Remembering Jax Part 3: Queens All Day
An article by 
So this past weekend I spent more time in Queens, NY then I ever have in my life.
Last weekend myself, Mike Davis, and Binkis Recs crew drove up to New York for the big homie Jax’s Funeral. The service took place on Saturday morning of November 15th, 9am at the J Foster Phillips Funeral Home in Queens (Linden Blvd) to be exact.
The morning started out cold and rainy, Me and Chief Justice hopped a cab from East New York and took it out to QU. If you know Queens, you know once the trains stop, it’s all bus action for a min. And brothas was not dressed up to be sitting on the Bus! 
The Service was beautiful, and meeting Mrs. Thurston (Ma Duke) you can see where Jax got his sense of humor from. Family and Friends all stepped up to speak and share some fond memories.
After the funeral, we trooped out to Long Island to the cemetary where Jax was laid to rest in Farmingdale, NY.
I snapped a couple shots along the way. The big homie is finally chilling, resting, back in the Empire State.

After the cemetery it was off to Aunt Pam’s house, this is just the desert, the food was DELICIOUS!!!
Oh… along the way in Queens we passed Nu Clear Cleaners, the spot where A Tribe Called Quest Filmed the video for “Check The Rhyme,” kinda ironic because around the same time Chief Justice hits me and says Yo “Jax is the on the front page of All Hip Hop.com and the headline reads Phife’s New Artist Jax Dies On Stage!” ?????
We also passed a Chinese Restaurant named “Little Rabbit” on Linden, I’ll never forget that, I fell out laughing when I saw that. I’ll never eat at a Chinese spot called “Little Rabbit!”
OH… I got a quick story to share. So if you’ve been to a Funeral you know how the Funeral Procession works. Once everybody leaves the Church for the cemetery, everybody is giving a sticker to put in their car window, you put your emergency lights on and everybody stays in a line together. Also other cars are suppose to pull over to the side of the road as a matter of respect right? NOT IN QUEENS! 
People were trying to cut us off like crazy. Driving threw Farmers Blvd, Merrick, and Springfield Blvd, people were honking at us, trying to cut us off, it was crazy! I’m just happy there were no traffic accidents. Only in Nueva York I tell you.
Moving on… I just wanted to say thanks to the Thurston family for showing me the hospitality over the weekend. Everybody really made me feel like family. And I was treated to an early Thanksgiving by visiting Aunt Pam who set it out with the Food.
This is a lil inside look for those around the country / world who knew Jax but couldn’t make it to the funeral.
