Update on Keith "Guru" Elam

Alright, so one million tweets since my last post, here's the current state of his situation to the best of my understanding.
I'm sure you all heard by now that Guru's surgery on March 1st went well and he is expected to have a full recovery. "Sources close to Guru told AllHipHop.com that the rapper is doing “fine” and should make a full recovery, despite chatter on the Internet that the 43-year-old artist had died." (fools on Twitter spreading false news like usual). It then goes on to say that "Guru's partner DJ Premier also confirmed the news on his official Twitter page."
One thing to understand here is that, the Twitter page they are speaking about (@DJPremierBlog) is not Premo's but a loyal fan of his named 'gimantalonot' from Belgium
(Most official twitter accounts of celebrities and such are becoming Verified Accounts slowly which help these situations and stops confusion).

'gimantalon' still seems to be one of the most reliable sources and hasn't really done any harm in any case. He has in fact brought some new insight to the situation as he posted a video by Guru's nephew, Justin Nicholas-Elam Ruff, Twitter @JustinNElamRuff (See Below)
This video simply shows that Guru's musical partner, "Super Producer Solar" is a bit sketchy and somethings definitely wrong here.

I feel bad for Guru's nephew who is trying his best to be granted access to something one should never have to ask for, and that's the right to know about your own damm family! I will never understand the American Health Care System and how Solar can have so much control being his Health Care Agent but in any case...
Solar, along with Yo-PR are going to have some real explaining to do once this all settles.


NOW
After all this confusion and debate, Guru's no rookie to rumours. Whether it be with Premo or the present Solar, its besides the point.
If Guru wants to clear it all up with us, he will do so when he gets better. If he doesn't, then he doesn't.
Forget about all the behind the scenes bullshit.
I just hope we can all wish him the best because no matter what he's like or what the others are like around him, his music is whats important to us and that can never be ruined. He is respected and adored by the entire Hip-Hop community and always will be. His skills are flawless and that's all that really counts.
