ALBUM OF THE YEAR! Nipsey Hussle-Victory Lap(Discussion Thread)

[lightbearerchef]

From the moment I turned on the album, I knew DOUBLE UP would be hailed a classic song in the future. It's sad it took his death for everyone to now latch on to this song


Dom turned back the hands of time, and laced Nip with a classic verse on a classic song

"Never let a hard time humble us" "Sounds like Tookie Williams over Coltraine"

I loooooovved this from tha moment I heard it

Nip really delivered. proud of him.

i remember seeing Nip at, i think that XXL Freshman show that Cam headlined to give Vado a platform. i liked Nip but wasn't a fan yet...nobody cared about him that night and now 7 maybe 8 years later to see how he's established himself in the rap game and finally put out the album he's been promising for as long as i can remember and for it to live up to expectations, it's great to see.

The Marathon/Crenshaw/Mailbox Money/Victory Lap -- thats a nice jacket right there.

oh and he needs to sell those yellow/gold Victory sweatshirts individually.
i wanted one but i wasn't going to buy another album i already ordered to get a Gilden sweater.

I'm glad we all appreciated it in real time

Back in this bytch like I never left
Stand for some shyt that you never rep
Passing through stages in life
Through the ups and the downs like it's all just another test
Live by the rules like a fukkin' ref
I got respect in a hundred sets
Too many chains, need another chest
Playin' no games if it wasn't chess
Cut from that cloth that you couldn't stretch
Cut from that circle you couldn't test

Judge a young nikka by they address
Left us no option, what they expect?
Only thing we knew for sure was to bang the set
fukk livin' basic, I'm takin' risks
fukk what they sayin', I'm sayin' this
Don't waste your time, it don't make you rich
It don't mean nothin' so fukk 'em, let's make a grip
Double up, triple up, make assist
Ballin' so hard, you could play your bytch
Lead to the lake, if they wanna fish
Make sure them nikkas around you stick to the script
This should be written in stone
You should come visit my zone
Don't take my word, double check all of my flows
Ask 'em how Hussle got on, but fukk what you owe
This is for who walked down that road
Sold everything, but they soul
Straight off the curb, real nikkas rich as you nerds
Addressed to whom it may concern

He a better crip? Still dont know what that means

I always looked at it like this.

Like his big homie was giving him the side eye for doing a song with Nip because of his affiliation, but then his homie concedes at least "he's one of the good ones"(crips).

Then Kendrick takes it to the next level like naw he's just a good black man period, fukk his affiliations.

 

[Dead End]

Have bought this album 3 times. On vinyl, on CD (for a friend) and MP3 (when it came out).

What you know about your response is the reason you exist?

One of my favorite verses ever.
