Been reflecting on something similar to your original post the last few days (without having seen it til now) as someone who isn't from that background. Literally was thinking about the parallels between Nip and Malcolm X over lunch today.

This verse of his keeps coming back to me and is relevant:

See it's a couple nikkas every generation
I wasn't supposed to make it out, but decode the Matrix
And when they get to speak, it's like a coded language

Reminds nikkas it ain't strength in all this stolen greatness

We used to shoot at nikkas' at the Mobil station
Full circle, mogul motivation
My, self-educated, suit, negotiations
Got these sharks that I'm sitting at this table with afraid to bait me
No tint on my Mercedes, that's for inspiration
Two kilos on my neck, like the fukkin' 80's
Boy south Slauson Ave know my demosntration
Born and raised y'all affiliated
This is really greatness
Riding around like I really made it
Loaded bases I'm gon' Willy Mason

I keep coming back to myself asking what I can do. Like...how can I pick up the torch and what role can I play as a black dude who grew up in the burbs instead of coming from the mud like Nip did to have that same impact. Still don't know the answer. Maybe the answer is I'll never be able to connect that way, but it's not the point.

That's part of what makes this shyt suck so bad - it's not easy to come from where Nip came from and have his vision.
Men like Nipsey don't come around that often. He was a rare breed. All one can do is heed the example he set and keep it thorough in everything he or she does. :francis:

The Marathon Clothing store hired mostly felons because they often have a hard time finding work with a criminal record. Felons also are prohibited from carrying guns.

“Because of that, the man was able to shoot my brother, start running, realize nobody out there had a gun, stop, turn back around, walk up, shoot my brother two more times, start to run, realize nobody had a gun, nobody was responding, ran back up and shot my brother three more times, shoot him in the head and kicked him in the head and then ran off,” Samiel dissected.

If somebody would’ve been there — if I would’ve been there — I would’ve shot back,” he said. “I just wish I would’ve been there.”

I’m still too shocked and hurt to say much in this thread and regret reading the last 3 pages.

But for all y’all wondering about a stupid ass conspiracy go on Big U instagram and fast forward the IG Live video to about 4:30.

He makes it clear what really happened.

I’m out.

Blac Sam was the one in those clips giving his brother CPR?

:mjcry:



He’s not confirming the whole snitch/altercation story the media was reporting earlier in the week. He has questions if it was a hit also.
From that article, his bro doesn't acknowledge anything about Nipsey telling Holder to leave. So if that's the case, I don't know what is going on and I'm completely lost.

Insanely sad, depressing, amazing to see love across the world wise,.. Definitely the brutality of it is alarming.. Like being mad is one thing, let off a shot or 2 and take off ... But to triple back and end with a head shot... The void in the culture this one leaves... :mjcry: .. Seeing the headlines almost a week later, still makes me smh

This quote from Blacc Sam of the LA Times article is just shocking... :mjcry:

He didn't clear up anything. Be a critical thinker. :francis:
