Wow, wasn't expecting this one this morning. Another young black man dead. What's going on???
R.I.P Young brotha.
I'm sure Detox has to take a definite backseat now, hold ya head Dre.
damn... r.i.p. lil homie.
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.
~Be Eazy!

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.

Dre deserves sum time off. Rite now I think Dre should take sabbatical. As much as I want Detox losina a son is tough. R.I.P. Jr.
Can't even imagine what it's like to lose one of your children. R.I.P. and my prayers go out to his mother and his family. Dre take as long as you need, Detox can wait, your family is more important than getting back to work.
RIP
i hate to see this stuff happen.. and i saw on tv that it could take up to 8 weeks to determine the cause of death due to the toxicology report
A man is about to release an album called Detox and his son dies of intoxication...damn what is this world coming too...
R.I.P.
when i first glanced at the headline i thought it said dr dre found dead and my heart seriously stopped and my head got light.but rip 2 the man dres life will never be the same again
I hope Dre really gets through this. he must be devistated. God Bless you Dre, and i hope you and your family get through all this. Keep ya head up. And i hope, when Dre feels better, he drops a track dedicated to his son. R.I.P. he's in heaven now.
damn man...that sucks. RIP. i know for a fact Detox is gonna be delayed, but Dre gotta take care of his top priorities first.
damn i know im gonna get trashed for this...but honestly that is what alcohol and drugs does to you. its the truth, just stay clean and youll be alright.

RIP. Prayers go out to Dre, Hood Surgeon, and the rest of the fam.

Yea i just hit 20 a couple weeks ago. RIP to Jr. & my prayers go out to the family.
keep ya head up dre, your son is in thugs mansion now with all of the fallen soldiers and when detox come out the industry is in trouble when aftermath take the game back over
That's pretty cold. People just worried about if the album is delayed. This some unexplainable shit he is going through. Just lost my little brother that was around the same age and I can promise the last thing on his mind is Detox.!
What can you say?
...R.I.P
i don't think dre could give a fuck about detox after this unfortunate outcome. R.I.P. and my respects go out to dre's fam

Shit... Hold ya head Dre. We can wait for Detox if we have to, we've already been waiting for 7 years.
RIP.
You can forget Detox nigga its never comming out now... RIP TO JR

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!

RIP that shit is crazy i hate to see young people get taken so early like that. it dont even matter if u black, white, spanish, gangbanger, A student, stoner its always sad to see someone young go. im almost 20 shit is crazy cause age just a number and death dont go by numbers so dont let it fool you that you got 50-60 years left here cause you just dont know. my prayers are wit the family and dr dre who is strong he will get through this and i dont wanna sound like a cold hearted person but he WILL drop detox and it WILL be more classic then it already was gonna be.
