SOHH LEFT COAST
Rest In Peace Disco D
Posted on January 24, 2007 2:08 AM
I understand that the vast majority of you had never heard of Disco D before SOHH posted a small blurb about his death yesterday, but I’m still gonna take a second to pay my respects.
Although he started gaining a little bit of mainstream notice in the past two years (with a feature in Urb magazine and production for Nina Sky, 50 Cent, Lil Scrappy, Trick Daddy and most notoriously, Kevin Federline), Dave Shayman was still flying under the radar of most hip hop heads. But dude was a talented producer, and his beats were living proof that he just wanted to make people have a little bit of fun.
I first heard of Disco D about 7 or 8 years ago, when he was mainly a ghettotech producer. I had the chance to see one of his DJ sets once, and I can still remember hearing a ghettotech mixtape that he did with a San Francisco DJ named Flux that was called Mazel Tov Cocktail. The cover of the mixtape had the two Jewish DJs mean mugging the camera, surrounded by piles of diamonds, torahs, blinged out Korahns and jewel-encrusted goblets; to this day, it stands out in my mind as one of the most clever concepts for an album ever brought to life. Over the years, his name would pop up here and there, especially in ‘05 and ‘06, and it was always nice to see him getting his dues.
Maybe the topic of Disco D’s suicide hits a little too close to home for me, since my dad committed suicide when I was 15. While it pisses me off that anyone could be so cowardly as to back down from pressures that life presents and just give up, it definitely makes you wonder just what kind of tremendous pain they were going through to think that taking their own life was the only way out.
If you have 50 Cent’s The Massacre laying around at your house, go pop it in and give “Ski Mask Way” another listen, or listen to “I Pop” off of Trick Daddy’s new joint, and see what this kid could’ve been capable of had he stuck around for us to see his talents develop. Or better yet, go dig up some of his older ghettotech shit and check it out.
Comments
first.
Rest in Peace.
man im listenin to ski mask way right now all drunk and shit. its fucked up to hear how ANYBODY(fuck that he a producer or wateva) could take they own life but i guess thas what GOD had in store for him. wateva disorder u got man go get that checked out and stay with us for a while. GOD BLESS HIM. one
R.I.P. to my fellow murda mitten nigga we aint gon forget u, and shout out to my nigga Needlz
never heard his name, so what?
RIP brotha
what else can u say
It always makes me sad to hear when someone commits suicide. i can't imagine feeling so down and out that i would want to end everything forever. U can exscape alot of things, but when ur mind holds u captive than there's not really anything u can do. he was obviously talented, "ski mask way" is one of my favorite songs EVER (hate if u want).
why would you come in here and do some ignorant shit like dat. why dont u go to AHH and express your gay-pride for the dude, they have a thread about it there.
anywayz R.I.P. Disco D
and once again, sometimes in life you become a victim of your own success. and in this case he was here to prove money aint a garuntee for being happy, and beyond that he had mental disorders.
life's short and harsh
condolences to his fam and those close to heart

