ATG sizes it all up.
This is the most ugly, personal rap beef I've seen since 50 v. Rick Ross. Things are so digital right now.
To recap: Solar is/was Guru's handler/friend/creative partner during hip-hop legend, Guru's final stages of life. When Guru passed, an ominous statement emerged and many assumed Solar was its real author because it was poorly written and Guru's friends were pessimistic about its content. Hip-hop is then predisposed to disliking Solar because the letter attacks beloved talent and Guru cohort, DJ Premier.
Solar's family questions the letter. Details emerge that Guru never regained consciousness following a widely publicized heart attack, despite Solar's reports to the contrary. Now Solar seems like, well, kind of a dick. Add the self-important attitude and wack aesthetic (color-tinted shades, mainly) and he becomes an easy target.
But really, that seemed to be about as far as this story could go. Solar is a shady dude but there's no real way to prove anything. Unless, of course, Solar treats his AOL account like it's Fort Knox and fills it with incriminating evidence including passwords to his other social media and lots of porno. An anonymous internet wiseguy, known only as "Renaldo" hacks into Solar's email account and disseminates the following through Solar's (hacked) Twitter account. We find out:
On the one hand: good. Solar's actions are indefensible and exposing them is for the greater good. On the other: man, I'm never getting on Renaldo's shit list. Solar talked to Vibe in another exclusive (they scooped you, Source and XXL, though Vibe, you gotta press with follow ups and bring up infidelity claims) and he remains in denial; in "that was taken out of context" mode. He's likewise delusional and it's kind of funny:
"I just hope that this is just another case of a celebrity being targeted at random."
That said, he makes an undeniable point:
"Anything we've released that people don't like they just attack it."
Fans want to believe Premier because he's a way better producer. Besides cheating on his wife, every other action on Solar's behalf can be semi-defended with context claims and the fact Guru trusted Solar for several years. Sorta.
ATG stands with Renaldo, because he seems sincere and makes good point that Solar isn't saying much because he knows Renaldo has some aces in his inbox; because I'd like to be on his good side; because you cannot trust a man with an America Online account.

- Solar physically abused Guru
- Solar kept passwords and tabs on Guru's online presence
- Solar kept Guru's family out of all decisions and statements
- Solar owed money to producers, including Buckwild
- Solar was collecting Guru's royalties
- Guru's work with Solar netted hilariously puny royalties
- Solar forged Guru's deathbed statement
- Solar repeatedly cheated on his wife

Thank you for a great post
If you're still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you'll know which is right for you.
I am sure that by now, you must be well-aware of the importance of incorporating an essential keyword in your resume. Always remember that powerful words will not only beautify your contents but, they will help you in standing out of the mob! So better be careful while jotting down certain words!
Could not help but think there presently exists more useful challenges toward which we should be directing our interest and also our assets. What amount of publication pages are wasted with full-color snapshots of various famous people, and how much data transfer rate is abused everyday by constant ramblings of celebrity groupies?
Do you realy get pleasure from famous person gossip? Hate it? Don't you take long lunches from labor when you know when the present issue of Vogue hits the newstands? I would like to know how many people today actually find personality gossip exciting, and how many absolutely consider the infatuation with it idiotic.
Think about it, who're the men and women who're searching for this shit and to help keep making it trendy? Show after show, paper after paper!
You seriously like hollywood gossip? Don't like it? Don't you take very long lunches from your job when you are aware the up-to-the-minute issue of People hits the newstands? I sooo want to determine the number of everyone actually find celebrity gossip entertaining, as well as how many obviously consider the passion from it idiotic.
Truly Embarrassing that we allow for Extremist Foreign Political Figures on our soil just after years of hatred towards our nation. The united states should leave the UN and show everyone of these extremists our opinion of there idiotic ideology. Qaddafi, Ahmadinejad, Chavez, and many more have far to long been welcomed to our Sacred and Wonderful country. I say Enough will do, Shut down our doors to those Hateful Bastards and Say No longer to the U.N. Get out, your NOT nor have never been made welcome.
