Thousands of fans, friends and family came out to honor hip-hop legend Jam Master Jay in Saint Albans, Queens in New York. Throngs of people lined Linden Blvd. on a chilly fall evening to get a glimpse of the man who broke down so many barriers in hip-hop. Jay was dressed in Run-DMC’s trademark uniform: a black leather suit, a gold rope chain necklace with a sneaker pendent and a pair of crisp Adidas. Cars rode up and down Linden Blvd. playing a variety of Run-DMC classics, some were even adorned with "RIP Jam Master Jay" banners. Other people wore custom made T-Shirts that featured Jay’s face. The ceremony started after 7 P.M. at the J Foster-Phillips Funeral Home and despite the long lines, police continued to allow fans to see Jam Master Jay until almost 10 P.M.