Ski mask way was always my favorite song on the massacre. I looped that song so many times.
Thats what i say when people hate on alot of successful artists. Because they make so much money or drive nice cars you think they living better than you, but you have no idea what kind of battles are being fought in they heads. Their lives may look good, and millions of $s might ease the pain but it doesnt erase it.
R.I.P. man
Dude had mad talent. There is no excuse for suicide except to ESCAPE FROM A LIFE SLAVERY!!!
just to let everyone know that disco d had been diagnosed with bi polar disorder making him 20 time more likewly to commit suicide so theres more to it than just dealing with everyday strugles.
I wish I could have recorded this the way I planned to but due to finacial reasons and lack of resources I can't. But I hope you like it D.......
Disco D Tribute
Verse 1
I can't believe I'm writing this song
Days like this, can't tell me life isn't wrong
Wish you woulda got paid for that trifling song
Then you'd probely be here on ya triton and boards
You were so much more than a great producer
Ghettotech pioneer at 18 the future
And all da accolades and achievments suit ya
So its only right you make beats for Big and Luther
I seen you with my own eyes making hits
Running up in them labels never taking shit
Told me its all game just ta make em pissed
Some thought you were crazy there mistaken kid
There was always a method behind the madness
Plenty nights at the loft on the air matteress
For months we hustled hard just ta get established
The legacy you leave, can't hide the sadness
Verse 2
You were more than my boss, you were part of my family
Yeah you had a few plaques, nominated for grammys
-But I remember most that ya heart was uncanny
You keep it 100 from the start I'm a fan D
Nina Sky, 50 Cent, Trick and Spankrock
There anit a artist out there you couldn't make hot
And I still stuck around after ya bank stopped
It wasnt bout money, when I met you I thanked God
You gave me a chance just ta be in presence
Taught me about music and gave me some lessons
Always had advice when you sent me a message
I told you the other day on AIM "Don't stress it"
Im'a get it poppin and your coming wit me
You never replied, I hope you forgive me
I thought nothing of it at the time now it hit me
If only I said a little more maybe........
Verse 3
Don't worry ya death won't be in vain
Disco D people gonna read ya name
On my album credits you'll achieve da fame
But without you here it won't be the same
But reguardless, you were one of the smartest
And you hustled the hardest, one of the best on our list
I hope ya family know you one of God Kids
And that's coming from ya friends not a artist
Jack Danz, Benny Blanco and Jamie
Joe, Doobie, G-Man and name me
Donny Goines, you helped to make me
The man I am today so I Thank D
You got love from all the other DJ's
All your friends and fam out in each state
If you got love for him hit replay
May you rest in peace now we pray
RIP Disco D
u will be missed
He was a quitter.
Only heard of him through the last 50 album so I wont act all "RIP" like everybody else, acting like they truly give a damn. Dude wont even be discussed in another week so theres no need to play the pity role just cause it seems appropriate to do. Now everybody pop in your massacre CD's and listen to ski mask way...not cause the song is hot or cause its classic, it just seems right to do so...the info on his life with no room for comments would have been plenty respect enough...
May all you motherfuckers burn in hell for calling Disco D a quitter for committing suicide!!!!
RIP!!!!!!
RIP Disco D
Condolences to all his friends and fam.......
DIDNT KNO U, BUT ITS SAD WHEN A MUTHAFUCKA JUS WANNA END IT WE ALL FEEL LIKE THAT SUMTIMES 4 DIFF REASONS, I WONDER IF THIS DUDE WAS ON SUM PILLS PROB MADE HIM MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO COMMITTIN SUICIDE...R.I.P. D LOST TALENT
He was a quitter.

why you niggas bumpin yall gums bout shit yall know yall shoulnt be sayin disco d is well known here in the mitten, where i'm from if you dont know disco d, needlz, dayton family, eminem, cheddar boys, esham, blade icewood, obie, big proof, willie da kid, la darkman, rocky montega or any of those names then you're a disgrace to the mitten. as far as him gonna be forgotten and niggas only showin pity its called respect i knew who dude was and if you knew what hip hop was instead of that dumbed down shit (50 cent, G-unit, all southern artist) then you'd know who he was but u dont so dont hate on somebody who didnt even know you existed. matter fact no one does and no one ever will so maybe when yall do the same thing yall would hope for the same love.

who gives a fuck you dumb ass pussy this aint elementary nobody cares about first i'm sick of seeing that shit on here what is the big fuckin deal about bein first the first ones never really have shit to say except first, thats fuckin stupid.
I THINK THE HIP HOP WORLD SHOULD ALSO BE CALLING THE 50 CENT MASSACRE ALBUM A STRAIGHT HIP HOP CLASSIC THAT ALBUM WAS A MASTERPIECE IF YOU COMPARE IT TO ALL THE OTHER ALBUMS THAT CAME OUT SINCE 2000 I BELIVE YOU COULD ONLY COMPARE ALBUMS TO OTHER ALBUMS THAT CAME OUT IN THE SAME DECADE AND IF YOU LOOK AT IT IT HAS TO BE TOP 5 FOR SURE SINCE 2000. I THINK THE MAIN DIFFERENCE THIS DECADE FROM THE 90'S ESPICALLY THE EARLY 90'S IS WHEN A CLASSIC HIP HOP ALBUM COMES OUT IT WONT GO UNDER THE RADER LIKE ILLMATIC OR BUILT 4 CUBAN LINX NOW WHEN A CLASSIC HIP HOP ALBUM COMES OUT PPL KNOW ABOUT IT AND WILL RUSH THE STORES IN DROVES TO BUY THE ALBUM IF ITS NOT HOT WORD WILL GET OUT AND ALBUM SALES WILL DYE OFF AFTER THE FIRST WEEK LIKE NAS HIP HOP IS DEAD AND LIKE DOCTORS ADVOCTE IF THOSE ALBUMS WERE CLASSICS THEIR SALES WOULD NOT HAVE DIED OFF LIKE THAT AFTER THE FIRST WEEK EVERYBODY HAS TO LIKE YOUR ALBUM FOR IT TO BE A CLASSIC JUST MY OPINON SOHH PPL WHAT DO YOU THINK?????????
To my homie Dee..... its so sad to know your not with us anymore bro.
i wish the outcome of your struggles would have been different homie but no matter what you will always live on thru my sets..
i will always thank you for being a huge inspiration in my life....
Rest In Peace Pimpin....
Nano 2 Hype....

I wish I could have recorded this the way I planned to but due to finacial reasons and lack of resources I can't. But I hope you like it D.......
