That's a shame. Although he is mainly known for The Basketball Diaries his poetry was also wonderful.

The drill bit broke
and the valley became
A thin crevice, impassible in time,
As time itself stopped.

And the walls became cages of brilliant notes
Pressing in...
Pressure
That's how diamonds are made
And that's WHERE it sometimes all collapses
Down in on you

Aw love the basketball diaries.

RIP

I actually knew his music first.. then saw basketball diaries because it was about him.

Interesting guy.

That is sad. However, that guy lived! It seems he had a very interesting life.
