^and fuck this solar bitch ass who wrote this letter obviously ( this dude want me to believe that those are Guru's last words?! ) :

(..) I do not wish my ex-DJ to have anything to do with my name likeness, events tributes etc. (...) 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 (...)

I just cant believe that now - Gang Starr is no more

that letter is super-suspect. many childhood memories with gangstarr playing in my headphones.

[V-F!]

It's mostly tha voice, that gets you up
It's mostly tha voice, that makes you buck
A lot of rappers got flavor, and some got skills
But if your voice ain't dope then you need to [chill... chill... ]

His voice will be dearly missed.

Talent beyond words, and such a critical element in this continuous evolution... RIP bredren.

...

that being said, the letter is just flat out odd. No disrespect to the wishes of the deceased but Solar will never be a part of the GangStarr legacy.

RIP

RIP.
I saw GURU on the Jazzmatazz tour on 1995 and I have very warm memories of that gig. One of my all time favourite MC's.

The last will letter? Word, I thought it was suspicious, too, and all, but then I remembered that you can still write when you're in a coma. So that clears all suspicion for me...

Dj Premier commented on Guru's death.

It was a sad day for me to get confirmation on the death of a man who I will continue to call my brother, Keith Elam, better known as Guru of the legendary Gang Starr. From 1988-2004, we experienced so much success together that we were able to expand our businesses independently and give each other what Guru called 'creative space,' before planning to reunite for our seventh LP when the time was right. Tragically, we will never reach that day.

I've been asked to comment on a letter speaking ill of me which was supposedly written by Guru in his dying days. All I will say about it is that our time together was beautiful, we built a hip-hop legacy together, and no one can re-write history or take away my love for him. One thing I would never do is play around with the truth about his life.

I will celebrate Guru's life ... I will honor his memory ... I will grieve with the Elam family over his untimely death ... I will remember the Gang Starr foundation and all of the original members of Gang Starr who came before me — we all know each other ... mostly, I will cherish everything we created together as Gang Starr, forever. I'm gonna miss hearing his signature monotone voice when he walks in the room, but the songs will always bring it back to me ... His rhyme flows were insane, and I will never remove him from my heart and soul. Rest in peace to the man who felt 'satisfaction from the street crowd reaction.' I love you Goo ... DJ Premier.
