Disco D Commits Suicide

Tuesday, January 23, 2007
By: Claudio E. Cabrera


Disco DRising star Disco D (Producer) who crafted tracks for 50 Cent (Ski Mask Way), K-Fed (Popozao) and Trick Daddy (I Pop) committed suicide last night in Ann Arbor, MI. A Grammy-award winning producer, Disco's credits included work for Sprite, Best Buy, and Nickelodeon aside from the Hip-Hop production. Legendary DJ and friend, DJ Vlad, was shocked upon hearing the news.

"I just talked to him a few days ago, and he told me things were hard. I tried to cheer him up. I didn't realize how hard it really was. I'm devastated right now" said DJ Vlad.

Reports claim that Disco was battling manic depression but nothing is being confirmed as of presstime.

Wow man, somebody lose (take) they life, and thats the first thing you feel compelled to say. Check yourself man. I'm sure the dude has family and friends that are really bout to go through some tought times due to this tragedy, and thats all you got to say. I wonder what dudes gonna say when you die? damn.

I agree that doin' yourself is weak in heart and spirit b/c you end up hurtin' those in your life more than you do yourself... However, as a school teacher in the juvenile prison system, i don't agree w/ robbin' banks as an answer. As no one knows what disco's issues were, committing a dumb ass crime and doin' a bid don't make you alright either... Bottom line ppl. Elevate your mind and trust in allah, yourself, & family... @ the end of the day you gotta love you. -salaam to one and all

Sorry to hear that. Condolences go out the the family. Sometimes things are just like that. Many cant understand the things that happen in life but we just have to role with the punches. Life will have to go on.

First and foremost: rest in peace to disco d! he was always humble in interviews and "ski mask way" was dope:-) he will be missed. To "gameis": u sound like a miserable hater with nothing better to do than judge the next man. Doing a bid doesn't make you a man; trust! and being white has nothing to do with it either!i'm a teacher and your ignorant point of view is the same kind of foolishness i'm trying to steer my students away from. Show some respect! u don't know what disco was going through to make him want to take his own life. If you have nothing positive to say, keep it to yourself. But you know what they say, "misery loves company."

"pointless comments will be deleted" wtf guys, why are u leaving that kind of crap on the site?
Posted by WhiteBoy56
u are entitled to your opinion but your comments are out-of-pocket, game. And as far as fantasizing, sounds like that's all you do! if someone was on here disrespecting one of your people, u would be ready to let loose so why can't you let dude (disco d) rest in peace?!? i'm done.

You judgmental F*cks, i know a dude who was manic depressive. He told me that sh*t's like smoking some bad weed, or tripping on some crazy drugs. That sh*t's a psychological disease you tip.

"if he was having financial problems he shouldve grabbed his roscoe and went to the bank ,and try to pull off a stunt..." -gameis or maybe he could've just got a job! why is it that every time we struggle, we always think of robbing something? go rob some applications if thats the point! struggle is a test. Dont fail it by robbing some sh*t. And i understand that suicide isn't the best way, but most people aren't like you! we all cant handle certain obstacles if we don't discover the answer on time. I pray for you brother. Your becoming a prime example of the ignorant masses. R.i.p, d.

Quit acting hard on you"re goddamn phone!!! call a friend don't post bullsh*t online.

Y'all Bia'ches don't know what the F*ck y'all talkin' about. I too deal with manic depression and no it's not like trippin' on some drugs and sh*t, it's the constant realization that everyday you wake up, you are just one more day closer to death and being forgotten forever, no matter who you are and what you've done while living. I was suicidal, but i do have a sense of pride about myself that keeps me a strong muhfukka in mind, but most of the time i do feel like wtf am i living for if i'm just gonna die and spend eternity in the F*ck*n' dirt in the end. Heaven or hell, you's still a dead muhfukka, no more ass from sexy hoes. Anyway i feel for disco only because he wasn't strong enough to realize how much his life was gonna change (the muhfukka produced one of 50's greatest tracks for god's sake among others) but i do understand where he was coming from. R.i.p. To yet another great producer.

Just goes to show money doesn't by happiness, and you never know what ppl are going through, even though they have a smile on their face! i have been homless twice and have thought about hustling and robbing ppl,but i refuse to spend time in jail for sh!t that i know better not to do, and i dont wanna put my mother through that. I use job from the bible as inspiration.....they say god don't give you nothing more than you can handle!
Posted by jah_bless
Wow, i didnt know disco d produced ski mask way,much respect to him,i still be bumping that song setting off car alarms.
Posted by EL CHIRISO
Wow, that's tough. I've dealt with depression too. Anyone that's been there knows that even with 100 friends you can feel alone. Ski mask way was one of my favorite track on the massacre. R.i.p.

