Were they lovers? Guru & Solar?
So sad to see this play out this way
RIP Guru
anything worth having is HARD TO EARN
SMH…I’M DONE
you can still have a funeral being cremated
THIS STORY GETS STRANGER AND STRANGER!!!! SMH!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
WHERE THEY GAY?
NIGGAZ MATCHING AND SHIT?
I KNOW THEY(him and solar) IN THE SAME GROUP? BUT, THEY LOOKED A LIL FUNNY TOGETHER.
PREEM PROBABLY KNOWS BUT WANT TO RESPECT HIS HOMIE?
SOLAR SOUNDS GAY ANYWAY, THAT WHOLE SITUATION IS FUNNY.
ALL DUE RESPECT IF YOU ARE GAY BUT, BE A MAN AND BE HONEST ABOUT YOUR SHIT AND STAY ON YOUR SIDE.
DO YOUR HOMEWORK HIP-HOPERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SMH…I’M DONE
^ this
they could have had an open casket
a ceremony for family,friends,fans…give people a last chance to see him
i dont get it … whats wrong with his family,solar and the relationship with primo
nothing has been done the right way !
damn yo!!!…..whose gonna keep the ashes? sum1 has to get to the bottom of this ASAP….some hip hop investigative journalism
Are you implying that the cremation means there’s no funeral, because that’s no so. Or do you know more?
In all honesty, Guru is dead. However he lead his life was his business. If he didn’t feel the need to disclose it in life, than it’s no ones right to do so now that he’s dead. Respect the Man.
@mac diesel we already know u like men
@ iceyjesse
YA NAME IS ICEYJESSE N I’M GAY??? HA!!!! SMH!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
This entire saga has played out in the oddest of ways. And yes, I realize that’s an understatement.
He probably had aids, thats why this was rushed so no 1 would find out, and maybe Guru used
Solar to keep it hidden. Don’t hate on me for my comment, I never really known who Guru was
anyway I’m only 22.(and to the young guys jumping on the bandwagon >>C’MONSON<<)
@mac diesel just came out the closet on rap radar…….
This whole situation seems mad creepy to me. It’s sad because Guru/Gang starr is so iconic to me. I hate even speculating on this but Solar’s relationship with Guru’s is very Pause worthy. No man is this much involved in another man’s personal life unless you are dealing with a dying father, son or “partner”. Solar fits only one of those categories…
@ apple juice
NAH, YA DAD DID!!!! THAT’S WHY HE NAMED U APPLE JUICE!!!! FAGGOT!!!! HA!!!! APPLE JUICE???? SMH!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
Chill yall
This was done because he looked so bad. well one of the reasons. This had nothing to do with Solar. Solar wasn’t in charge
ALL YALL HATERS CAN FUCK OFF!!!!! IM PROUD TO BE GAY SO YOU SHOULD RESPECT IT!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
[…] RR Share & […]
BUHAHAHAHA!!!! FUNNY HOW NIGGAS TRY TO DISS mac DIESEL!!!! HA!!!! NEVER HAPPEN!!!! I’M TOO ILL!!!! SUCH DUMMIES!!!! SMH!!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
Cremate me. People look hella fake when they’re dead. I’d never want that to be the last way people remember me.
Not questioning the cremation. Just wondering why there’s isn’t gonna be a wake or something so family & loved one’s can pay their respects. If I personally knew Guru I’d want that for him. Shit, I don’t personally know him..I’m just a fan yet I want that for him.
@mac DIESEL hahahahah
@mac DIESEL I’m proud of you man for opening up.
@amazinace wtf does sound gay mean? what does sound straight mean? what does sound black or sound white mean? you need to stop that bullshit stereotyping
We don’t know that these guys were a DL couple and i could care less but it would explain a lot of things. My only agenda is the TRUTH
With regarding Homophobia in the Hip-Hop Community, people just need to understand that being gay is not a choice and completely natural, as can be proven by FACTS.
Educate yourself about gay people i.e. have a conversation with someone who is gay or watch a film, read an article. IGNORANCE BREEDS HATE as does SOCIAL SEGREGATION.
