We’re not sure what to say about the following YouTube confessional–presented by Justin Nicholas Elam Ruff, the nephew of Gang Starr’s Keith “Guru” Elam–other than the fact that it turns a tragic situation into a legal matter, and raises some serious questions about the hoops family members have to jump through in our health care system. Since we don’t know the facts of the case, we decided to share Ruff’s side of the story and let the chips fall where they may in the coming weeks.
Whatever happens, please send some positive vibes to one of hip-hop’s most influential MCs, and if you know of some way to help this poor kid, feel free to contact him here.
