– My loyal best friend, partner and brother, Solar, has been at my side through it all and has been made my health proxy by myself on all matters relating to myself. He has been with me by my side on my many hospital stays, operations, doctors visits and stayed with me at my home and cared for me when I could not care for myself. Solar and his family is my family and I love them dearly and I expect my family, friends, and fans to respect that, regardless to anybody’s feelings on the matter.
Om DJ Premier skriver Guru angivelig følgende:
– 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. 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. As the sole founder of Gang Starr, I am very proud of what Gang Starr has meant to the music world and fans.
Guru slapp sitt seneste soloalbum ifjor sommer og platen Jazzmatazz vol. 4: The Hip-Hop Jazz Messenger: Back to the Future i 2007. Utgivelsene fikk lite oppmerksomhet.
Min Gang Starr-favorittlåt/video er «Mass Appeal» fra 1994s Hard to Earn.
Mannen med hip-hops mest unike stemme = Gåsehud 4 Life:
Fun fact 1 på en trist dag: Regissøren av denne klasssiske videoen er koreografen Diane Martel, som i dag er en av de hotteste i musikkvideogamet, med blant andre Britney Spears (se), Ne-Yo, Ciara, Pussycat Dolls, Robyn, The White Stripes, The Killers, Beyonce, Pixie Lott og Alicia Keys på CV-en.

En undervurdert godbit fra Guru og DJ Premier (med Premo på sitt beste) er «All 4 tha Ca$h» fra 1999.
Rull nedover og lytt:
Oppdatert: DJ Scratch, kjent via blant annet duoen EPMD, twitrer at Guru har vært i koma i to måneder, og at (han tror) at Guru ikke har skrevet brevet.
