CO-SIGN THE TRUTHIS.. THESE NIGGAS ALWAYS TRY TO LOOK HARD EVEN WHEN ITS NOT NECESSARY
I dont feel sorry for this coward i’m sorry for his beautiful children he chose to leave without a father. If he was a real man he would have stuck it out regardless and wouldnt do tht to his kids
Wear a fucking suit (AT LEAST a tie) and take off the fucking hats dumb fucks.
Suicide is a serious thing… its not about being a coward or any of that nonsense. You don’t know what is going though their heads to do something so drastic. mental health is important and isn’t talked about enough, especially in the minority communities. To take your own life is probably one of the hardest things to do… Selfish? i can understand why people say that but you also weren’t in their shoes at the time. Life is strange and thats all you can really say as far as that goes.
So many tastemakers at the funeral. Chris Lighty was well respected in all avenues of life.
Sidebar: I still fucks with Yayo, but he needs to leave that hood attire for the hood and out of the funeral. Banks was decent I guess.
R.I.P. Chris Lighty…
man dat nigga aint commit suicide…
“Suicide it’s a suicide.”…he was a hip hop head sure he would’ve respected that quote fucked up he couldn’t make it out of that dark point pussy and money does go hand and hand but wealth, love and happiness is hard to attain..” And if you can’t respect that your whole perspective is wack”
This is wildly inappropriate and I’m sorry to even say it, but Ms. Blige’s ass was looking marvelous.
R.I.P. Chris Lighty. You had a lot of people that loved you.
No dress code at this thing, huh?
anyone upset at a rappers gear at a funeral are delusional. hip hop is always about dressing and looking how u want. if u work a regular job u will not understand this.
also no one has any sympathy at all for people who commit suicide. its the easy way out always has been always will be.
Look y’all suicide is wrong on some levels I think. Leaving your wife and children and family is harsh as hell. But y’all don’t know this guy. Y’all don’t know what he’s been through to get to that point. Y’all never maybe going to experience what he did. Stop judging his action with only your opinion that he’s selfish for doing that. Honestly I’ve had some friends and had a friend who commited suicide. This dude was the happiest guy ever. Had a girlfriend, good life, was recording an album with his band. One night his mom goes in the garage and finds her own son hanging on rope already dead. THIS SHIT IS CRAZY. but y’all can’t judge that. Behind this facade we all put in front of us, sometimes shit is not what they seem.
Food for ur brains y’all
2 things i noticed. yayo having to pull up his pants like a child. he is in a room full of adults yet he is the child.
and at the end wit fat joe hugging lisa evers while she talking to maino? lisa evars always been down wit the cause but still surprised to see that.
^^^@ County….. Who’s Lisa Evars??
No matter which way you look at it, its sad…but stop with the conspiracy nonsense about he didnt commit suicide or more investigating needs to be done. The hiphop community is always trying to pass the buck. Its unfortunate that he made a selfish decision, but he did it. I know its hard to grasp for some people, but stop with the disillusioned madness. No one knows what someone is feeling on the inside. people wake up and wear the “im ok mask” everyday, but thats not always the case. No one knows what he was thinking or how he really felt about life. Those who commit suicide make it thier business to mask thier real feelings. When its all said and done Suicide is not preventable. People are going to do what they want no matter what. I say this simply because I work in the Mental Health Field. People commit suicide frequently without exhibiting any feelings of sadness, depression or despair. They will often keep those feelings to themselves because they have sometimes made a plan to carry out thier suicide and they dont want family or friends to interfere with thier plan.
