61. 7. THE BABY PROBABLY HAD TO MUCH SMOKE IN ITS LUNGS FROM WEED

I think you thought it would have been cool to crack a stupid remark. You probably thought someone was going to chuckle at what you so ignorantly wrote. Losing any child is the hardest thing in the world for a parent. Try to have a feeling other than evil and ask for forgiveness to the One that CAN judge you.

My prayers are with you and your family, Xzibit. :(

69. My prayers go out to Xzibit's family.

For those who have negative things to say. You obviously don't know that Xzibit is a positive rapper and does positive things for the community, and you also believe that all rappers and their families do illicit drugs and drink 40oz. beers. Just because they rap about the life, does not make it their life.

But of course, you think reality tv is real, so you would make asinine comments such as the ones you have made to show your ignorance and class. Get out of your trailer and learn something about people from all walks of life, then maybe your life would be worth sperm your father wasted and your mother refused to swallow.

70. So sorry to hear the sad news. My son passed away the same way 21 years ago. You are in our pray

This is for the so called person called CANDY:

I never smoke nor drank nor did any drugs, ti was the hospitals fault for not putting mine in the incubaotor to help out his lungs I was 28 wks along. His death certificate says due to his lungs not being mature. The doctor said I was young (21) to have more that losing one wouldnt hurt me, but he forgot I lost twins 2 yrs earlyer due to medication the doctor gave me.
I have the pictures of him. It still hurts over the 21 years but I am greatful to have my 4 other ones.
Unless you are there at the hospital then you do not know what really happend or if it had happend to you like it did me.

71. My prayers, thoughts, and condolences go out to Xzibit. No words can ever describe how hurt and sad you feel after losing someone you care so much about.

Now, as for comment #8 (Candy): That is totally insensitive, thoughtless, and plain f***ing stupid. Do the world a favor, and do something that would end up with you not existing anymore.

72. I am so sorry for the Dad and the Mom.

73. That is so horrible. I feel so bad for him and the baby's mom.

74. @MARA:

I love how you try to disguise your ignorant, stupid, and bigoted comment as one of compassion. At least CANDY didn't pretend to be compassionate with her stupid-@$$ comment. I hope both of you stupid-@$$es remember what Karma is, and remember that, sooner or later, it'll come back and bite you both in your @$$es.

75. Xzibit, I am so very sorry for your loss. You and your family now have another angel looking down on you each and every day from Heaven. I, myself, have 2 little ones up there, too. Don't be afraid to reach out and ask for help, don't be afraid to join a support group. Do what you need to greive for little Xavier. God Bless you and your family.
As for the comments made by Candy and Mara, obviously neither of you know anything about losing a child. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy, but maybe to teach you both a lessen, you should have some of that grief. I'm sure that you both would take back your words if you were in their position. You have no right to judge someone based on what everyone else is doing. If you don't personally know that they both did drugs, then maybe you both should shut up. If someone had made a comment like that to me or my family after one of my losses, well, it would not have been pretty and I would have probably gone to jail.
