Guru wrote a letter to his fans
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.
Larry King may have had an affair with his wife's sister. Dude is still getting it in at 76, wow I can't front I know a lot of guys are envious right now. Did you see the jump off Shannon she is fine at 48. Sorry about the cheating but Larry King gets a thumbs up for having the stamina at 76. Go Larry! Or should I say Larry Love.....lol
On the right is Larry King with Shannon his wife's sister
Wiz Khalifa's fans go crazy over his latest mixtape Kush and Orange Juice. They even made him a trending topic on twitter and also a google trend. A great look for an artist that left his label.

In other news Nas has been ordered to pay upwards of $300,000 in back fees to his ex Kelis. This dude can't win in court.
Also make sure you checkout Ray J and Brandy on their new show with VH 1. I heard its a good watch or something like that. I'm not into TV though so enjoy, I will watch clips online....lol
John Forte is making some great music. I had the chance to checkout his website www.johnforte.com and to my surprise his music has really grown and he was playing the guitar and everything. He doesn't seem to have a problem getting booked for shows because he is currently on tour with Wale and Kanann. Just take a minute and listen to his music it's really good.
Usher does it again, his third straight number one album selling over 300,000 copies in the first week. Great look for him even though I'm not really checking for the new stuff.
