Fuck Solar

I've been really bummed out about the beef that's arised after the passing of Guru last week. I came across a website called Fuck Solar, a blog "documenting Solars downfall, for Guru" which has some real interesting shit on it. This all began after the release of Guru's final letter, in which he didn't even mention DJ Premier by name, but referred to him as his "Ex-DJ" and has everyone buzzing about whether the letter was genuine.

After last week, there have been many stories and rumours coming out about Solar and his ego. The biggest one being Solar and Guru were actually gay partners, a rumour that has been strongly denied by his former partner Premier, because Guru "had so many women".

Last Wednesday, Guru's family released a statement refuting points in the letter Solar released, including mention of a dodgy charity organization. DJ Premier released his own statement expressing his love for his former music partner.

During a radio “salute” to his fallen Gang Starr cohort, Premier repeatedly disparaged Solar, writing him off as a jealous opportunist.

Solar, for his part, stands by Guru’s authorship of the letter, yet he distanced himself from the remarks and said he now has to make the best decisions for the current situation.

“At the end of the day, Guru’s statement is Guru’s statement, and that’s Guru,” he said. “I’m my own man, just like he was his own man. I have to make decisions as life goes on that’s beneficial to all involved. I haven’t had a chance to sit down with DJ Premier. Hopefully now will be the time, in the near future, even on this particular matter, and speak on things. It’s my intention that everybody understand I foster the concepts of peace and harmony. And I believe as time goes on and feelings settle that this will happen. And willfully, this benefit concert will be one way of speeding that along.”

Back peddling Solar? I'll let you decide.
