Man, all these entertainers that I grew up with are dying off. From wrestlers Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit, to musicians like Pimp C and Kevin DuBrow. It sucks. He probably died from a mix of his meds and other substances with them. I'm preparing my song-ography as a type this to bump in my ride in memory.

That made me tear up reading about how he was found. Even if he had substances in his body at least he went out quietly. He's one of the few people in the urban music scene that always said what he thought, but alway got respect at the end of the day. Not many emcee's survive the kind of high-friction lyrical style that he embodied. I'll send God a prayer for his family's peace.