Man, i come hear to catch up on news in hip hop, and end up reading nothing but garbage. Not the articles, but the stupid motherfuks comments, weather honest or not are foolish. Rot in hell j dilla? you must not be much of a fan of rap music. Go back to jail if you think thats sh!ts cool. Probably not coming back here, peace

Few people can relate to suicidal thoughts. Those who can't relate to them judge them as being irrational or weak. This is usually how hate of any kind starts, you can't relate to something different and so you criticize it. You're stupid if you condemn someone for killing themselves unless you know why they did it. Suicide isn't the same thing in every situation. Those who have never been suicidal have never experienced life where everything is just negative, nothing is working for you, sadness is all you know. Most people here could say they've never been hit with a depression so bad they'd want to just end it right then and there. If you can't relate, don't debate.

Pay the man some respect! he's dead not 'cause of money problems but of manic depression. Thing's said above is just cold hearted. R.i.p from sthlm, sweden

Although i think that suicide is the cowards way out, it seems like d had alot of personal problems that the public didn't know. Producing for kevin federline was probably one of them...regardless...r.i.p.

Well i gotta agree wit game on this one, when you take your own life...........thers nothing in the world that should cause you to give up like that. Dude is jus a spoiled brat, F*ck em. My family grew up in the ghetto in chicagos southside, as harsh as it was and is, we never thought about that sh*t, its barbaric. Totally unheard of in the most poor sections of the black community. So F*ck em!!!!! chicago holla

U black if ur dad or mom left or if ur parents left u fo drugs. If u can run dem hands and not try to shoot somebody all the time. Thats all u talk about is shooting people. Shit anybody can shoot somebody black, white, chinese. U dont become black by watching bet Bia'ch. U wanna know how i know u fake u always trying to claim u black. Black people dont always tell people we black. U know we black by how real we talk. And u dont talk real sh*t homeboy. Man i bet u a rich white boy. Fake Bia'ch

Anyway....... He said in an interview last march that to him life was like a big video game and that he tried to commit suicide twice along with admitting he was bipolar. It was just a matter of time for him. Also, we don't know whether or not he popped a few too many pills or blew his brains out or what yet. My word this guy would have had it all and i do mean it all if he stuck around. R.i.p.
Posted by Forceofnature
Daaam man... I feel bad, life can be rough no matter what walk your from.... U can be from the suburbs, "hood", church, jail, i dont think its cool to judge him on why he killed himself, the thing is he's not here anymore because he was going through depression, his depression is no different from someome else's depression, give him some respect, he was goin hard with his craft till the end, some of us can take that as an inspiration. Rip disco d.

This "game" cat is cracking me up - you should change your screename to "3 dollar bill" because cats can see that you are such a fake. How do i know?1. You talk too much "thug lingo" - sounds very corny. 2. Real thugs aint texting nobody!!!, simple as that. 3. You keep saying how much time you pulled - real cats won't even mention a bid. 4. You brag about shooting people - no real thug would snitch on themselves or make verbal threats. 5. You keep praising living in the hood - people in the hood don't even like living there, trust me, i moved out). Give it up b, if you are in the burbs, you should enjoy your suburban lifestyle. Many cats would appreciate living where you live. Peace

Wtf is up with all the ranting and raving about a man that none of yall probably even knew?? i mean, yea, suicide is the cowards way out, i kno, my father committed it, but who really has the right to say that the man didnt do it for a good enough reason? my black people, we will probably never understand why ppl commit suicide (white ppl for that matter) we think, oh they livin so great but when the credit gets bad they ready to jump off a building, and no offense to the white man but F*ck, its true for the most part. For the most part! black ppl, we go thru waaay worse sh*t and we stick thru it but thats cuz we came up totally different from white ppl and if u dont understand someone else's point of view then plz dont criticize it, that jus makes us black ppl look even more ignorant than ppl stereotype us to be. Disco d is dead, he's gone, nothing anybody says can bring him back. But imma say rest in peace, the man had manic depression, its a F*ck*n disease cmon man have a F*ck*n heart. Watever he was goin thru, he's not goin thru it anymore. Now, the heaven or hell part.......thats another story, and i aint even gonna comment on that........

