What kind of drugs? The illegal kind, or the government mandated kind?

Indeed, it seems to be prescription drug abuse that gets a lot of them nowadays.

I would have thought drugs, but with the world the way it is, maybe he just got the shot and it got him.

Could be drugs, could be the clot shot, could just be bad luck. 59 is a young age to out like that, but it's not that young.

Especially with the stresses that come with being famous. Yeah, the drug scene and all that, but it still is also a very high stress industry, which does lead to poorer heart health.

This particular example isn't very notable in any direction.

Was he not also... Somewhat overweight??

At least back when he was... Really famous, anyway.

Not so sure about lately.

Surely that wouldn't have helped...

If his pants were down, it was because he pushed too hard. Just like Elvis.

Initial reports were that he was visiting a friend's house and was unresponsive locked in the bathroom.

That would suggest fun drugs as a more likely mechanism.

I suppose there's also a small possibility of developing an arrhythmia while straining to take a shit that would be more organic heart disease as well.

One might almost say that it will be a...

Inset tastless gangsta/wanksta's paradise joke here

Nah, but seriously, I would struggle to use that room again, I think, personally, so sadly I don't reckon he'll stay there much longer...

Though I guess the real estate agent will now have a somewhat "Coolio" haunting story, when selling it...

Dang. I remember singing fantastic voyage in middle school, then I learned about the group he sampled that song from and bought their music

I liked how at the beginning of the music video he gathered a bunch of random people off the street into his car trunk and then the rest of the video was all of them climbing out of the trunk.

It wasn't that long ago I actually found out "Gangsta's Paradise" was actually a sample of Stevie Wonder's song, "Pastime Paradise".

and despite how all of this guy's "talent" amounted to lifting entire melodies from other people's music, he famously threw a tantrum when Weird Al did a parody of Gangsta's Paradise. you know, one of those things that takes actual effort and ingenuity.

Ngl, that sounds like, uhh, most hip hop "artists", both current and past...
