DJ’s can’t make money anymore, and their carreers are shot. i guess we will be going deeper underground with hip hop again like it was back in the early 90s. Emcees will start talking about poverty and social issues again, because all the bling has lost its luster…….time for a re-up in this rap shit. shit is fucked up.

R.I.P. “Disco D” David Shayman.
Many of us only wish to accomplish what you’ve accomplished in life. Prayers for your family in their grief, but they have to be so proud of you. See you in the next homie.

Disco D was an incredible person. Very loving. Very funny…one of the damn funniest guys I have ever known. He inspired people across the globe and mentored many of my friends. This is a tragic shock and we all send our best wishes to his family, friends, and business collegues. Dave…gringo louco, we miss you already man. You are in our thoughts and in our hearts forever.

I have to say that I’m still in shock over this. He was very talented and I personally enjoyed his work. He will be sadly missed…..

R.I.P. Disco D

thats wild. it might not have been depression. could have been any number of things. i won’t even begin to speculate. whoever says suicide is for weaklings is a fucking idiot. there is absolutely nothing more couragious then taking the life from ones self willingly. yes it may be stupid, and cold, and selfish, but that shit takes courage and conviction. you cannot deny that.

May god be with you Disco…

You’ll be missed homie

“It is always a pain to have lost of those who contribute their seed in our planet, now your you traveled to a new way and better life, than God stay with you by always “…
Bless to him Family…

R.I.P homie, its been a pleasure.

I took some time to fall back off the situation and watch things unfold after one of my good friends died. I’m sitting here feeling, seeing, reading, the craziest things I’ve ever in my entire life. I watched people cry about Dave. People curse Dave for leaving. And people just not give a damned to degree of only wanting to find out the most gruesome details…And I need to get some shit off my chest.

Suicide because of that ?

It’s easy to apply someone else’s problems to yourself and how you in your right mind would handle them. You can say oh we broke up so what…or money this so what…of course its easy. Its easy for me and a lot of other people to deal with the most #ucked up things in life…right?

Well at times it wasn’t for me and I felt like I was gonna just burst. Like there was no means to an end to the stress and BS associated with your family, the industry and NYC. But then you know what happends…your friends step in…they calm you down they make you feel reassured and they give you hope and help you reason. And that reasoning is what you have to hold on to and make it thru whatever ails you.
Guess what friend did that for me?

Dave Shayman aka Disco D

Dave was the best kind of friend someone could ask for…why? not cause he made beats…not cause he was skilled or famous. But because he tried. Despite his own issues personal and mental/physical, he spent a lot of time connecting people and bringing people up and putting people on…personally and musically.

Why suicide?

I can’t answer on exactly why, but I can give a pretty good assumption thats a lot better the default “im stronger than this dude so i woulda did” comments i see all over.

Manic Depression and Bi-Polarity

Google it. wiki it. whatever you want.
Just put some sense to it and know whats good the next time you hear those words and hopefully its not because its someone close to you that struggles with it.

And once you find out about it you’ll learn a few things that will give a better perspective on why it doesn’t matter if youre rich, famous, poor, infamous, or whatever else good or bad is going on in someones life. You’ll also see that mental health isn’t taken as seriously as it should be in this first world country.

It can be as minor as mood swings or as large as not being able to control your feelings/thoughts.

Who do you ask for help from that?

Your friends can tell you hey its not that bad or don’t worry this or that minor event will get better…but whats that really gonna do? You’re friends can also go as far as worrying about you every waking minute of the day and keeping you engaged and hoping you can stay focused on doing what you do best…which is ironic because ski mask and the zillion other things he managed and created besides that all came from a similar place….something like a catch22

And for whatever reasons my friend wasn’t able to focus his energy anymore…that big ass Disco D lazer didnt work anymore and from then on it was like he was suffering. I could have swore slowly but surely that beam was about to pop off again soon…but it didnt.

Memories…
I learned a few things from Dave Shayman that Disco D never spoke about. Disco D would teach you some off the charts production techniques…but Dave Shayman had another message.

Feelings
One day two years ago…during the time when i uncontrollably stressed and on the verge of madness…Dave comes over to me and says “you know all the technical stuff…thats the easy part in doing what we do. But its about feeling…you have to be able to take the impulses that come from your brain and how you feel and translate them into art…into the music… Its the way to get it out of your system..if you’re angry thats your song…if you’re in love thats your song…make it your song…don’t keep it stuck inside. Once you can do that youre pretty much unstoppable…no one can hurt you.”

From that point on everything was okay…until now.

Now…
I’m in a group of people wondering what to do next…we’re all missing that tie that binds us together. That one unique individual that brought everyone together through love, skills, and the grind. And i know we wont ever forget who Disco D really was and how he changed our lives…and that we will continue to spread D’s beliefs about helping people and connecting people. And Positive outlooks on life will returning happiness.

And thats all I guess…not much more to say…time to express it in the music.

Disco D Forever. 1 Love Homie.

To whoever posted that last comment, thank you.

I dont know who this guy was because im into house music, im sad to see him go. But not suprised over everyones obession with success and superficiality. Why do scientists want to blame depression on being bi polar? Why cant people take responsibilty for other peoples unhappiness? This system we got is fucked up. Its all about keepin up with apperances, money, successes. Its all about being better than the next. Having more than your brothers and sisters- and im not talking about your immediate family.

When someone committs suicide we all think it was there problem. Its our problem people! How many people seem like they have it all? only to take there own life because they see that its a tired ass illusion. Im sure if people didnt have so much competion and there hearts in the wallets and egos of others. they would have stuck around alot longer. But its all about the party! The booty. The gratification of the egos darkest desires. Until we learn to cultivate the Spirt of one another. Some people wont be able to take it.

Superficiality leads you to unhappiness and no where.
Sure had he been working with the less fortunate he would have seen how amazing his own life was.

I knew Dave personally. I talked to him last around New Years! That sucks. He was a good kid!

went to the same high-school as this guy. Went to his crib a couple of times when he was living with his parent Is back in the day. He taught me a thing or two on the turntables. This is before he made it big and when he was just dj’ing parties in peoples basements. I always knew he would make it big because he had that drive and talent.
I just recently found out he passed away. Im was very dissapointed to hear this. Never take your life or your loved ones life for granite because you never know when its your time to leave. Take time out to show people you care. Its good to see all of the nice things people have to say about Disco D but maybe he needed hear this when he was still living. Maybe I’m wrong??? But still, its something to think about. R.I.P Dave (aka Disco D).

damn man i cant believe he died…hell i didnt even kno about this until 2day….ski mask way was definitely the best song on the massacre

hey fuck you mo Greene. depression is a disease and for you to be doggin on a guy that was down enough to do that is just wrong. show a little fuckin respect. D is and always will be one of my favorite dj’s, he was a cool guy and a hell of an artist/musician. R. I. P. Disco you will be missed
