(AllHipHop News) Producer Solar has lashed out at growing speculation over the authenticity of a letter sent out this morning along with a press release announcing the death of revered rapper, Guru of Gangstarr.
Solar, who was a partner with Guru in the 7Grand Record label, broke the news today (April 20th) that Guru had succumbed to cancer yesterday morning (April 19th) after battling the disease for several years.
Many fans have questioned a final letter from Guru, who allegedly refused to acknowledge group member, DJ Premier, who produced the majority of Gangstarr’s classic tracks.
"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,” Guru allegedly wrote before his death. “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.”
In addition to his death, the controversial statement has left fans doubting if Guru, born Keith Elam, would issue such harsh words while he was sick with cancer and undergoing treatment.
“Guru made this statement from his own mouth and anybody saying different is insane with Hate!” Solar Tweeted today (April 20th).
Drama aside, fans and friends reacted in shock about the news of Guru’s sudden death.
"Guru Rest in Peace. Good times good memories. Wish we had reconnected one last time. Farewell fam,” Masta Ace said.
"R.I.P GURU LOVE YOU MY BROTHER the World Will Miss You!!!! WE LOST A Great Man and a Big Part OF HIP HOP History!!!" Fat Joe added.

Despite controversy surrounding the authenticity of a final letter from the late Keith “Guru” Elam, the family of the Hip-Hop veteran has decided to release a statement.
Guru's sister Patricia Elam has released a statement that she wants circulated to his dedicated fans detailing his final days before succumbing to his illness.
It reads,
“The Elam family wishes to thank the fans of our son/brother/father uncle/nephew/cousin Keith aka GURU for the outpouring of love, concern and support.
Our hearts are broken by the loss of someone we loved so much. GURU was devoted to his young son, who will most keenly feel his absence.
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.
GURU died far too young but he was, and we are, proud of all his many legendary musical contributions.
The family is not aware of any foundations established by GURU. We know and understand that countless fans want to express their condolences and love and, to that end, we are planning a memorial event in the near future that will be all-inclusive. Please look for further details from the family as they become available.
from The Elam Family"
More more interesting note that i noticed. In the letter he mentions a foundation for kids. Ive seen Solar mention that in a interview on youtube that it is his foundation.
I just read something where Solar says Guru was diagnosed with cancer over a year ago so he's been writing that letter in preparation for this moment... So, what the fuck was that whole shit about when he said Guru woke from his coma??
thanks for the update shifter
solar definitely is one shady figure, so guru never woke out of the coma? and never had a foundation for kids? that some shit....... how is someone tryin to capitalize off this? solar has no respect for Guru, thats is becoming more and more apparent
RIP Guru
To be honest, if all this shit about Solar is true it makes me respect Guru a lot less for doing what he was told, god all this shit coming out now, fucking depressing
foul. straight up and down
Good grief.Quote:
