TrueCelebz Quick Take:

Well, it's Independence Day, but for some reason, I'm not feeling all that independent or celebratory. No, today is a day of mourning, as we bid farewell to Young Noble, a member of Outlawz and, by association, the most dramatic group name ever conceived (Operating Under Thug Laws As Warriors). Who wouldn't want to be associated with Tupac Shakur's crew and their impressive catalog of beefs and... well, beef. But enough about that; let's get to the real tragedy here: Young Noble's untimely departure from this mortal coil. Apparently, he decided to take his own life, which is just "the worst and unexpected news imaginable" (according to E.D.I. Mean). Suicide is a real battle being fought by so many, as Young Noble's friend and fellow rapper E.D.I. Mean wisely pointed out. So, let's all take a moment to acknowledge the gravity of this situation and offer our condolences to those affected.
