This shyt still got me fukked up. I can't watch a tribute or listen to a song without shedding a few tears. This morning I was driving on the highway on the way to the crib and I almost broke down again. I legit can't even listen to Rap right now. That shyt is not hitting the same to me. I can't listen to no podcast or stand up special to try to laugh through it. People really don't understand. I been following Nipsey's career for 10+ years now. I saw the growth in his music and mentality from "Bullets Ain't Got No Names" to "Victory Lap" and how he started to speak more from a hustler's perspective instead of just a gangbanger. I feel like I was growing up with him because I'm not on the reckless shyt I was as a young nikka either. I started focusing more on getting money and increasing my liquid capital. Concepts that he talked about a lot in his interviews. I went on a 60 Day Run in January and ran up a fukkin' check. Nipsey, Payroll and Peezy was the soundtrack to that. That's why this shyt is hitting me the way that it is because for these past 3 months whenever I was feeling unmotivated or felt myself getting too comfortable, I would watch a Gary Vee or Nipsey interview to get back focused again. He was one of my motivators. This situation don't sit right with me at all.
Who is gonna deliver Nip's message the way he could? With that amount of humility? Who is out here that has that much charisma, that the younger generation actually respects and will listen to? Somebody that's not just talking about it but living it AND giving the blueprint out for free? Somebody that can actually speak with that much clarity on and off a beat and make hard to understand concepts easily digestible to the average listener? The only thing bringing me any sort of peace is that Nipsey got a lot of his business acumen from Blacc Sam. I know that he's gonna keep the ball rolling and make a lot of big moves in his brother's name.
I swear it don't even feel right typing all of that up about Nip.
The shyt that hurt the most is how he went out and the fact that people kept posting videos and pictures on Twitter and on here of him laid out on the ground like it was a fukking display. People really ain't shyt and have no respect for others or themselves, smh.
I didn't see this petition in the thread so I came in here to post it.... It's to change "Crenshaw & Slauson" to "Nipsey Hussle Blvd." It just needs 10k more signatures to get to 300k. It takes less than 5 minutes to sign.
