Jimmy's Bronx Caf hosted a private listening party on the |
|
day of the album s release for family members, |
|
collaborators and admirers of the late rapper, in |
|
memorial. Thousands were in attendance, with people still |
|
filling into the club at 1:30 a.m., "He was just ill. He |
|
was gangsta, but he was funny, too," said Guru of Gang |
|
Starr, who was present the night. Along with others like |
|
DJ Premier, M.O.P., Tony Touch, Dr. Dre, Terror Squad, |
|
and more. "I love you, my nigga! You'll always be a |
|
brother to me. Christopher Rios was the greatest. My |
|
idol. My best friend," shouted an emotional Fat Joe from |
|
the club's stage as tears welled in his eyes. |