Wow, are u serious man??? wtf?? why everybody ranting and raving about a man yall probably never even knew?? i mean, yea, suicide is the cowards way out, i kno, my father killed himself, but it doesnt mean the man didnt have a good enuff reason. I didnt know him, and honestly, i feel bad for his fam and sh*t but what the F*ck can i do?? the man was a millionaire, a F*ck*n millionaire. I aint got sh*t. Niggas in the hood die everyday and it neva even makes the front page of the local newspaper. Life goes on. But u dudes thats all like F*ck the dude, he a Bia'ch, may he rot in hell and all that, yall needs to rearrange some priorities. Go to jail??rob n*ggas when u can just g get a job?aw n*gga shut the F*ck up!! thats why black ppl cant come up now, thats F*ck*n ignorant. Im proud to be a young black woman but on the real yall a disgrace. Call me what u want, thats jus how i feel. I mean, we as black ppl will never understand why white ppl who be way at the top kill they self cuz of a bounced check or cuz they gettin they house repossesed. Hell, thats everyday sh*t for the average black family. But if u dont understand some1 else's perspective, then dont criticize it. That jus makes us look more ignorant than ppl stereotype us to be. Disco d is dead, he's gone, and nothin nobody say can change that or bring him back. Whatever he was dealing with was obviously too much for him to handle. Some pay respects, some feel he's a coward. I'm neutral on the situation cuz i never knew him so i cant judge h

If pointless comments are deleted, then the directors of this site have much to do. Secondly, there are a few people on this page who completely have no respect for life, other races, or themselves. They haven't even been given a proper english foundation either, based on all the spelling errors and slang speech. (not even the slang is spelled correctly.) they are putting themselves on the forefront of blissful ignorance. And lastly, for all those who decide they know what will happen after this life has not read their sacred texts with enough attention to detail. It is not, and never will be, god's intention to have his people condemning anyone, verbally or otherwise, no matter whether a person was killed, or killed himself. Disco d was clearly suffering. Try having some self respect, and don't show out by posting your own suffering.

I find myself wishing daily that stupidity was painful, but to some of the people disrespectful enough to post some of the crap on here and rant and rave about their religions high and mighty 'truths' as if it were absolute while proving their own inability to follow the above said religion with the racist/thieving/hateful crap that comes along with their statements... Well to them i wish that stupidity was fatal. Disco you and your music will be missed. R.i.p.

Yo im on medication for depresion. Not as sever like being manic depressed but i know how it feels .its a very ,very tough thing to deal with.
Posted by polorican
To all people that think suicide is cowardly! 1.you probably have no idea what kind of pain you have to deal with when battling depression. 2.most often its not because of material issues. There is an imbalance in your head that causes severe pain you can't cope with. 3.these people are real people that just understand the concepts of life and death more than you do. 4.you have no idea what its like to wake up everyday with a pain inside you F*ck*ng head that you can't control. 5.if you think its so cowardly why are you writing about them, its probably just a wast of your time and everybody elses reading your sh*tty ignorant comments so F*ck off. You make us all dumber.

Disco d, i'll never forget you. I found this thread while googleing for "a night at the booty bar" to make a purchase. No one where i live has even heard of you, but i think you totally groove! hell, in this town people think techno is sumpin' chevron puts in the gas they sell to keep your engine clean.

Disco d...david shayman, graduate from pioneer high school in ann arbor, michigan 1998. I can't believe you died homie, i know you are in a better place. Sorry things got rough for you and you felt you had to take it to that level. I remember me you trevor, charles and the crew kickin it at u of m campus and house parties in high school that you were spinnin at. You totally created your own type of music and blew it up! you were a sick ass dj and look what you were able to turn things into. I hope when you look down and think of what you accomplished when you were down here that you say wow...i did that. You made it bigger than most people could ever imagine. I look back and remember the times we would make fun of you for your crazy hair but you were always such a great person. I pray for you and feel lucky to have known you. You were the prodigy that conquered as a dj, producer and as a friend to a lot of people. R.i.p. Mike resma

I get it now. *stand up* no really, stand up at your desk (especially at work!) yell it right now!! "i am.... Somebody!! somebody!! said i am.... Somebody!!!" disco d's birthday is the same as mine, but he was 1 year younger. Knowing what he went through, will save me the same fate. I want to make a contribution to music that will positively affect anyone who hears it. Disco d saved my life with one quote from his dvd.. "it is that F*ck*ng easy, all it takes is balls!" thank you david, you instilled some hope and light in a dark mind.
