El Jefe Uno Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 i wonder how much solar had to do with that letter? it really seemed like he went out of his way on his deathbed to let every one know how much he is beefed out with premier. RIP regardless. Gifted Unlimited Rhymes Universal I see Solar all over that letter. That entire letter is suspect.. Regardless, RIP to a true legend and inspiration.

handsofdoom Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 In the letter, seen below, the rapper explains his illness, expresses gratitude to supporters and offers some parting words for DJ Premiere. 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. R.I.P this is made up, Guru didn't write it. he's been in a coma for over two months, and some of his close friends publicly stated it was false on the interweb.

CityonSMASH Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 you know this fucking Solaar guy is really annoying, and they keep using the word "partner" apparently neither one is/was married and im reading reports that guru and solaar may have been homosexuals. and perhaps the cancer was not cancer at all, but rather aids. there is no actual documentation of cancerous blood cells on file for him, but there was an hiv text taken 6 years ago with no public results made. may be a case of respect overshadowing gay, and his homies around him kept it a secret.

!@#$% Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 and the fighting begins.......

Guru is responsible for putting me on to an entire plethora of music(underground) that i might have never gotten into. i can't believe this shit though. terrible fucking news. first caught wind this morning while driving and had to pull over straight up.
