R.I.P. Chris Lighty

If it was depression, its no joke, and we need to address this as black men, because this is taking us out early

RIP Chris Lightly

yeah mental illness, is no joke.

reguardless if this was his case or not.

one should never be reluctant to talk

to a professional.
 
Something about the story dont sound right. I wouldnt be surprised if he was murdered and it was set up to look like a suicide...

I don't begrudge a man for going out on his own terms.

Life is a struggle regardless of your status.

But unless you're dealing with a painful and terminal illness, you don't off yourself especially when you have young seeds depending on your guidance.

My mother was just diagnosed with brain cancer and had to go into an operation last week. I guess all that religion she follows worked for something cuz she approached it like a champ and came out well with no malignant symptoms.

If Lighty did in fact off himself for something as petty as financial reasons with all the resources he has at his disposal, fuck him.

Save your sympathy for his kids.

Now that's some positive personal news in this thread. Glad your mom is doing well Mr. Met
 
ive got a new found respect for dame dash now.he went thru the same shit in a way, but worse if you ask me.
 
Martial issues can stress you out but I think it goes back to...

Turn a rich man poor and he will not know how to handle it. AT ALL.

Even if they didnt start off rich.

Most cant handle it at all....money issues


I am also going to put it out there. If he has children he is a selfish fuck.
 
3 kids & sold his Manhattan apt for 5 million to pay off IRS. Shaky finances and your wife leaving you or left you. More time and probably a little more will come out of course.

If he was dealing with some mental issues I am pretty sure people around him & co-workers will able to talk about seeing signs of it. First hand experience in my life with family members. You still have moments of clarity & not seeking help w/ 3 kids relying on you is the ultimate selfish act.

I am completely and utterly shocked...

this dude was central to my development in music and hip hop culture.

I hope that the TRUTH comes to light...

however if this truly is self inflicted its a shame our community is so ignorant on this topic.

This sounds fishy. It's hard to see a man killing himself when he has 5 kids to live for no matter how much debt he was in or female relationship problems he had.

Yeah, heads gonna roll if thats true. At lot of people have love for that dude.
 
RIP Sometimes stress can effect mentally and physically.Who knows how long he and his wife have been
arguing.I walk away before it even gets to that stress level,its not worth it,but everyone handles
things differently.
 
:yes::yes::yes:

EDIT: Oh wait, Lighty was a Taurus too. As a matter of fact me and dude have the same DOB except he was older than me. :eek::smh::smh:

:eek:
Well damn, thats odd... If he did kill himself, it must have been something really bad and wayyy deeper than rap type shit. :smh::(
 
One of my friends is a psychologist and she did a lot of research on suicide. Once she told me that much more women attempt suicide, but they use less lethal methods and are unsuccessful most of the times. However less men attempt, but they are more successful because they use more lethal methods. Basically women will takes pills or cut their wrists, while men will use a gun or jump from a bridge or building.
 
RIP to dude. As I'm sure is already noted, he was an innovator and facilitated a lot business both credited and unnoticed, behind the scenes. His intro into the industry is an interesting story. I'm sure we'll here more positive things from the peoples' lives he's enhanced.
 
did you guys ever have a girl say they wanted to kill themselves after you let it be known that you couldnt be with them any more?? That shit is real and scary and those with the right means and in the wrong state of mind will actually go through with it. If he was as shook up about the divorce, I can see some shit like this happening.

Emotions are a hard thing to over come. and I think that in that lifestyle, yea you can get all the ASS you want, but sometimes you need that rock that was there for you no matter was going on and he probably felt truly empty without her...

I dont know..

well hope his family is ok and I am glad he wasnt selfish enough to take the woman with him
 
I wonder if he had a hand in this...

Sorry to hear about this...
 
I think everyone is overlooking the fact that this guy should of had his finances in order. Everybody at first was like it's no way he could be broke. I think this dude got caught up in that lifestyle. In his business you don't have a steady income unless the people you manage or discover are blowing up. The IRS is having a witch hunt rappers and people involved in hiphop, black entertainers period.
I don't think this dude was murdered we need to stop creating boogiemen. I think his situation steam rolled IRS divorce having to pay ex wife child and living support. Plus NO new money consistently rolling in. The entertainment industry is like a drug and eventually it will destroy you, unless you see it for what it is.

RIP though :smh: Life is hard especially when you touch something and lose it.
