wow. I can't believe this news. I talked to Dave a little bit ago too.I was thinking the other day how I haven't heard from him-assuming he must be busy. He always kept in touch with me no matter how busy his schedule was.Just a simple 'hey' sometimes. When he got the phone message from 50cent's people he even played it for me- he was so excited.He was like a little kid.
I remember seeing Dave play on top of a roof of a motorcycle dealership with DJ Godfather.That's my most vivid and early memory. It's there that I met his parents who were so proud of their son and they believed in him. Years later I saw him play in NYC with a bunch of friends. He even took the time to bring them up on stage for one of those crazy dance offs and give me a shout out. I felt like a rockstar. He never forgot the people who supported him.I even remember poking fun at him for the K-Fed stuff, and he stood up for his artist...like Dave would. Based on our conversations over the years, I gather that Dave got to love and felt incredibly fortunate to be able to do what he loved while earning a living. He spoke of that often. He saw the world and had many opportunities. He was silly, sometimes very proud, smart and incredibly ambitous. I would think Dave's version of the afterlife is full of good things to smoke (he was never secretive of this), gorgous girls and lots of gear for making beats. I hope he is in a place where his heart and mind can finally exhale its woes. Too many, too soon. --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > > > Oh no... > > > "kent williams" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote on > 01/23/2007 04:07:59 PM: > > > Dave Shayman was an extremely intelligent, > talented guy, who was a joy > > to watch DJ, and great fun to hang out with.
