i'm in a different country because i went to go see a certain soccer match and woke up to a text this morning from my brother asking if i seen that Nipsey had died. to then find out he got killed at his place of business and in the community that he's so important to was so sad man. what a shame.
i met him once, XXL Freshman show very early in his career. i think he was with or just getting with Cinematic at the time.
he didn't get greeted with the best of receptions or received the best feedback during his set but he did what he did and if i remember right, he was one of the few that hung around way after their timeslot to watch Cam and Vado.
in the minutes i was around him he came across vey self assured so it was dope to see his journey grow and achieved what he set out since then. i liked the 2nd Bullets tape but The Marathon made me a fan. I was so pleased for him when Victory Lap really delivered.
RIP to the boy.
well known people die quite often but this and the Anthony Bourdain are the most recent ones to have shocked me.

Luckily Nip was heavy on recording, we can prolly get one more legitimately good project from him, but accepting the reality that he’s no longer here to create new music. :justwow:

The Truth
i had a dream that this was a april fools day prank for a secret project and got mad in my sleep. in my dream i was like "wow...really nikka?"
then i woke up and realized somebody really took him outta here.
this shyt is wild. it feels worse now that the reality set in and we have NOBODY in the culture on his level that was a hybrid of street and worldly. we don't have anyone who willingly was trying to make teaching and entrepreneurship apart of their image legitimately. we lost wayyyyy more than a rapper and i don't think we'll fully understand the weight of this loss for awhile.

Might sound weird but when I saw him wearing that chain for the 1st time it automatically made me like him. I was like this dude is different.

Real Talk
That first verse is so disturbing now listening to it
Do I love it do I lust it,
Struggle of a hustla,
Life of a banger,
And death is no stranger,
I know em like it's ken to me took a few friends from me,
It all make since one day eventually,
I guess so,
Granny said it happen and it's ment to be,
Just let go,
But I can't this shyt keep itchin me like,
Them nikkas outta line how they came through,
Shot em in his face point blank left his brains blue,
Now who gone go for em,
Probly be the same crew,
Wen bangin is yo religion it's like it's sayin not to,
A lot nikkas ain't cut from that same cloth,
They might give em space,
Gotta play it safe,
Cause hard nikkas turn holy wen they catch a case,
I still bark real talk I'll never fake,
On hide park late night still chop a 8th and grind with the homies,
Serve dime with the homies
