August 26th, 2008 // 169 Comments

Dr. Dre’s 20-year-old son Andre Young Jr. was found dead Saturday morning at his mother’s house, according to People:

Andre Young Jr., 20, was discovered “unresponsive” by his mother at his home in Woodland Hills, Calif., on Saturday morning, according to the L.A. County Coroner’s office.
“Dr. Dre is mourning the loss of his son,” his rep Lori Earl says in a statement. “Please respect his family’s grief and privacy at this time.”
Young’s mother told police that she attempted to rouse her son at 10:24 a.m. on Saturday, and when she couldn’t, she called paramedics. They pronounced him dead at the scene.

An autopsy was performed yesterday morning but the cause of death is still pending on a toxicology report. Police say Andre was out with friends and didn’t return home until 5:30 a.m. the morning of his death.

    How sad. Very young.

    A worthless nig did drugs and died? NO WAY! Pretty awesome, actually – like a self-cleaning oven, in terms of society.

  3. Poor Dre. All he has left is his gigantic nostrils.

  4. Busta

    Veggi’s mom wasn’t saying that when she was swallowing that black tube steak last night. Think she got a little mayo in her eye.

  5. Hollard

    Damn. RIP to Dre’s son. Whats up with all the black men dieing these days.

  6. Gabriel

    Oh shit I forgot about Dre.

  7. veggi

    “Whats up with all the black men dieing these days.”

    How about…a positive evolutionary trend, finally?

  8. Where's Darkwing Duck?

    Hmmm, I need to brush up on my ’90′s rappers. I thought Dr. Dre was dead too. Or is it just Tupac & Biggie Smalls?

  9. Nice to see the trolls are out.

    What are the odds that drugs are involved?

  10. Jesse

    Poor Dre. In making millions by celebrating the violence of drug-dealing gangs that killed other fathers’ sons, he never imagined that his own son would die from an overdose (obviously that’s what it is). This is so unfair, I feel so bad for him.

    Should not have had that last baseball size “crack” pipe before heading home for some beddie-bye…Put him to sleep forever it now seems.

    Remember kiddies…CRACK KILLS…!!!

  12. Hollard

    @7 lolz.

    @8 Dre is still around. He is supposed to be dropping a new album sometime soon I believe.

  13. jack

    racist fucks.

  14. devilsrain

    No way drugs were involved……

  15. yeah baybee

    I bet he can suck a couple of golfball-sized balls of crack up those nostrils.

    #2 that is a pretty crumy thing to say!!!!!!

  17. John McCain

    What goes around comes around, boy.

    These people will never be fit to lead.

    I must have misread the music news – it turns out Dre’s dropping a son.

  20. Kemi

    to Veggi and anyone who uses the N word:

    Nothing you could possibly say in hatred towards black people will ever come close, not even remotely close, to describing the kind of disgusting dredge on our society that you are. Nothing.

    crack kills

    Hey, any of you racist fukks tired of pissing on your balls yet? Go to wwwwishmyshitwasbiggerdotcom

  24. Ted from LA

    It’s true. Research shows that racist males have an average penis length of 2.5 inches.

  25. asdf

    Why do I think drugs were involved?

  26. Mo

    I get the snark site, I really do. I get the bitchiness to people in tights making music vids but DEATH? You people troll about people losing their KIDS?

    I SO don’t wanna be around when your karma catches up with YOU.

    Since it’s pending the toxicology, you can’t even say he DIED from a drug overdose. Or alcohol. And even if he did? Death isn’t about the dead. It’s about the people left behind to mourn.

    TL;DR: Ya’ll are some foul folks.

    PS: Yeah, yeah. I’m one of the fat ones that sits at home all day and does nothing else, your mom, yadda.

  27. bootlips

    It just means less crime to me.

  28. combustion8

    your theory is flawed, my cock is 8″ yet I still hate other races.

  29. Rambo

    hey racists, tired of that tic tac between your legs? Don’t take it out by posting on the internet, go to wwwdotiwishiknewwhatpussylookedlikedotcom. There is life beyond porn, your two fingers, and lotion!

  30. Cash

    Thats some solid parenting there Dre. Well played sir.

  31. Jesse Helms

    Might not be drugs. A few of them tarbabies gave it up after just a lil’ late-night asphalt surfin’ behind my pickup. They ain’t very strong, that’s for sure.

  32. Rambo

    Speaking of black IQ’s…

    George Bush said he’s going to “investigatationalize the truthfulality” of the claim that Obama graduated Harvard.

  33. combustion8

    wonder if his casket will have spinners on it.

  34. rough daddy

    I would not type a word here if I couldnt say it to the peoples face!

  35. hey hoMo

    “I SO don’t wanna be around when your karma catches up with YOU. ”

    Karma isn’t payback, you ignorant American. The world is big but your minds are small. I know you think Bruce Willis has taught you all the philosophy you require, but it’s best if you stay away from complicated concepts.

  36. Rambo

    Surfing from a truck? Oh stop it Jesse you old nut! You weren’t saying that when you were re-enacting that scene from deliverance and you were Booby on your knees. How lovely you sounded….Whhhhheeeeee!!!!!! Wheeeeee!!!!!

  37. #10

    Irony, defined.

  38. Erin

    The primary influence on Obama’s mind (including his highly academic style of thinking, which was good for going to Harvard but maybe will be bad in the general election) was his WHITE MOM. Read his life’s story. His biological father and other black dad figures make cameo appearances. Yeah, I know, shocking…

  39. Mo

    Oh hey #35 -

    You ignorant American? That would make you the… pretentious European in our lil war o’words? I’m amused that you took ‘karma = payback’ outta my comment. That’s not it at all. The point of my comment was this: Don’t be a douche.

    I can see that it’s going to be difficult for you.

  40. yeah baybee

    The crack dealers have lost another customer

  41. Gap teeth in his mouth so my d***’s GOT to fit!

    Fo’ shizzle mah nizzle!

  42. Rambo

    “I would not type a word here if I couldnt say it to the peoples face!”

    That’s no fun…. it would eliminate 99.9% of all racist posts.

    Saying things anonymously online because their tic tac and two green peas doesn’t allow them to say it to someone’s face is the very essence of the racists’ way of life… it is the very substance that makes them…well…them

  43. hey hoMo

    So karma = “Don’t be a douche.”

    Yes, yes, definitely I stand here completely refuted…

  44. combustion8

    God I hate worthless eurotrash.. go brush those rotten teeth already.

  45. pstull42

    Let’s remember someone has died.please have repect for the person died and the family who is grieving.

  46. funny

    lol @ #33.

  47. at least it wasn’t a drive by.

  48. Nancy

    Apparently even in the rare cases when the dad sticks around, it turns out poorly.

  49. Deacon Jones

    Eh, Im not really racist (besides Muslims). So not much to say here besides the obvious –

    1. He didnt have a job (getting in at 5:30 am on a Tuesday?)

    2. Def. fucking drugs. It wasn’t crack though, he wouldnt have gone to bed. Probably mixed something, like booze and pain pills.

  50. Zoo Keeper

    Dre will write a mournful song about his song, it will be praised by music critics as a real break through for him as a musician, possibly a new beginning for a different type of music. But it won’t sell as well as his other stuff, so he’ll go back to simpleton beats and obscene nursery-rhyme lyrics about drugs, guns, and bitches. Old dog, new tricks, that sort of thing. Well, plus the whole lack of a moral sense, but you that’s like criticizing a baboon for having a red ass. Exactly like that, actually.
