Oh come on, how you gonna make up something like that? Doctors and medical records would be quickly used to prove that ish false.

SCNDLS said:

With all of these stories of certain people on the down low, you really can't tell.

TonyVanDam said:

Before today have you or anyone else heard any "stories" about Guru's orientation?

sosgemini said:

I notice you didn't answer my question but that's ok. Guru is gone now and I just hope that his soul is at peace.

As for the rest of it, we'll learn the truth soon enough because by putting that letter out there, Solar has invited inquiries from people far more curious and suspicious than I am.

HatrinaHaterwitz said:

Look, I'm not the type of person to dissect everyone's post and respond to every single word (like others *cough cough*). LOL I think my response clearly acknowledged your point but if it makes your day any brighter, your correct, know one to this point beyond Solar has verified he came out of his comma. Happy?

My fav Gangstarr collaboration:

SCNDLS said:

Thank you. I wish people would not make assumptions about his sexual orientation, even *if* he was gay, that's no one's business. ANyway, I can't believe this shit. He was one of my favorite rappers, he was so awesome with Premo, they made wonderful songs together, especially "Full Clip", "It's a Jazz Thing", "Words that I Manifest", "Mass Appeal", etc. RIP Guru!!!!!

sosgemini said:

My bad. I didn't realize our little discussion had anything to do me...personally. But since you asked, no I'm not happy and my day isn't any brighter. Guru is still gone and I still think that letter is bullshit...period!

If you'd like to discuss that as adults...we can. If you just want to get immature and childish about it...we can do that too but I'd prefer not to sully this thread with that. My Orgnotes work just fine. You're welcome to

R.I.P. Guru.

Timmy, this is bullshit!!! I can't believe this...

NastradumasKid said:

Me either. I thought he was recovering.

HatrinaHaterwitz said:

For what it's worth Hatrina: The letter may be a dictation of his last words or a forgery. But GURU is "NOTORIOUS" (No Chris Wallace) for holding grudges and going on and on about peers that have wronged him. One of my friends after a studio session spent a night sparking up with Guru.

He said Guru would not be quiet about Premier. He kept going on and on about Premo. We are talking literally hours. Guru's mellow image was just that, a facade. He despised the association of Gangstarr. That much is clear.

There is even a recent video interview where he scolds the interviewer on video of bringing up any instance of Gangstarr or the name of Dj Premier. Solar latched onto Guru's bitterness in the last remaining years. But as far as Guru not holding a grudge in death? I dont see it. He was one angry dude about Gangstarr and Premier legacy. I can honestly see Guru in Heaven still badmouthing Premier to St Peter

St. Peter:Welcome Guru
Guru: Peace, that dj isn't coming soon is he?
St.Peter: I will have to check the register
Guru: Better not be! Or there will be problems
St. Peter: It says here Dj Premier will be here with us 30 years from now.
Guru: Yo, why did you say his name?
St. Peter: Who?? Dj Premier?
Guru: You said it fuckin again!! DOnt EVER say that name to me.
St. Peter: I apologize
Guru: Where's the studio? I need to work on Jazzamatazz 5
St. Peter: The studio is in your imagination
Guru: What the fuck, St Peter? Where is the studio? Don't make me smack you
Son
St Peter: There should be a temporal one a few yards where you are standing. We appreciate your work with Gangstarr. It's legendary here. Jimi loves it
Guru: Yo, Gangstarr? What the fuck? What about my solo work?
St. Peter: Sorry, I did not get around to listening to it.
Jimi: ::Walks up: Dig, These are the words I manifest
Guru: What the fuck JIMI? That was over 20 years ago! Would you want me to come up to you and say Foxy Lady was your best tune. Just leave me alone man
Jimi: .....
::another figure walks through the gates to greet Guru:
2pac: My Nigga! Just to get a REP is my SHIIIIT!!! :starts laughing:
Guru: What the fuck Tu? I did more than that work with THAT DJ!
2pac:Premier? What the fuck is your problem,NIGGA
Guru: My work with Solar is legendary.
2pac: My bad nigga, I didnt know you made strides in Solar Technology.
Guru: What the fuck? Even fucking Heaven is not letting my recent work be heard
St. Peter: Language gentlemen!
Guru: Shut the fuck up Peter before I choke you with that halo!
St. Peter: :sighs: I think we made a mistake

for real..
sometimes you can tell. sometimes you can't.

but whatever his proclivities were,him and Preemo= winning combination for hip-hop

Trickology said:

Damn, you ain't right but you are right. Dude was, sad to say, mad bitter for YEARS and cut ties with a LOT of people for any slight, real or imagined.

So, I'ma agree with you on this, but damn you ain't right.

I wished he and Premier had worked out their differences before these unfortunate events took place.

Timmy84 said:

I was seriously hoping that get back together and do what they do best.

Trickology said:

Thanks for the bit of levity here.

SCNDLS said:

I know right ? This shit is getting ridiculous....

He spins daily here.....in one form or another....and will continue to do so.

R.I.P. to one of the dopest to ever handle the the mic. His music lives ON.

banks said:

Seriously, not every damn rapper is on the "down low".

SCNDLS said:

It may not be right but did you see the allhip hop interview he did? You want to talk about awkward. Everytime the interviewer tried to bring up a track from the Gangstarr Era, it was brutal.

http://allhiphop.com/stor...98868.aspx

This dispells any myth that Guru was a calm individual regarding Gangstarr. This interview is evidence that Guru kept a dictatorship mentality on the subject of Premier or Gangstar or the recordings. And for anyone wondering why Guru's press was scant? No one wanted to deal with that shit.

Solar was like his Larry Graham :Falloff:

Trickology said:

WOW!!!

Trickology said:

You definitely ain't right for that!!!!

A song that inspired me to get serious about being a b-boy

RIP GURU

Trickology said:

Now you KNOW you ain't right for that one!!!

Thanks for link.

Trickology said:

Damn, why you gotta bring Larry into this??? This is officially when the thread imploded never to return.

No, I didn't see this interview (i'ma watch it now) but I was around him frequently in the 90s and Keith was intense to say the least and a dog with a bone if he felt insulted. I loved him to death but that shit got on my nerves so I just ignored him when he got in his moods. He was definitely one of them "Is he gonna hug me or choke me" type nuccas. But he had a really sweet side too and hearing that voice growling in my ear . . .

Damn my ass dyslexic
