Guru takes DJ Premier beef to the grave… or does he?
Hip-Hop Isn't Dead, Naughty Rappers, Video
Gang Starr frontman Guru has sadly passed away after losing his fight against cancer, and in doing so has left a farewell note sure to keep hip-hop conspiracy theorists stocked up with debate material for a good while to come.
In it, Guru alludes pretty directly to his ongoing beefiness with former Gang Starr producer DJ Premier…
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.
Commenters on this post are already going wild with accusations that Solar wrote the note, and that someone close to his final moments would be unable to pen such an articulate farewell. Which, until you’ve actually faced impending death yourself, is a pretty bold claim. Twitter folk, meanwhile, are proving as restrained as usual thanks to a #fucksolar hashtag.
Assuming Guru did write the letter, nobody has the right to tell someone what is/isn’t befitting for a final goodbye. However it seems sad that amongst all the thanks to fans and supporters and evident pride in his career Guru felt the need to mention the situation with Premier so publicly. But hey, who knows who I’ll be cursing as I take my final breath…
RIP Guru

I believe that the letter is phony.
If this letter is for real “Which it isnt” Then F*&(( Guru for that wack comment about Premo…There is not Guru w/out Premo and vise versa Gangstarr is what it is. For Solar to keep Guru Family away like that he was definitely up to some devilish scheme…so F**&(( U Solar. Wack Azzz
man listen.everybody no’s solar wrote this letter.solar is a weak minded person.disrespectful and man he sssuuuucccckkkkk’s as a producer.solar is the fucking devil and he will recieve what’s coming to him.but i can’t get over the fact on how much solar sucks and i can say that.cause im dope as a muthafucka.in memory of the greats we made a group called brolic in behind the infamous gangstarr drugs and big rec.youtube drugs morphine shots also lloyd banks no escape.
i dont believe the letter at all.i truly believe that even if he said some of it majority of it was written by solar.if you read it it specifically continues to emphasize solars name and then he would allow guru family to even speak or see guru…thats solars words in that letter…and whats sad is that his greed and wickedness wouldnt even allow the man to goto his grave in peace…no matter what drama guru and dj premiere went through the world will always remember gangstaar guru and dj premiere.who is solar??? homie you gon burn in hell for what you did and i believe he probably pulled the plug on guru to reep guru ryalties and benefits…sound like a suge knight did to tupac move…
@stevedomino or did Solar write the letter himself?…http://is.gd/bBPSM

Nice piece (no homo)
i’m kinnda confused myself,but i think y’all too hard on Solar. time will tell. what if Guru really wrote the letter, we don’t know.
GURU R.I.P.
You never know. They had a beef for seven years. Even Easy E and Dre made up before he died.
If it is true, He probably dont want Premier to benefit off his death. Like others did to BIGGIe, 2Pac, Big L, Big Pun, etc.
I mean somebody is going to make money off of his death, so why not let him influence who does.
GURU is no dummy. yall could say what u want, he wasnt senile.
