Dr. Dre’s Son Dead at 20

Damn, this is horrible. Condolences to Dre and his family.
Andre Romelle Young Jr., the son of rapper and pioneering hip-hop producer Dr. Dre, was found dead in his Woodland Hills, California, home Saturday morning, according to Dre’s representative. He was 20 years old.
An autopsy was conducted on Young’s body Monday, but a cause of death has not yet been determined, pending the results of a toxicology report, a representative for the Los Angeles County Coroner’s office told MTV News. The coroner’s rep confirmed that an Andre Romelle Young Jr. passed away Saturday, but was uncertain if he was Dre’s son; Dre’s rep confirmed that information Tuesday (August 26).
Young was discovered in his bed at around 10:30 a.m. Saturday by his mother, who attempted to rouse him, the coroner’s spokesperson said. Young was unresponsive, so she called paramedics, who responded to the scene. After their efforts to revive him failed, he was pronounced dead at the scene.

***vote your conscience, but I’m saying, McCain was the most vocal opponent to the recognization of the MLK Holiday…he’s done some good shit, too, but sometimes isolated incidents can tell you a lot about a person, especially if they’re not taken out of context..

Hood Surgeon is NOT Andre Young Jr.
It was NOT Hood Surgeon who died…
Not that it makes a difference….there still is a life lost here but I don’t want to confuse any Hood Surgeon fans who are mourning his loss.
August 26th, 2008 at 1:25 pm
good correction.
rip
August 26th, 2008 at 1:28 pm
Jesus Christ one of Hip Hops legends has his only son die and all you cornballs can do is talk about War Craft? You faggots always talking about everything other than the music need to join a womans support group or something to talk about the issues you keep blabbering on about. Keep it off the forums Wow, this is so fucked up its not even funny. Condolences to Dre, his fam, and the rest of the aftermath camp close to him. I highly doubt that detox will drop within the next two months as scheduled. They will probably let Em drop first now. Even though I’m sure Em will be pretty fucked up off of this too. Damn dead at 20 like so many other kids from Compton even though his dad did everything to make sure that didn’t happen. Life is so fucked up. RIP Hood Surgeon.

well i guess thats the nail in Detox’s coffin (no pun)

Dr. Dre’s son will be buried in Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Los Angeles, Ca. Dr. Dre was there on Monday arranging the services.
August 27th, 2008 at 1:18 am
Yeah you know I don’t know anything about Dr Dre and his family, or his personal life, other than whats been on blast in the media
What I do know is he has put out some music that has inspired a lot of kids, which is more than I can say about alot of people…this is some sad sh#$.
People can be real fucked up, some of y’all dudes acting like some crazed hyenas in here

It’s fucked up man, ‘cuz I had just been talking to him a month ago about doing some beats for him.
By the way, I can’t help but feel a bit pissed at game in light of this tragedy for his gratuitious, ominous Dre references.
