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.

    I can’t even believe some of the comments that are made about the death
    of a teenage boy. No matter what color or how ever he died, this was someone’s son. Does this country not have any respect anymore??
    No wonder people trash on the USA.. Look at how we are conducting ourselves on the internet..

  2. Im very sorry to hear this news, and RIP to Dre’s son. So young, and many men are dieing young these days. All, or at least most, of the deaths pronounced as of late have been men.

    Amidst the rhetoric and hatred spewn out all across the comments board.A man lost his son its not A this thing or that kind of thing.In aspect to ones nationality ethnicinity so on. its A human experience.And were all human .Despite the fact white rascist pigs have A harder time of expressing it though.In the words of malcolm X ignorance breeds ignorance and so it goes.

    I can’t believe these comments. A family has lost their son. Instead of people trying to understand their pain, some are smiling? That’s really sad. After 9/11, you think that the whole nation would come together? With today’s economy, rising gas prices, and unemployment everyone is suffering. Whether your black, white, hispanic, whatever we are all going through the same thing. We all care about the same things. We all love our children and try to put a roof over their heads and food in their mouths. We are all equal. There is no such thing as a bad race. Every race whether they are white, black, whatever have had people that have went down the wrong paths. If you cut us don’t we all bleed? If you hurt us don’t we all cry? All men, women, and children no matter what race or financial status are equal. We must remember that.

    Haven’t your mothers taught you that if you don’t have something nice to say…keep your mouth shut???
    So all you RACISTS F*&%S…suck a FAT BLACK DICK….and maybe that will help you to shut the hell up!

  10. same old same old

    This is so predictable, people hiding behind the anonymity of the internet to spew out this crap, yet some of these same people have contact with the races they hate everyday, and never say a word about their beliefs. I say we start a new trend, you want to spew hatred about someone else, walk up to the next person from the race you have issues with and let it all out,if you don’t have the balls to do that , then put your real name and address on the board next to your post, and if you don’t have the guts to do that . THEN DO THE REST OF US A FAVOR AND SHUT THE FUCK UP. All this whining and moaning about other people. Oh and all you defenders of your various races SHUT THE FUCK UP TOO, haven’t you heard the saying ‘don’t argue with a fool , people might know the difference’. If you look at some of the posts it’s obvious that some moron is just baiting you, and yet it never fails to bring out the self righteous defenders of the race. I mean anyone with an IQ above room temperature knows that prejudice and bigotry have little to do with facts, so what do you care if billy bob from bumfuck alabama thinks blacks are this and hispanics are that .Me I’m an equal opportunity hater, I hate all of y’all

    what is this? no one will do what you say. it is not the race but the actions of a race which is the issue. the gobernment has in place structural hurdles to block out all other races to come up. these hurdles are not impossile to get over; but they are there. no skin head has came into the hood of blacks and burned down the homes. that was us as blacks. the klan is not throwing trash and selling crack to the blacks we are. yes it is a two way road and we all have played a role. white owners of record companies are getting rich and the black artists are as well. tell me why do the rappers that speak about positive things are ignored? for the drug dealers on line tell me. in the hood you sell in . you are taking the money from your own kind then talk about how bad the hood is. you are helping the children lose their parents to you. which leave them to become like you if they are boys and a whore if a girl. not saying that all will be this but you are leaving this option there to pick. peace to all and to all you racist white bitches read about dr. diop on line and learn that i made you bitches!!!

    I could say alot of of things to upset you racist bastards but that’s beneath me. All i’m going to say is stop and smell the roses. Black people have come along way since the time of slavery and if it wasn’t for us alot of the things people use on an everyday basis would not even exsist. Black people live in nice suburbs with picket fences just as well as white people do and any other race for that matter.There are bad apples in every race. What about all the white serial murders and rapist that torture innocent people? There are white rappers and entertainers as well as black ones so you cant place the blame on us.How is rapping about guns and violence any different then portraying a drug dealer or hit man? A man has lost his son and all you people can do is sit around a make fun of his grief. I hope you’ll make the same comments the day that you have to burry one of your children. Hopefully God will have mercy on your souls so that you’ll won’t have to think about your mistakes while you burn in hell.

    Dr. Dre you’re in my prayers

    P.S. My brother died at the age of 21. He was a high school graduate and attending college. He wasn’t a drug dealer or gang member, he never even went to jail. He passed away in his sleep after a long night too. Everybody just “knew” he died from taking some kind of drug cause there was no other explaination. No shooting. No gang violence. But surprise!!!!!, He had an enlarged heart. And the moral of the story is….. Don’t jump to conclusions.
