I did. But i still have my guyanese passport. Birth certificate etc. 

An actively used passport is an issue.  A Jamaican traveled in the days before we were tracked, using a Jamaican passport on arrival in Jamaica, to pay a lower airport fee. Upon return to JFK they pulled out the same passport by mistake and the immigration agents smiled with a conspiratorial grin and told them "wrong passport".

Now that we are pre-cleared prior to landing in the USA and our entire trip is visible I will suggest to people that they shouldn't use their foreign passports as anything other than "in country" ID when they return home.  This is just more information that Homeland Security will have, and who knows how it will be used.

You do not have to renounce your foreign citizenship, but you shouldn't be actively using it either.  The USA doesn't recognize dual citizenship.
