yeah. a major appeal of nipsey is he was independent and was building shyt on his own.

it's one of the most important themes in his music.

Initially he was co-signed by Game (which in like '08 meant something, a lot of people online were introduced to Nipsey when he dropped "They Roll" & "Bullets Remix") and was signed to Epic Records. He left Epic in like 2010.

I wasn't a big fan of Nipsey but he left such a great west coast legacy I feel Snoop and Dre were left scratching their heads. Especially Dre. Nipsey asked him for a beat but never got one.

Then Dre posts up with a painting of him.

Nipsey left a real wife and kids, and incredibly dope music videos.

What was Dre working on in that time frame instead of taking Nipsey under his wing?

I feel in hindsight that would have been the perfect move for both Nipsey and Doctor Dre.
They did a track together though??? Or was that posthumous?

You made an assumption based on Dre posting a painting of him?

Y’all really be looking into things way too deep. Dre has a clear trend on how he works.

If Dre wanted to work with him, he would have.

Ok.

I agree on what ppl said when that photo came out - "Why did he show love to Nipsey AFTER he died and NOT while he was alive"

That's what I meant.

Dre does have a trend on how he works, and I think it's a trip he didn't release more albums when more eyes were on him.

I hope he drops Detox tho for real.

Good question

Whether it be for clout, or whatever, now that Nip's getting recognition from Dre after his death
remains to be seen.
I just don't think it's the goodness you think it is.

That's what I'm saying. During that time Dre was cheating on his wife with two women that looked way less attractive than his wife.

I was a fan of Dre since his 1992 cassette, not Nwa so shout out to the O.Gs. But I was such a fan I'd go to the music shop always checking if he'd drop a new album.

I saw that little known album after Chronic and thought it was over for him.

Then I witnessed his massive reassurgence with 2001 and him taking Em under his wing.

Also him dropping the Compton album.

Now, I hope he shines again.

I think if he went in with Nipsey and Kendrick and Game 100% that would have been it. And Detox.
