hey mc I've been a fan since 05-06 and I want to thank you for everything you've done for me.

In the fall of 2008 I was in the midst of a serious depression and I felt completely hopeless.

I was so fucked up that when I was walking to and from college I would close my eyes as I crossed the street just in case a car wanted to come flying down the road at that moment.

As my depression worsened I decided to kill myself.

I cleaned my room, wrote a will for the distribution of my few belongings to my family and friends, and wrote letters to all of the important people in my life.

I decided that the best way to go would be by stepping in front of one of the many freight trains that travel through my neighborhood.

Cut to a few days later; I was sitting on the gravel embankment next to the train tracks, smoking a few bowls and listening to what I had intended to be my 'suicide playlist' which was essentially my favorite artists on shuffle as I worked up the nerve to step in front of a 200 ton steel box moving at 45mph.

After about a half hour of sitting and thinking I got up and started to pump myself up to put myself down.

That's when "Never Give Up" from the album 'mc chris is Dead' started playing.

And I sat back down. I listened to the song over and over, and I cried for the longest time.

After that I got up, walked home and tried to keep on trucking.

Maybe I would have found some other reason to stop from killing myself, or maybe I would have gone through with it, I don't know, but your music saved my life.

Now when I get down, I turn to your albums and that Never-give-up-never quit-keep-trying attitude that permeates your work is a serious help.

Thank you.

Edit: I just joined reddit two days ago for an unrelated reason, so I don't know the whole story behind the drama, but I don't give a fuck. People have clashes of opinions. People don't get along. That's human nature. No big deal, neh?

Thank you so much for responding mc

Thank you. I'm still alive, so I guess I am. Some days I don't feel that way though.
