Guru suffers heart attack

Legendary rapper Guru, best known as a member of the rap duo Gangstarr, reportedly suffered a heart attack over the weekend and is currently in critical condition.
According to HipHopWired.com, the 43-year-old rapper (real name: Keith Elam) went into cardiac arrest sometime this weekend, and has since slipped into a coma.
Guru's former partner, DJ Premier, was set to call into DJ Eclipse's HipHopNation/Sirius show to speak on the rapper's condition. But, several reports indicate that he decided to hold off.
HipHopWired, however, says the call did take place, and Premier revealed that Guru is set to undergo surgery this afternoon (March 1).
Further details regarding his condition are unknown.

These are possibly two of the greatest posse cuts of all time, one from the West Coast and the other from the East. They sure don't make 'em like this anymore... Now, who's for some Lil Wayne???.

Rapsploiation Sessions 3rd Birthaday feat. Millionaires By Morning,Jack Flash, Stig of the Dump & Dr.Syntax

We had a dope night,meeting up with old friends and even making a couple of new ones (Lady Tara who pops up in the vid, being one of those). Millionaires By Morning kicked the night off with a couple of new tracks that hadnt been played out yet aswell as 'Ironman' and 'Pass It' which will always go down well;A particular highlight of their set was when Truth asked people what they had in their pockets and did some improv freestyling around what was pulled out. Jack Flash (End of The Weak World Champion) was up next and blasted out some incredible word play and clarity in his verses. Stig & Synners were on at 11 p.m to finish the night off, They started out with some new material that I don't think has been released YET (new E.P's are expected from both of them shortly and I'll keep you posted on both them) They are a duo that never fails to get the crowd hyped-up and this night was no different cullminating in a cover version of Rage Against The Machine's 'Killing in the name' which had the whole crowd shouting "Fuck you I won't do what you tell me!!!"... Happy Birthday Rapsploitation Session's,Here's to another 3 years!!!

It's been such a long time since Mr.Eben Gregory did a video update of The Jewelry Report, In my humble opinion he is one of, if not the best Hip-Hop News Vlogger I have come across on the net(PAUSE)...Peep his latest update here...And the go to his homepage and Subscribe to it at ebengregory.com .

Everyone knows I've been a massive Public Enemy fan since I first heard the 'Yo! Bumrush The Show' album back in 87'88. Never have I or ever will I say or write anything bad about the group as a whole;although Professor Griff has said some pretty far-out things in the past which I don't agree with, I still respect his right to say them. Now on to Flavor Flav ,He has a crackin back catalogue of solo tracks 'Can't Do Nuttin For Ya Man' and 'Cold Lampin' are prime examples; But 'Fuck me' What's going on with this Autotune'd track??? Someone call Chuck,Dj Lord,Griff and the S.1.W's and get Flav back on track!!!

For all those who had forgotten about Ed Lover, you can catch his inimitable video blogs at www.Cmonsononline.com.Here is his End of Year 2009 wrap up edition...C'mon Son!!!
