Rapper Dr. Dre's Son Dead at 20
by Christine Pelisek
August 25, 2008 5:09 PM
The Los Angeles County Coroner reported today that the son of hip hop record producer and rapper Dr. Dre has died. Andre Young Jr. was found dead at his home in Woodland Hills on Saturday morning.
Young was out the previous night and returned home around 5:30 A.M., according to Assistant Chief Ed Winter. His mother went to check on him in his bedroom around 10 A.M., found him unresponsive, and called 911. He was 20 years of age.
The cause of death is pending completion of a toxicology report.
Andre Young Sr., better known as Dr. Dre, shot to fame with the influential gangsta rap group N.W.A. He later became an artist and co-owner of Death Row Records. In 1993, he won a Grammy Award for the single "Let Me Ride." As a producer, Dre was credited with popularizing West Coast G-funk.
Dr. Dre is currently the founder and CEO of Aftermath Entertainment.
damn, RIP :-\

I though about that but imagine it would have said in the article, so I am going to guess "no."

Yeah, Hood Surgeon is Curtis Young. But still, R.I.P. to Dr. Dre's son. :(

You're right, I just checked and that other dude is 'Curtis'
-
^was just about to confirm it since Surgeon name is Curtis Young, so it's 100% not him
still fucked up, RIP

Damn, R.I.P!!!

Ohh Damn R.I.P. :(

Dayum....not to bring up family hierarchy, but is this his "main" son, or one of the sons that actually grew up under Dre? I'd assume so, since he is named "Andre" after his dad...just like Lil E was also Eric. Both Dre and Eazy had several kids that they didn't have any contact with.

How would you know how the man feels about his kids? Is there any need to bring that kind of ignorance into the conversation?

dr dre doesnt write his own lyrics, and i doubt he's going to go up to d.o.c and say "write about my sons death" do you?

being estranged from a family member doesn't mean that you don't love them or don't give a shit about them. it just means that you are not seeing eye to eye about something and a strain in the relationship develops. you can still love that person though. it happens in families.

You mean like how he didn't tell Royce or whoever to write about his dead brother?

Geez... his son dies and some of you people are worried about 'Detox' being delayed more

There are plenty of kids who don't feel that their parents are treating them right, especially when it comes to money. It's not an issue of "every man loving his kids". It's about you presuming to know how someone feels about their kid dying when you don't even know what kind of situation it was between them.

damn RIP
