One third of The L.O.X, Sheek Louch recently spoke on his opinion of Chris Lighty's life. In case you don't know, Chris Lighty was found dead at his home, with self-inflicted gun shot wounds to the head back in August. He was the co-founder of Violator Management, which helped with 50 Cent, Nore, and a couple of other rapper's careers.
"He wanted to make something happen over there at Violator, but it never took place. I always say that to say this: His ear was always to the street. Chris' ear was to the street all day long. For too many people to be hurting for that brother, he had to be doing something right man. He was a good dude. I remember I seen him after we was beefing, us and G-Unit. He was like, "Yo man, this is business man." He downplayed it like that. And that was the kind of dude he was. God bless man." (Complex)
He also spoke on what Chris thought of he and his crew's (The L.O.X- Jadakiss and Styles P) work ethic back n the day.
"I never actually did no deals with him, I know he damn sure wanted to. I remember when G-Unit came into play, Chris Lighty was always at D-Block Studio like, "Yo man, every time we put something out, D-Block puts something out immediately." We were in the mixtape game back then. We was always like, they put something out, we put something out. Before we started beefing, he was like, "Yo, y'all don't let up."" (Complex)
Truth men! G-Unit and D-Block had the mixtape scene on lock down. It was almost like they dropped a new mixtape every week. That was when I fell in love with mixtapes as opposed to studio albums...back in the mid 00s, around 2003-2005.
