They definitely wont to a know gang member. Thats why ppl like him hire off duty cops to hold them down. He could most certainly afford an armed guard.

Again, the 60s takin an L wit this. They shoulda had some young n1ggaz holding in case shyt jumped off. Biggest black gang in LA and Nip is basically with 2 or 3 n1ggaz :mindblown:


Yeah. That part, I won't be able to shake. My nikka should've had the 60s version of a squadron with him whenever back in the hood. Or at least a small brigade. Or at least his day ones that he usually is with in the hood like J Stone or Cobby Supreme. I can't see neither of them two letting some shyt like that happen. They seem too seasoned. Whatever 2 nikkas he was with just chopping it up with wasn't on it like that. And I ain't gon judge em cuz just b/c you in a gang doesn't mean you a shooter. A lot of people join gangs because they're scared. On top of that, when something unexpected happens on a dime like that, nikkas can talk about what they would do, but that adrenaline is a different beast and so is the fight or flight mode that comes with it.

I could never live in non open carry state where gangs run shyt. In Louisiana/Texas guns is a way of life. We go to gun shows and buy shyt you only see on tv. Nip was too big of a figure to be at ground zero without armed security. You gotta move like Al Haymon when you that big. Be behind the scenes making moves, not infront of the store (too easy to get touched).

Whats crazy is all these tag alongs be mugging, throwing they hood up,and strapped up in music videos, but when life come at you fast these nikkas take flight like scooby doo.


that's the thing tho....when u move like AL Haymon nobody knows you and you can't inspire. Most black people dont know Al Haymon or a guy like Byron Allen. But Nips whole thing was he was accessible and people could follow his journey/blueprint and learn from it and be inspired from it.

It's a double edged sword.

I get it. But when you take that “easily touched” path, then you better come to the realization you wont be on earth to long. I think Nip knew that too.

Edit

NIP should have atleast hired the NOI for security. But this is all after the fact BS im spitting.

Nip got killed by 1 person

Their downfall = Not having proper security...

This. Your boys cant be security when they are there to chill and party with you too because no high level head of state or business person moves that way. They get in, take care of business and they they are out. No chilling for an extended period of time and they have eyes on them always because one hater fukks the whole thing up.

Let someone else absorb those shots but if the breadwinner of the crew gets touched then the one thing everyone is there for is a failure. And these brehs gotta learn to be aware of their surroundings always and not want to be at the same spot for hours where anyone can text your location.

shyt, you go to a concert and the moment after you perform, you should be out of the venue immediately as long as you got paid (which should happen when you arrive). And as much as these brehs try to clown 50 for having security, it took one bad incident BEFORE he was someone for him to realize how real shyt can/will get. I bet no one will every get close enough to him again without getting ripped to pieces.

This aint a movie or TV show. They cant have guns hanging around there because they're already considered a gang and the store is constantly raided & harrassed by police. They already likely don't have the cleanest of records.

Risk 5 years plus gang enhancement for a dirty gun.

I think Nip knew what could happen and that was the risk he was taking. Like Julius Malema says you got to prepared to die if you trying to make progress for black people
