Solar Slams Guru Gay Rumours

Hip-hop producer SOLAR has blasted rumours he was secret lovers with late rap icon GURU, insisting the best pals have always been "straight" men.

Guru, one half of pioneering rap duo Gang Starr, was admitted to a New York hospital in February (10) after suffering a heart attack and slipping into a coma. He was diagnosed with anoxia, a condition where the body lacks an adequate supply of oxygen.

He passed away on Monday (19Apr10) and it was only then that it was revealed he had also been fighting a private battle with cancer.

Solar became the tragic star's official spokesman following his hospitalisation but came under fire from friends and relatives of Guru, real name Keith Elam, who claimed the producer had banned them from visiting him - allegations he denies.

Rumours have since spread about the depth of their relationship - but Solar is adamant any suggestions they were romantically involved are unfounded.

He tells MTV News, "I don't want to say anything against anybody living a certain type of lifestyle - everybody is free to live their life how they choose to live it - but that (being gay)'s not my lifestyle or Guru's lifestyle. We're straight men. He dealt with women and family. I dealt with women and family. There's never been any blurring of the lines whatsoever."

GHH's verdict .......

Well we simply suggest you listen to the episode 112 of the podcast form Hoodhype http://www.hoodhype.com they debate the situation and have alot of knowledge and insight on the matter. It seems that there is allot of unexplained shit ! not just about sexuality ! Sound interesting ? download it on itunes too here but never the less RIP GURU!

What if he was gay ? <---Click link....

Lady Sovereign comes out

Sunday, 16 May 2010 15:22

Lady Sovereign is sitting sculpture still in Soho’s fashionable Profile bar while make-artist Nikki paints her eyelids coal black. ‘You know what? Do what you want,’ Sov tells Nikki. Sov’s best mate and hairstylist, Sean Nolan, who’s been especially requested by Sov for the cover shoot, remarks that in the past she’s been a bit of a madam with hair and makeup artists. Today she’s sweetness itself and as we chat before the shoot, she comes across as measured, funny and candid. Not at all the trouble-maker I’m expecting, although as she warms up she admits to stealing an ex girlfriend’s car a few years ago after a painful break-up that she sings about on her second album, Jigsaw. (She assures me she eventually returned it.) Then there’s the night she spent in a police cell after a fight with a transvestite in a gay club in Brisbane, Australia.

I can’t picture the five foot one waif wreaking much havoc although she does admit to spitting on one of the security guards. ‘I was being proper manhandled but they made like I was the wildest animal going,’ she explains.We get a taste of her cheeky side when she has a hissy fit about wearing a tribal jump-suit we’ve selected. She harrumphs off upstairs for a calming ciggie, muttering under her breath, ‘No wonder people won’t work with me’. When she returns she apologises and jokes about dry-humping the Tatty Devine accessories displayed on a table. Has she deliberately cultivated her bad girl image? ‘No, I’m really not. Unless I’ve got about six Sambuccas inside me. I’ve kind of cleaned up my act a little but I used to be a bit boisterous. I still am a bit but I’m not as wreckless as I used to be. It’s time to focus on myself and be a bit more sensible rather than make money, sit on my arse, spend it and start again. I’ve made that mistake a few times.’

Bone Intell is the special guest on this episode of OUTing The Music Industry presented by GayMusicRevolution.com and hosted by Dj SirRah which originally aired on Tuesday, March 16, 2010 on BlogTalkRadio. Join me as I interview Bone Intell, who DJ KaySlay called, "The stick-up kid," about his label, his artists, his BlogTv show, his up-coming cd and mixtape, and why it seems he's "MIA." We exclusively premiered two new songs from his mixtape "Ghost Stories Vol 1" which features Daquan of Sgt. Sass, Benni E, and Moodi P. We discuss some of the artists and producers that he's collaborating with and what we can expect from him in 2010.

Bone Intell issued a challenge to any rapper to a freestyle battle on OUTing The Music Industry. Are you up for the challenge? So needless to say, we also spoke about battle rapper Dappa Dan Midas and the collaboration between him and Bone Intell. Download Here Visit the podcast page here
