Quotes from Lighty's funeral


EULOGIZING A LEGEND: Among those who spoke at Chris Lighty’s funeral yesterday (see next item), the N.Y. Daily News reports, were Russell Simmons, who credited the hip-hop entrepreneur with helping “create a cultural revolution,” while Q-Tip called him “an honorable man” and LL Cool J stated, “He grew up to be in so many ways a true leader in our hip-hop world. We didn’t thank him enough. I know I didn’t.” Busta Rhymes capped his tribute to his longtime friend with a rap: “You were the light in a lot of lives. It ain’t no coincidence that your last name was Lighty.” “I know my dad was a popular guy,” said Lighty’s 16-year-old daughter Deja. (9/6a)
