Yep. Lost one of the first intellectual thinkers of rap.

Do you believe he wrote the somewhat controversial letter from his death bed?

Heck naw. Solar is looking like a smoove b______ right about now, because I don't see how Gang Starr could split (with no real beef) and then get such a bitter ending, with Solar's name all over the joint, popping out of left field, like he's hang-gliding off Guru's nutsack.

I'm a litle bitter. I think Solar wrote it, I think Preemo knows it, I think any actual hip-hop head knows it, and I think that Solar has a supreme intergalactic 'sswhuppin' coming his way, by way of either Karma...or some hardcore GS afficionados.

Eff Solar.

Same way I feel. We discussed this letter today and I just cannot see it being written by Guru. Especially not when you consider the nature of the letter and the fact that Elam was in a coma. It's sad that in death this had to become an issue. Just really sad and unfortunate.

If I am Preemo I wouldn't even comment on the matter.
