Hoepfully it didnt come from him overdosing on Lean or anything like that. There's been alot of people dying off of that shit. They just don't report it as much unless it's someone famous.

It's sad...my heart goes out to the mother and of course to Dre.

Don't take life 4 granted man. Tell all the people in your life how u appreciate them. It ain't even about age no more (Dre's son was only 20), people are just dying period. RIP to Andre Young Jr. Get your life settled Dre, don't worry about music (Detox), put your priorities first...FAMILY.

My friend who went to high school with my committed suicide earlier this week. This is a crazy world. Don't take shit for granted.

Dear Dr. Dre and the Young family,
A few words of encourgement from me to you all. Keep your heads up. because As sad as it is to lose someone you helped create. one thing is for sure, he is in a better place now. we always ask god why? but never question why he never answers. i guess the answer was always there. we all know everyone has there time and place and am sorry that his place was on that friday. am sorry for the loss and i hope you all find closure.

- Johnny Cris

P.S. this is to all the bloggers...if anyone put a stupid remark about when detox might or might not come out then throw yourself off a bridge. ya inconsiderate fucks!
