sad day.

http://allhiphop.com/stories/news/archive/2010/04/20/22177912.aspx what he said to dj premier is so bitter though...

How you on your death bead and got time to shit on your boy that you made almost two decades worth of music with? Plus Solar's name was mentioned like 15 times in that letter but Guru's own flesh and blood gets' mentioned like once? Yeah, FOH Solar.

is what made it a dead give away that Guru didn't scribe that message.

Solar needs to be ashamed of himself.

Dispite it all Rest In Peace to a real icon in Hip hip music history.

His legacy will live on.

I, Guru, am writing this letter to my fans, friends and loved ones
around the
world. I have had a long battle with cancer and have succumbed to the disease. I
have suffered with this illness for over a year. I have exhausted all medical
options.

I have a non-profit organization called Each One Counts
dedicated to carrying on my charitable work on behalf of abused and
disadvantaged children from around the world and also to educate and research a
cure for this terrible disease that took my life. I write this with tears in my
eyes, not of sorrow but of joy for what a wonderful life I have enjoyed and how
many great people I have had the pleasure of meeting.

My loyal best
friend, partner and brother, Solar, has been at my side through it all and has
been made my health proxy by myself on all matters relating to myself. He has
been with me by my side on my many hospital stays, operations, doctors visits
and stayed with me at my home and cared for me when I could not care for myself.
Solar and his family is my family and I love them dearly and I expect my family,
friends, and fans to respect that, regardless to anybody�s feelings on the
matter. It is my wish that counts. This being said I am survived by the love of
my life, my sun KC, who I trust will be looked after by Solar and his family as
their own. Any awards or tributes should be accepted, organized approved by
Solar on behalf myself and my son until he is of age to except on his own.

I do not wish my ex-DJ to have anything to do with my name likeness,
events tributes etc. connected in anyway to my situation including any use of my
name or circumstance for any reason and I have instructed my lawyers to enforce
this. I had nothing to do with him in life for over 7 years and want nothing to
do with him in death. Solar has my life story and is well informed on my family
situation, as well as the real reason for separating from my ex-DJ. As the sole
founder of GangStarr, I am very proud of what GangStarr has meant to the music
world and fans. I equally am proud of my Jazzmatazz series and as the father of
Hip-Hop/Jazz. I am most proud of my leadership and pioneering efforts on
Jazzmatazz 4 for reinvigorating the Hip-Hop/Jazz genre in a time when music
quality has reached an all time low. Solar and I have toured in places that I
have never been before with GangStarr or Jazzmatatazz and we gained a reputation
for being the best on the planet at Hip-Hop/Jazz, as well as the biggest and
most influential Hip-Hop/Jazz record with Jazzmatazz 4 of the decade to now. The
work I have done with Solar represents a legacy far beyond its time. And we as a
team were not afraid to push the envelope. To me this is what true artists do!
As men of honor we stood tall in the face of small mindedness, greed, and
ignorance. As we fought for music and integrity at the cost of not earning
millions and for this I will always be happy and proud, and would like to thank
the million fans who have seen us perform over the years from all over the
world. The work I have done with Solar represents a legacy far beyond its time
and is my most creative and experimental to date. I hope that our music will
receive the attention it deserves as it is some of the best work I have done and
represents some of the best years of my life.

i say lets just celebrate the mans life legacy, and leave the solar situation to bumpy knucks...

i cant imagine him having so many negative things to say about gangstarr in his final days...i'm just gonna assume its fake cause i'd hate that to be the last public statement he made.

One of the smoothest voices ever and author of countless classics. Can't even tell you how many headphone spins Gangstarr got walking back and forth to class in college. This one hurts. Going to work on a full piece later today.

The letter's real.

It's crazy how much tea he spilled with these parting words. Including indirect references to a closeted lifestyle.

All scandals aside, R.I.P.

Such an unfortunate lost.

If you are on your death bed, how the fuck are you going sit there and write paragraphs. This all Solar and I hope someone gets that motherfucker.

i think writing a letter of that length would not be nearly as difficult as you are suggesting

don't be fkn evil.

none of you have any factual reason to doubt the veracity of this letter, other than you just not WANTING it to be true.

but to be calling Solar a scumbag and wishing him to be beat up when y'all don't know their personal history is a bit much. and kinda "sheep"ish, honestly.

"When stormfront.org became a nicer place than Okayplayer, i knew it was time to stop posting." - Flite/Jehan

and for a public figure the likes of Guru you don't have to be a close personal friend of his to formulate an opinion of what's proported to be his final words to the world after being in a coma for an long period and reportedly near his death of cancer.

More directly to your point there are close friends and family who of themselves have called the veracity of the statements Solar has attributed to Guru into question.

As has been stated its been done to lesser people with less at stake. What's sad is I personally feel the way this is going down robs Guru in death of what his life's work certainly afforded him.

i still say yes, you do. he could have written it before the coma..or at least dictated it. the point is, we don't know. we weren't by his bedside like Solar obviously was. They were close and Solar is grieving as well. It seems no one has respect for that.

>More directly to your point there are close friends and family
>who of themselves have called the veracity of the statements

of course they do cuz Guru was estranged from them! I'm sure they are quite bitter and don't like that he and Solar were so close.


>As has been stated its been done to lesser people with less at

which is a logical fallacy and has no bearing. Just because something happened to someone else is not a valid argument. that's like me saying well other people's uncles have stolen from them so mine must be. lol

What's sad is I personally feel the way this is going
>down robs Guru in death of what his life's work certainly
>afforded him.

Robs him of what? he was a human being with feelings, drama and talent. just like so many of us. what is the horrible thing that will be known now? these were his final words and what he wanted to be known about him and his life as of late. I see nothing negative in that.

Actually, we only have Solar's words that Guru was estranged from his family, an no one else's.

As a matter of fact, Guru's own nephew put up a youtube saying that Guru was one of the most instrumental men in his life. Hardly seems estranged.

Whole situation is just funky.
