I know you haven’t heard from me in months. This story is bringing me out of hibernation. First we hear Guru had a heart attack and was in a coma.  This brought shock to the hip hop community on a whole, especially considering what Gangstarr means to hip hop. Then we get this statement courtesy of Solar (Guru’s “partner”)…

“I am doing fine and I am recovering! I’m weak though,” Guru told AllHipHop.com in a statement today. “Solar is the only person who has the accurate info on my situation. Any info from anybody else is false! I appreciate your well wishes and all the love!”

Here is where the story takes a strange turn. The day after that statement we get a whole new perspective from Guru’s nephew  in the video below.

For those that don’t want to sit through the whole ten minutes, he is basically saying Guru actually fell ill Feb 2. Guru’s family wasn’t notified for two weeks. The heart attack was not the cause of the illness but a result. He is also saying Solar is keeping the family away from Guru.

This where I am gonna keep it real and I may get some hate mail on this one. What kind of partners are Guru and Solar? Solar is making the decision a wife would make. Last I checked your mother trumps your business partner. Why would you sign over your health to someone you do business with? I think you get my point. Needless to say if it isn’t what it looks like, then the story behind this will be better than a movie.

Believe or not, there has never been a number one record off of a Jay-Z cd. He had three number ones spitting verses on Beyonce (Crazy In Love), Mariah Carey (Heartbreaker), and Rihanna (Umbrella). But the “Empire State Of Mind” is the first number for the rap god. While everyone is taking shots at the thrown, Jay-Z seems to be enjoying his second wind in life. Jay has moved 1,271,200 of the Blueprint 3 so far. For the complaining people do about him, he is doing something right.

50 likes to be in the middle of BS, but he is not signing any contracts.

Beans explains beef with him, Dame, and Jay-Z.

The Song is Below

Via Allhiphop: Early Friday morning (October 30), Hot 97’s DJ Kay Slay debuted a shocking Jay-Z diss record delivered by non other than Roc-a-Fella Records artist Beanie Siegel.

The track, titled “Average Cat” seems to be a response to “What We Talkin’ Bout,” the first track on The Blueprint 3.

Siegel responds directly to the line “Grown men wanna sit on my lap/but I ain’t got a beard and Santa Claus ain’t Black.”

While seeming to hold back on some of his grievances with Jay-Z, who he calls his “brother” in an explanation at the end of the song.

Siegel makes one clear accusation about the highly-publicized September 11 concert, during which Jay premiered his live performance of The Blueprint 3.

“The rapper Shawn called the police on me/cause I was front row at the Blueprint 3,” Siegel raps. “S**t, I just wanted to see him MC, and reminisce on when we was the R.O.C./But he called all the C.O.Ps, not only that, he brought out the F.E.Ds/So that’s telling me ‘F You Sieg,’/so F you too and F Bleek three.”

At the end of the track, during which Sigel also insinuates that he has information that could affect Jay-Z’s relationship with Beyonce, the “Broad Street Bully” addresses listeners directly, explaining why he decided to release the track.

“I think I held my tongue long enough about this whole Roc-a-Fella situation,” said a noticeably upset Sigel. “I was the realest thing that happened to the Roc. The Roc was just a rock. I brought the Fellas to Roc-a-Fella Records; Hot 97, State Prop, y’all remember. I brought the street cred to that. I fought all them battles: Jadakiss, Nas, Dipset. Anybody you woulda told me to go after. Matter of fact, you ain’t even have to tell me. I frontlined for that thing of ours, for that diamond that people was throwin’ up. I’da took a bullet at that time.”

He goes on to reveal that following his year-long prison stint in 2004 – during which Jay-Z apparently never visited or corresponded with him during – the longtime friends met to discuss Sigel’s release from Roc-A-Fella Records so he could pursue other opportunities.

According to Sigel, Jay offered him a financial incentive to remain on the struggling label’s roster. “I told you I ain’t want your money,” he said addressing Jay-Z directly.

“But you was in a position to let me get my own money, and you couldn’t do that,” Sigel claimed.  

Whatever issues remain between the two artists, who have always appeared to be very close, Sigel has made it clear that they can be resolved.

“And don’t get it f***ed up: this ain’t the green light for everybody to start making diss Jay-Z record. I still got love for the n***a. This just me taking my brother out in the yard for 5 minutes,” he said in closing before screaming out “Roc-A-Fella for life.”ay

Well we reported that Lil Wayne may be on his way to prison for 8 months. Well it has been confirmed. He reportedly pleaded guilty to a gun charge in a New York State court. The prosecutors were threatening to use DNA methods to connect Wayne to the gun. He apparently had been in talks with the DA since. Instead of doing three years, he just copped a deal for the 8 month stretch. No word as to when his sentence will begin.
