People have been reporting that he was in failing health months before this. Although those concerns were mostly about skin cancer, I believe.

Yeah I vaguely remembering hearing something like that a while back. Someone should do a tribute thread to him on here or something.

Heart attack? Weird.

I would have been less surprised if he died of listening to his own music.
(That one's for you, Darkest Hour.)

Most artists dont listen to their own music though. I would lol at the Darkest Hour comment but I have no idea what he listens to.

Black men are something like twice as prone to heart problems. It's shocking for sure, but 50 isn't all that young for a black man to die from heart complications.

Really? Still, when you hear someone died aged 50, you still think they could have had another 10-20 years left.