My opinion:
Guru seemed kinda ultra-masculine but he also stayed out of the spotlight, both contend that he meant to keep his sexuality/orientation or whatever u want to call it concealed while he was alive.
Just the possibility that A rap LEGEND feels he has to conceal part of his IDENTITY to his own hip-hop community because of pervasive homophobia and serious hate/ hate crimes. Doesn’t that make you a little sick?

Click on that link above
should explain
Yeah, this shit is getting stranger by the hour… it’s sad to think that Guru may be remembered more for the strange events surrounding his death, rather than the great emcee that he was. Solar needs to quit dragging a dead man’s name through the mud, especially considering that his family said he never regained consciousness.
I really hope guru wasn’t queer bait
Did Mac just come out of the Closet on Rap Radar? Wow….see that’s all they needed was proof of ONE gay rapper and it’s gonna’ be a wrap. Please Preemo keep that shit off the Radar. What kinda cat leaves his son to a fucking dude that’s not even his blood? Nigga please…suspect like hell dude. I’ll just leave that shit alone…just wanted to point that out. Fuck it.
^^^ I need to know more about this
@ DunkDonDaDa….this is the letter that Solar Says was a collection of thoughts from GURU…when Sway asked him, he said something about his hands being bad or whatever…but these were not his actual words…Hmmmm, still. PARTNER…Whatever…you decide.. here it is..
I, Guru, am writing this letter to my fans, friends and loved ones around the world. I have had a long battle with cancer and have succumbed to the disease. I have suffered with this illness for over a year. I have exhausted all medical options.
I have a non-profit organization called Each One Counts dedicated to carrying on my charitable work on behalf of abused and disadvantaged children from around the world and also to educate and research a cure for this terrible disease that took my life. I write this with tears in my eyes, not of sorrow but of joy for what a wonderful life I have enjoyed and how many great people I have had the pleasure of meeting.
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. It is my wish that counts. This being said I am survived by the love of my life, my sun KC, who I trust will be looked after by Solar and his family as their own. Any awards or tributes should be accepted, organized approved by Solar on behalf myself and my son until he is of age to except on his own.
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 GangStarr, I am very proud of what GangStarr has meant to the music world and fans. I equally am proud of my Jazzmatazz series and as the father of Hip-Hop/Jazz. I am most proud of my leadership and pioneering efforts on Jazzmatazz 4 for reinvigorating the Hip-Hop/Jazz genre in a time when music quality has reached an all time low. Solar and I have toured in places that I have never been before with GangStarr or Jazzmatatazz and we gained a reputation for being the best on the planet at Hip-Hop/Jazz, as well as the biggest and most influential Hip-Hop/Jazz record with Jazzmatazz 4 of the decade to now. The work I have done with Solar represents a legacy far beyond its time. And we as a team were not afraid to push the envelope. To me this is what true artists do! As men of honor we stood tall in the face of small mindedness, greed, and ignorance. As we fought for music and integrity at the cost of not earning millions and for this I will always be happy and proud, and would like to thank the million fans who have seen us perform over the years from all over the world. The work I have done with Solar represents a legacy far beyond its time and is my most creative and experimental to date. I hope that our music will receive the attention it deserves as it is some of the best work I have done and represents some of the best years of my life.
All this shit is creepy to me…and yo, mac DIESEL, r u really gay dawg? Not sayin’ anything’s wrong with it, do u. I’m jus curious if u were playin around to piss niggaz off or being serious…
If you wanna know more about Guru in his earlier days, talk to a friend/acquaintance named Will Roberson.
He knew guru from the early gangstarr days and said that guru had a relationship with an african cat who contracted aids.
Wow.. Just crazy how one person can make changes and shut out the person’s immediately family.
R.I.P. Guru
Some guys think Guru was gay ? Is it true ?

DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
Man.. Who did start this rumor that guru was gay? I have read all reports the same day the word was out that he was dead and I didnt see any talk about that they was together! The firtst time I heard it was yesterday when MTV did that interview with Solar.
I think all was a really smal rumor and now have turn out to the main topic. It’s sad..
I still belive the whole thing about the letter to the fans is that Solar wants money and cred. No other shit.
