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.

Reports state that it is Andre Young (not Curtis Young aka Hood Surgeon). Our condolences to the Young family. And please, no jokes about how this delays detox, or clever puns about how his son could’ve used detox himself… Because, well, that’d just be bad taste ya know.

While we’re on it… whatever happened to “Hood Surgeon”?

Bruce Wilson, One of Dr Dre’s buddies, reveals in his new book that Al Sharpton demanded half a million to go and put an end to the 50 and Game beef that sparked up in 05. He says that Sharpton threatened to march in protest of their activities if no one paid up.

True? Who knows, but I don’t like that nigga anyways.

While most of the people who actually give a damn about Dr. Dre are eagerly awaiting his Detox album, Dr Dre has teamed up with Monster to create a special brand of headphones geared to DJs/Producers:

When I’m making a track, I’m trying to capture the sound that makes me go ‘Now that’s the sh-t!’ and I want that reaction from everybody who hears it,” Dre said via statement. “I spend a lot of time in the studio listening to my music through headphones…with ‘Beats,’ people are finally going to hear it the way they should: the way I do.

For 400 dollars that shit better lick my bawllz to the beat.
