MASTAA KIBAO WAHUDHURIA MAZISHI YA CHRISS LIGHTY

Chris Lighty's impact in Hip Hop was on display by the

attendees to his memorial service.

Tragedy brought rivals and estranged partners under the

same roof on Wednesday (September 5) afternoon, as droves

of Hip Hop artists and industry figures attended Chris Lighty's funeral.

As previously reported, Chris Lighty was found dead last week,

reportedly as the result of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.

The event turned out to be something of a media circus,

as cameras crowded around Frank E. Campbell Funeral Chapel,

which also hosted The Notorious B.I.G. and Aaliyah's funerals.

LL Cool J, Missy Elliott, Busta Rhymes, Mary J. Blige, Diddy,

50 Cent, Fat Joe, and Lloyd Banks were among those in

attendance at the high-profile event.