R.I.P Guru
this is is supect beyond belief nuff said
Just Blaze mentioned on Twitter, “FYI (Solar) ran off with the body to get it cremated before it could be autopsied. The family tried to get it and couldnt. He was out.”
From the outside looking in, Solar does seem shady and it looks like he is hiding something. However, there is a possibility that Guru might not wanted a funeral. Maybe he wanted to be cremated; which I don’t have a problem with. Also, if the attending physician feels comfortable in the cause of death then an autopsy is not necessary.
Hopefully, the truth will come out sooner than later.

@mac DIESEL
My bad nigga! LMAO!!! That nigga had everybody goin.
@ mac DIESEL
What?
yo, R.I.P,
we need a chance to cheer our legend, whats up with solar, little bitch, die nameless!
This is tinting Guru’s legacy – correction; that motherfucker solar is tinting Guru’s legacy. Dude was just cremated and everyone debating on whether he was homo or not because this motherfucker can’t even handle an interview without setting off alarm bells, retarded bastard.
it all came from here: http://diaryofahollywoodstreetking.com/the-real-solar-guru-gang-starr-story-rip-guru/
Really? no Funeral?
Check this from HSK:
Shocking further developments are coming to light in the wake following the death of the Gangstarr legendary MC Guru.
Reports are coming into HSK that when Guru’s father, the Honorable Harry J. Elam, a former prominent lawyer from Boston and a retired Massachusetts superior court justice, called to recover the body from John “Solar” Mo’Sher, Solar said that he was taking the body upstate for a private memorial.
Judge Elam immediately made claim to the body and asked Solar to “return the body at once”, to which Solar replied that he would return the body if Elam Sr. called off the Elam nephew from continuing to make statements and videos about Solar. Claims which Solar continues to call false.
Judge Elam’s reply, “I don’t have time for these childish games, send my sons body home immediately.”
Following this exchange the police were sent and Guru’s body was recovered and is currently on its way back to Boston, to his family and to lay in honor as they see fit.
Not only should Solar return the body with-out delay, but Solar should return to the family all rights supposedly passed on to him from Guru on his deathbed. These should be held by the family in TRUST until KC is of legal age to handle himself.
This guy Solar, who HSK staff have personally met and traveled with is a NUT job. What is going on in his peas size brain is very troubling to say the least. Now that Guru is no longer around to protect him it might be time for dude to vanish on his own before someone does it for him.
[…] No Funeral For Guru […]
I am a huge fan of Gangstarr and I heard Solar’s side of the story and this is just a thought Solar is telling the truth… Guru was not close to his family, he had many people betray him and stabbed him in the back so when he became ill Solar is who he turned too for help cause he was the only person who never turned on him, I believe it because I’m in the same situation.
Man it sord of hurts in a way because no matter what at his age he kept coming. It was another one of those
situations that came out of no where i definetly didnt expect this one at all.i was in my first year of high school 1990 his music was popen,but we know where he is now and will all see him again watch.
Reading some of these comments is shocking, some ppl have no respect , from the cup you pour from the cup you will recieve, may god give you guidance, bless GURU R.I.P big man..
IT IS SOOOO SAD TO READ SOME OF THESE COMMENTS ABOUT A HIP-HOP ICON IN DEATH..ALL NEGATIVITY SHOULD BE KEPT TO ONES SELF!!…DONT MATTER IF YOUR 22 OR 102..TO WRITE SOME OF THIS STUFF ON HERE IS PATHETIC ON YOUR PART…FUCK YOUR OPINIONS GURU LEFT US WITH CLASSIC MUSIC SO MATTER WHAT HIS SITUATION WAS ITS NOBODYS BIZ..ONLY BITCH NIGGAS WORRY WHATS UP WITH THE NEXT MAN..IF IT AINT YOU DONT WORRY..TODAYS GENERATION..STRAIGHT LAMES…SHOW SOME RESPECT AND IF YOU DONT KNOW ABOUT GURU AND HIS LEGACY DO YOUR HOMEWORK..THEN MAYBE YOU COULD SHOW SOME RESPECT!!!!….CHAIN AND THE STARS FOREVER..R.I.P KEITH ELAM AKA GURU OF GANGSTARR!!!
