It’s not a lost cause, it just seems like it is because the majority of disenfranchised black folk scattered around this country don’t move as a collective.

Especially our youth (and even older people) coming from impoverished neighborhoods. They don’t value things like ownership, usually lack a strong foundational family structure, lack any real culturual or spiritual belief, and in turn don’t value the lives of those around them.

That’s why it’s fukked up out here for us.
You help people get the hell out the hood not stay there.

The body not cold and they already assassinating the mans character


Nipsey Hussle calling his 2018 debut studio album Victory Lap was fitting because it seemed like the pinnacle of his journey up till that point. He took the scenic route to higher ground on the Billboard charts but landed a Grammy nomination for Best Rap Album on his first crack at a formal mainstream album rollout. Even so, there was still room for improvement. Nipsey was getting better at his craft, becoming a more pointed storyteller without sacrificing the subtle, unpolished, conversational tone that made him an instrumental voice in Los Angeles rap. (There aren’t too many rappers in any corner of the country daring enough to touch a “Hard Knock Life” sample, as Victory Lap’s “Hussle & Motivate” did, and make a mark on it.) He was also tangling with questionable thought processes. At times, he entertained conspiracy theories, pseudoscience, sexism, and homophobia. He sometimes shared ideas that complicated his mission of improving the quality of black life by making his message conditional and divisive, feeding into old rifts between straight and queer black hip-hop fans, and between black men and black women. Hussle was far from perfect, but he was trying. His good ideas don’t make his bad ideas less unacceptable. His bad ideas don’t make his death any less tragic.

:scust:
this is why a culture needs its own gate keepers. modern cac values are not congruent with rap culture values... manhood, independence, non conformism. that's how I read it, if they had a problem with that it's probably because they lbgtq... If some clown is offended then don't lend them audience. the internet full of shyt... sensor yourself. don't source shyt from a site called vulture. :skip:

I'm tryna hear from people that have CULTURAL CURRENCY. fukk a vulture :camby:



"his weakness was criptonite.... I can't fukk with superman" :skip:

I wish people would stop with this Dr. Sebi conspiracy :snoop:
30 minutes after word came out he passed my homeboy text me like "I'm pretty sure it's because of the Dr. Sebi documentary :jbhmm:"

My mans ain't even been dead an hour and nikkas already thinking they cracked the case talking about he died over some goji berries and the cure for aids :snoop: This is one of the downsides of 2019 and living in this internet/social media era. Everybody think they Columbo when some shyt hit the fan. Even if it was a conspiracy, who do you think will be held accountable? :childplease:

Kill that conspiracy noise and just let my mans be in peace and get adjusted to his new home in paradise.

I said it earlier, I don’t care what these people think and it’s not worth getting upset over because all they want is your attention and reaction anyway.

If you show them that you don’t care about their opinion, then you’ve won and they get outraged. Because then they know they can’t tell you how to feel about anything.

RIP to a great man.
