary Desiree Rogers, who has been under fire ever since Michaele and Tareq Salahi crashed President Barack Obama’s first state dinner, will resign in March, she told Chicago Sun-Times columnist Lynn Sweet.

“As we turn the corner on the first year,” Rogers told Sweet, “this is a good time for me to explore opportunities in the corporate world.”

Rogers has been a glamorous and somewhat controversial figure in the White House from the beginning, posing for fashion shots and bringing eye-catching style to her post but sometimes being accused of neglecting the nitty gritty of the job. When the Salahi security came to light, Secret Service leaders took the fall, saying they had neglected to keep a watchful eye on the guests coming into the dinner for Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

But critics said Rogers and her crew were equally responsible for matching the guests to the guest list."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.
