    • Thats really bad news. I don't have children, but I would not know what to do if I lost one.

      My prayers are with his family.....

    • Why are you so rude Social Fuzz? You must not be a parent. I'm not a parent however I am around young people everyday and I have relatives who lost their children. It is very hard and sad for them.

      Have some respect.

    • My condolence is with Dr.Dre and his family. Continue to pray and keep your faith. Just remember you child was a child of God and He the Almighty has come to take him home. Because God has big and better things for your son to do for him.

      Today you say Good-bye
      Today you say good-bye
      To your son and friend
      Just keep him in your hearts
      Until you him meet again

      Everyone knows that you will truly miss him
      as he exit this place
      Just cherish the joy and laughter
      Never forgetting him smiling face

      Words cannot express
      Our love we felt for you
      Yesterday, today and tomorrow
      We will always miss you

      Your many blessing and caring heart
      Has touched more than a few
      We thank the Lord
      For using you

      So today... we say good-bye
      There is just one thing we pray
      That you have "Two Wings"
      So you can fly away

    • Tragic ... though the story seems sketchy of what he died of ... not violence because his mum would of knew and not a heart attack because god .. he's a 20 year old! curious.

    • yeah, i mean come on. you guys have to see social fuzz's viewpoinnt. it's horrible when children die, but all we hear about are popular children. it's true that a lot of children die frequently, and instead of just reading about stars, i think we should all just take a moment to realize how wrong that really is.

      i dont even have kids and socialfuzz offended me. yes i'm poor. i know of at least five families that have lost kids, 2 of them shot by the cops. but you dont hear me saying fu** their kids (or parents) were criminals. i beleive that everyone on the site is entitled to their own opinion if socialfuzz is. am i wrong? is there something unrighteous or unconstitutional about anyone voicing their opinion? apparently socialfuzz is allowed, but noone else is? i wouldnt wish that on socialfuzz's children. or his bereaved parents.

    • A death is a death, no matter if you're famous or not.

      We see celebrities in the news because of they way our media is focused. Maybe if we saw dead African children in the news more, things might change or people would learn how racist and biased they really are. However, that is not the celebrity's fault(in fact, I would go as far as to blame the obession with celebrity, especially for Americans), this is not a publicity stunt by Dr. Dre to drum up support for his album. This was his son and he is gone now. He will never get him back, so I sympathize because he is in pain right now. If it were you I would feel the same, so what right do you have to belittle his situation anymore than you would for anyone else?

      im not trying to belittle anyone.. watever that means... and i am not accusing of a stunt... nor am i arguing that its not the medias fault... all im saying is that people put more emphasis on someone famous's son as opposed to normal kids... Its DEATH.. its sad.. it makes people cry.. its true.. if it was anyone.. id be sad... id be sad (and slightly am) for Dres jr.. but i disagree that with people here taking a shot at social fuzz.. true .. "fuck dre's son" thats a little offensive.. but if who cares... everyone offends everyone else at some point if not always... its ugly true.. but undeniable...

    • why is everyone knocking down social fuzz? he does have a valid point... when rich and popular celebs get babies we go "aww"... and when we get them we go "aw crap" and now that this kid died we go "oh shit..that sucks"..... when babies die all the time ..... especially in Africa... no one cares.. and while an argument can be made that no one should care... why does Dr.Dre's son an exception... im just backing socialfuzz... as far as my OPINION goes... it is sad.. but itsnt THAT sad...

      Ask yourself the reason why you think people don't care about the death of any person's child, and I guarantee you are incorrect. You and Social Fuzz are being completely insensitive and probably don't even realize it. A death is a death, no matter if you're famous or not.

