(AllHipHop News) Revered rapper Guru released a statement to AllHipHop.com today (March 3) as he recovers from surgery after suffering a heart attack over the weekend.

Guru, born Keith Elam, was briefly comatose due to the heart attack. Doctors successfully operated on the 43-year-old MC on Tuesday (March 2).

"I am doing fine and I am recovering! I'm weak though,” Guru told AllHipHop.com in a statement today. “Solar is the only person who has the accurate info on my situation. Any info from anybody else is false! I appreciate your well wishes and all the love!"

Guru and his family are asking for privacy as he recovers and stressed for fans to continue to send prayers, thoughts and love.

His partner Solar echoed Guru’s comments about the need for privacy but told fans the outlook is positive for the rapper.

Additionally, only Solar will have access to Guru and accurate information regarding the status of his health.

"Guru is resting and doing well after his surgery,” Solar told AllHipHop.com. “The doctors say that he will fully recover from his illness. We thank everyone who send prayers our way and we appreciate the outpouring of love from around the world!”

Solar can be reached by contacting a representative for his publicity firm, Yo-Pr.com.

I wish you a healthy & speedy recovery Guru. I don't wish health problems on anyone.

I do want to say it's a shame that Guru still tries to slight Preemo every chance he gets. He has been jealous of Preem for years & that's very sad.This dude constantly sucks solar's nuts. He always spazzes out when people bring up Preem in interviews. Ni99a you just need to face the fact that cats ain't feeling that Solar dude.Everything they put out has been wack.Solar is gabbage on the beats & your product since GangStarr has shown this.Stop letting that dude control you & stop letting him make you look like a puppet in interviews.No one has been fucking with Guru for a while now.

@NYReppin716to718
It's funny you mention the jealousy factor. I dunno what went down with Guru & Premo, but he does seem bitter in recent interviews about anything Premo, or Gangstarr related. As much as Guru is/was my dude, no rappers really called him for collabos, yet every rapper wanted a Premo beat. It seemed like yesterday when I was at the Big Pun "Yeah Baby" album release party at Jimmy Bx Cafe, and I ran into them at the bar. Both of 'em was real cool, and we was kickin' it, & tossin' 'em back like we knew each other for years.

@kazam92
I saw that video. To that I say WOW!!

..yeah that's what i was saying up there i just saw what you wrote. I think he pissed at Premo still cuz outta Gang Starr Premo always got the most attention. Let's be honest here when we hear or think about Gang Starr tracks whats 1st thing we say? Damn premo beat is hot. Prob only a few times in your life did you hear someone say dammmn you hear what Guru just said or damn Guru be flowing!! Not often and that's where i think his attitude towards Premo comes from.

@ KtruHeaterz

To build on what you said regarding Guru and Preme's rift, I think it comes down to legacy. Guru is considered a legend but only within the realm of Gang Starr. Premo is considered a legend within Gang Starr and probably a bigger one outside of Gang Starr. Even deeper, it may not be common knowledge (or maybe it is) but Guru originally started Gang Starr in Boston with Big Shug and was making records before Premo even joined the group. So, I guess in his eyes, he felt Preme was getting too much of the credit for the success of the group when it was something that HE, meaning Guru, started. Maybe there was something deeper than that, who knows? The bigger question is what kind of hold does Solar have on Guru that he got Guru talkin' slick about Preme every chance he gets? Guru and Preme has had volatile moments in their relationship. I remember back in the day, Premier was in Rap Pages (remember that mag?) talkin' about how they got into mad fistfights and even a shootout or two but the love for the music kept them bonded. I hope Guru has a speedy recovery and that somewhere down the line him and Preme can squash their beef, or at least Guru can squash his 'cause Preme ain't the one beefin'.

@oskamadison

The attention Premo got over Guru, the same can be said for Pete Rock & CL Smooth. Pete was killing the beats and CL was an incredible lyricist, but PR always got the acclaim because of his beats. Other rappers wanted a Pete beat, but outside of Heavy D, I can't think of a verse CL laid except for the PR/CL albums back in them days.

Guru might have started Gangstarr, but Premo made it what it was, and Guru handpicked Premo to be his dj/producer. I remember when people thought Guru's emcee name WAS Gangstarr (ex: Nice N Smooth's "Down The Line"). But once "Just To Get A Rep" (one of Guru's best by the way) dropped, and the Step In The Arena LP dropped, it started to be about Premo's beats. Premo MADE you wanna listen to Jeru. Premo MADE you wanna listen to Group Home (who lyrically wasn't all that). In all fairness, I haven't heard anything by Guru & Solar except some disco sounding sh*t a few years ago, and I passed. IMO he NEEDS that Premo heat in his life when he touches a mic, sans the Jazzmatazz projects.

on the real it sounds like Guru and Solar are gay by the use of the word partner and how everything's gotta go through Solar.  He's got power of attorney like a wife would have.

@NYREPPIN...

Cosign!! Dude Solar is f**kin terrible. Can't understand anything he raps about. His beats suck. Horrible! I don't think he has Guru's best interest in mind at all, and it is funny how nobody fucks with Guru anymore, but wants beats from Preme all day. I hope some day we could get another Gangstarr album. Put the bulls**t aside already. Guru get better.

@ Dookeyface
Hell of a name, by the way, lol. Yeah, Pete and CL's relationship mirrors Guru and Preme's, unfortunately. Imagine if both duos went back in ONE more time. I need that in my life right now. During the first couple of albums, say, up to Daily Operation, Preme was dope but he hadn't found his signature sound yet, so the acclaim between him and Guru was a little more balanced. It was after Preme's coming out party on KRS' Return of the Boom Bap and the subsequent work he got (Nas, Biggie, MOP, not to mention Jeru's first joint and Hard to Earn) that things shifted more toward Preme and maybe Guru gradually started resenting dude. Regardless, no one can lace Guru like Preme but Guru doesn't realize that or won't admit it.

This is to everyone...and hopefully Guru cuz I know he reads up on posts. Guru IS Hip Hop... any real head knows wassup. And everyone who shits on solar isn't only doing it cuz of primo...we do it cuz its just the real. Hes wack and wicked. Solar ain't no god..hes just flesh who has wickedness inside him and wasn't sent to Help Guru but Distract* him and now ishh has gotten so deep, dude has power of attorny...? Guru who does that!!? Heads just telling you man you gotta restore hip hop and only way is through the Roots of Gangstarr. If fag boy there solar cared for Gurus best interest for music sake and the financial sake he would say yo lets do this with primo...shake up the world and make history! but he hating on primo because he knows himself as a "producer" is wack! he creeped out the bushes and sucked onto Guru in such a slick manipulated way and solar.... that is a FACT you fag. Man nearly dies and he comes up bitter still...that comment got me like wow thats right. Look at the mishappen of Michael Jackson...he almost had that chance of making history of his come back tour...but passed. Guru ain't pass...he made it for a reason. After all these years wit fag boy he needs to use this as a switch up. Its like hes in an abusive relationship wit solar and hes so blind. We gotta pray cuz this is pathetic and sad.
Peace to all, one love.
Solar...you the devils pawn.
