#RIPGURU and #FUCKSOLAR (it should just be all about GURU)


I'd rather be wrong than believe that Guru wrote this death bed letter. Seriously. And I'm not alone.

As soon as I saw it this morning, I called bullshit. I couldn't understand why blogs were running with it as fact. Nah homie. If you post that letter, you better throw in some sort of a "this is probably bullshit" disclaimer but it is probably bullshit. In order for me to believe that letter, it would need to be notarized by Jesus (yes, God's son), while being filmed by F. Gary Gray, with three Supreme Court Justices, the Pope and my mother present. Even then I'd still be skeptical if Solar was in the room.

As if the intro isn't odd enough with the "I, Guru", the letter reads as a love letter to Solar. I just find it hard to believe that no matter how much drama he had with DJ Premier that these would have been his last words. I can't believe that.

Are we really suppose to believe this statement, "The work I have done with Solar represents a legacy far beyond its time and is my most creative and experimental to date." Really? So, we're suppose to accept Solar now? Man, fuck that dude.

None of us really know what went down with him and DJ Premier but I can't believe Guru penned these words and tossed him under the bus like that.

If this letter was written by Guru (this is probably bullshit) and I was Solar (who is definitely bullshit), I would have tucked it away and NEVER shared it because based on the last few months (full of bullshit), anything coming from his camp is shady (and smells like bullshit).

After re-reading the letter, I decided to replace DJ Premier with Solar and vice versa. It reads a little better.
I do not wish my ex-DJ Solar 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 ... The work I have done with Solar DJ Premier 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!
It just bothers me that someone would muddy another person's name in death and it's most likely for money (hellooooooooo rights to masters and such).

Anyway, to end on a positive note, rest in peace GURU!
