The sudden passing of founding Three 6 Mafia member Lord Infamous shocked the hip-hop community yesterday, Dec. 21st. His bandmate and half-brother DJ Paul told Rolling Stone that the rapper died in his sleep of a heart attack at his mother's house in Memphis, TN. "He was at home sitting at the table and he just lay his head down and he just left us," Paul said. Although Paul says Infamous had not been ill recently, he did suffer a stroke and heart attack in 2010.

There was a huge, overwhelming outpour of condolences from the hip-hop community and many even took to Twitter to publicly share their reactions to the passing of Lord Infamous. It was a somber event, to say the least.
