Sad news dawns on the hip hop world today as Hip hop legend Keith Elam known to us as Guru passed away on Monday. He was one half of the part of the rap duo Gang Starr. REAL HIPHOP !! The 43 year old who's rap name stood for 'Gifted Unlimited Rhymes Universal' , had been suffering from cancer for a while now. Guru had a cardiac arrest in early March and had been in a coma since. He apparently was in a coma before waking up to bid his family farewell. His death was reported through his partner in crime DJ Premier's blog site. Premiere tweeted:
