Lost one of the greats. So happy I got to see Gangstarr at Heaven one night.
As for the letter and Solar who knows - it pains me to think that he would have gone out like that after all he and Preem did.
btw, what does 'partner' mean in this context? Was he gay?
and i assume Solar is not the same as Solaar?

Rest In Peace Guru.
And I'm totally with the others - that letter reeks of filthy Solar and his bullshit, not believing that for a fuckin second.
Going back and listening to all these tracks again is making me sad. Fuck he was dope.
Regardless of his sexual orientation, the man could rock it!

Such a shame that this is going to smear Guru's legacy.
Primo is a class act. Staying out of it. Very well done.
Gangstarr are the bomb.
GURU suffered from multiple myeloma for over a year. Accrued complications from this illness led to respiratory failure and cardiac arrest. As a result, GURU was in a coma from mid February until his death and never regained consciousness. Early on the morning of April 19th, he became hypertensive due to low blood pressure. He again went into cardiac arrest and slipped away from us.

"Gangstarr, one of the best yet"
THE best, imo
Classy statement from Preemo and dig the subtle shot at Solar
hip hop doesn't get any more hip hop than Guru killing a Premo beat.
he's not even going to rock up to the funeral?!

this is getting beyond ridiculous, well it has for a while. All the talk of Guru and his life from those who are close to him to the Hip Hop media to even humble threads as our own are focused on the Solargate/was he down with Premogate bullshit. It seems from reports that Solar has brought it on himself, and has succeeded in taking away what should be a celebration of Guru's life to "Look at me, look at me" syndrome.
Heavily biased I know, but it looks (from what I have read) that Premo is the only person in New York that has something real to say.
Guru was an MC. A founding father of one of the best crews (repping all 4 elements) in New York and later a pinnacle part of what would become one of if not the best Hip Hop DJ/MC acts of all time, the one and only Gang Starr. Jazz Hop was his passion, and he will never be forgotten as "one of the best yet". I hope history will not remember the fiasco that has stained the man's legacy at present.
Just had to get that off my chest.....
Pz

Solar 'uhh yeah to the most part yeah'
Wondering if this shit is gonna stop prem from touring out here on the next tour? I hope not.
Personally I can't wait to see a Guru tribute in Premo's set!!!
Tony touch tribute on his radio show TOCA Tuesdays
Tony Touch dedicated last night’s show on Shade 45 to the late Guru. During the four hours on air, here’s what went down.

Yeah... like the information on a site called "fuck solar" is going to be the most accurate and unbiased source of news.
I mean, sure, my site www.fuckmacro.com is an honest and accurate portrayal, but that's because I want to fuck Macro...
i bet you're one of the dudes scalping Metallica tickets too arent ya!
This is just like a mixtape but instead of scratching with records, 33 1/3 scratches the video. It's a good selection of vid's and a good tribute.
"I did this a couple of weeks ago and was just going to sit on it...but
It's now been a full month since Guru passed and I still have a hard time
believing he's not here. I am a big fan of Guru/Gangstarr, so this is how
I paid my respects. The mix is just under 50 minutes long, enjoy."