      We see celebrities in the news because of they way our media is focused. Maybe if we saw dead African children in the news more, things might change or people would learn how racist and biased they really are.

      well lifestudent.. since you posted this as an independent.. my response to you is there...

      ketihponder.. .. again... "fuck dre's son" a little extreme.. BUT .. everyone is entitled to an opinon.. the reason i am "endorsing" or "supporting" him is b.c hes not making a blatant comment going Fuck dre's son.. there is a little more.. "50 kids die every second or something"... that makes it a much more important comment as far as it is something that is more relevant... its sad when someone dies true.. but we care about famous Kids dying as opposed to not-so-famous kids dying.. which makes me a little uneasy but apparently makes socialfuzz mad...the catalyst to me supporting him was the fact that everyone was using the "insensitive" card and bullying him...

      sorry to disappoint but i dont think that any death is dismissable just because of one's monetary status. i'm piss poor and i still wouldnt want a child to die in his or her sleep, regardless of one's station. put yourself in the bereaved parent's shoes (of any status) and tell me that you would want to hear "fuck ....(insert parent's name here) they're rich (or poor) sorry but i reserve my first amendment right to say that socialfuzz is an ass.

      one question...do you assume that most ppl dont care about the horrific loss of lif going on around the world? i dont care if it's the poorest person in the world's kid that died in their sleep or a rockefeller kid that died in their sleep, a death is a tragedy, . go through it a few times, walk past a corpse of someone that you knew in life, (or didnt) and tell me that it dosent affect you. most ppl have never seen a corpse, and i'm guessing that socialfuzz hasnt. yes a lot of people die. but that's no reason to say f*** someone's loss. i'm going to say that in my OPINION, socialfuzz has been insensitive and immature.

    • Although i agree this is a tragic situation, i'm still voting this down because i think it should not be one of the four biggest news items of the day.

      I bet you can't find one person on the website who isn't disappointed by some top news pick or another. I don't particularly like articles that speculate that the world will explode in five weeks if I don't recycle my shopping receipts, but they pop up every few days.

    • This must be the hardest thing for a father. Dr. Dre is an inspirational figure that represents hard work and the respects to the rap matrix.
      Respects to Dr.Dre's Family......

      I agree with social_Fuzz on this one. Dre's son died of heroine and morphine overdose. I'm sorry but he was as stupid as it gets and while I feel sorry for his family, I don't feel sorry for him at all... FUCK HIM! If your father is Dr Dre and you can't do anything else, you have to do just one job in your life; TRY TO STAY ALIVE! and he couldn't do that. He was stupid, stupid, stupid, dumb fuck! and like social_fuzz said; FUCK HIM!!!

      Uh...did you read the article? The cause of death is not known. Funny how you jumped to the conclusion that it had something to do with violence. Hmmmmm....

    • That's a bummer for Dre...the only thing we can hope is that he takes some time and uses music as a release...2001 is a masterpiece and that was fueled by the death of his brother...Lets hope he does the same with Detox...Even if he does drop it in twenty years...

      And Social_Fuzz way to have some respect.

      i still fail to see why a sociopathic viewpoint is viable sue me, i'm excersising my 1st amendment rights. do poor kids deserve more media coverage than rich kids? socialfuzz's insensitivity just dosent strike a chord with me. it would be a different comment if it was socialfuzz's kid, famous rapper or not. as mentioned in the f*** fox news article here on current, we're all entitled to our own opinion, are we not? 1st amendment and all. just my opinion but socialfuzz sounds a bit racist to me. that's my opinion. i'm excercising my right to free speech, even when i call socialfuzz an ass. in my opinion if socialfuzz was a real humanitarian he wouldnt be so callous to anyone. just my opinion. like i said, sue me, but it's my opinion that socialfuzz is an insensitive ass.

      @Nephwrack -- I understand how this could be a little confusing, but it ultimately has to do with the comment being tied to a public figure. Being in the public eye opens one up to public scrutiny, and while this sometimes veers into insensitive territory, it's not the same as a personal attack directed at a private individual.

      The statement wasn't intended to do harm towards Dre, but was intended to express frustration over media attention given to the death of public figures versus those who die daily outside of the public eye.

      While Social_Fuzz's comment may not be the most sympathetic response, it isn't grounds for removal. We've asked them to consider revising the comment, especially since a loss of life is involved.
