LEGENDARY MC GURU AKA MR. GANGSTARR CONTINUES TO RECOVER
UPDATE: Recent MRI test results are very encouraging. All medical history will show that Guru is not and has not been placed in a medically induced coma ever
Legendary MC Guru and hit producer Solar will be releasing official documents which will confirm and verify everything that has been addressed in the official press releases regarding Guru's health. Furthermore it will show the hoax that has been played by certain media outlets who have not provided Guru or Solar a chance to refute the lies being perpetrated against them. and the immoral and dishonest behavior by some people from Guru's past.
The official documents, according to Solar, will clearly and undeniably show that:
* ... there has never been any hospital guest list recorded by Solar to prevent anybody from visiting Guru. * ... all visits have been recorded and they will also reveal that somebody from Guru's past misrepresented himself as his attorney to get access to Guru which is illegal by law, as well as numerous people saying they are Guru's family who they are not. * ... Guru has made his proxy on his own in conjunction with hospital personnel as required by law and outside of Solar’s presence. * ... Guru has had no conversations with his nephew, Justin Elam, on anything that he is lying about in his published YouTube video. They were not close at all and Guru's nephew has never known Solar on a personal level. * ... Justin Elam is using Guru's name to advance his selfish needs and has no right to use the brand Guru or GangStarr in any way, shape or form, on YouTube or anywhere else.
Guru continues to recover from his heart attack. Recent MRI test results, which is a magnetic resonance imaging like a high tech X-ray, are encouraging.
Solar, who is Guru's official spokesperson, visits his longtime partner and best friend everyday to support him. Unfortunately certain people try to shed bad light on Solar by broadcasting wrong rumors and allegations regarding the producer’s involvement in this tragic situation.
"It is more than obvious that certain disgruntled people from Guru’s past are trying to use this tragic situation to settle a score with Guru and myself for whatever reason which is shameful," says Solar.
"We want to thank everyone who is showing support! Keep sending your prayers, thoughts, and wishes to Guru and his loved ones." Solar continued.
During my prison stint, I want my fans to know I love you. I want all of you to know that I appreciate all the mail I get, and this is my way of saying thank you. The F is for Family, Friends, and Fans.
Love. Live. Life. Proceed. Progress. That’s who I am and who I’ll always be. You see, we’re all living on borrowed time, so I’m not worried about this situation. Life happens quick. The more time you spend contemplating what you should have done…you lose valuable time planning what you can and will do. Trying to tear down the past prohibits you from building up your future. So for my time here, my physical will be confined to the yard. My love and my spirit, however, know no boundaries. I’m in good spirits man, for real. My kids
race through my mind all day. They know they were created with love, so love is how their life will be defined. I just hope my love and adoration for them provides a temporary bandage on a wound I unknowingly inflicted on them.
Real soon, you can catch me blogging for ESPN again thank you espn for not letting my passion for sports perish. I work out a lot because it helps pass the time. I read the Bible everyday. Jail didn’t make me find God, He’s always been there. They can lock me up, but my spirit and my love can never be confined to prison walls.
But this isn’t all about me, you are the reason for this letter. It’s because of youRebirth went gold when critics aborted it. It’s because of you Young Money is and will always be a movement. If the weight of the world is on your shoulders, I beg of you, place it on mine. That’s the least I could do for you, after all you have sacrificed for me. If I could, I’d write each one of you back. Because of this, my team and I have created a website where you can view my letters. Each week I’ll answer as many questions as I possibly can.
Mia Edwards (Southern California) – I wish you nothing but the best for you. Earning your Masters in Library and Information Science is beautiful. I’ll keep you in mind whenever I decide to do an autobiography on my life.
Kelly Holloman (Brooklyn) – I still remember your letter. You have a great spirit. Thank you for the words and being a real fan. I love you.
Nurris Terrero (New York) – Your letter was so thoughtful and sincere. The way you worded everything left me in awe. Please send suggestions on books I should read. I look forward to checking them out.
For real, this will be the best way we can communicate for the coming months. The same way yall miss me, I miss yall, only 100 times more. To those who hate. Hate is only a form love that hasn’t found a way to express itself logically. Keep sending the letters and I promise keep responding. Thank YOU, thank YOU, thank YOU. No matter what they do to erase me, my love for you will always be permanent. Remember that. Take care. God bless.
Give me the patience that I need To keep my piece of mind, And with life’s cares, I hope, Dear God, Some happiness to find. Give me the courage to face life`s trials and not to from troubles run. let me keep this thought in mind. “Thy Will,” not “Mine,” be done.
