Nipsey Hussle August 15 1985-March 31 2019

[Arithmetic]

When the set say it's on, I'm expected to ride
When the world say I'm on I got the set on my side
Matter fact a nikka got the set on my back
Slauson boy, the world ain't ready for that
nikka, it's cold in my hood, ain't no hope in my hood
Couple homies couldn't cope, smokin' dope in my hood
But I could never ever be from no other hood
And I could never ever leave my folks in the hood
Thank the Lord every mornin' that I woke in the hood
And summers that I rode crome spokes in the hood
If I never sold a mil' off what I wrote in my hood
I ain't trippin' 'cause nikkas know I spoke for my hood

 

[Yaboysix]

Closest thing to jesus my generation

Brehs help me out right quick. I’m bouta put in for my Nipsey painting. I’m getting this pic painted and I told em I want lyrics in the background but I’m havin a hard time picking the lyrics to go with it cuz he got so much dope shyt. I was gon use

“I’m out here on a mission and I’m all alone,
I’m far from where I’m goin and I’m far from home, somehow I know I’m moving in the right direction, my mama always told me I was gon be special”

What y’all think I should use? This the pic I’m gettin painted

I'm finna get a nip tatt

I've had local painters paint shyt for me before. I'm definitely hitting one of em up for a Nip tribute for the crib soon as I work out what I want in my mind.

As far as lyrics, I feel like the following is something all of us can live by and reflect on every single day and it would be dope to look at em every time you wake up in my opinion:

And the distance in between us
It's the proof of my conclusion
So life is what you make it
I hope you make a movement
Hope your opportunity survives the opportunist
Hoping as you walk across the sand you see my shoeprint
And you follow, til it change your life, it's all evolution
And I hope you find your passion, cause I found mine in this music

Yeah I love that song too. Was also thinking the second verse on Face The World.

 

[Trav]

I replayed that track couple times today

Probably Top 5 Nip track for me personally. I let it and Real Big play back to back occasionally and just zone out for awhile.

 

[The War Report]

Such a fukking tragedy, goddamn.

 

[2Quik4UHoes]

The whole first verse of this song eeriely describes his killer and the scenario of his death



"Cause jealous nikkas dealing with emotions only bytches feel"

"Tell em to they face all the flaws that im noticing, I never fukked with yo type and I wont begin"

And then it’s, “Oh he’s on his high horse...”
But bottom line bytch nikka this is my horse
Never killin shyt, y’all just wait on it to die first
But this gon be the season that you vulture nikkaz fly north....

My fukkin nikka....

 

[Take It In Blood]

I know that's his grandma but I have a hard time believing Nip was able to use his phone and call his brother after getting shot in the head


One of his people's most likely called his bro



But I guess It's pretty normal for old people to be inaccurate with stuff just from dealing with them personally

 

[AkaDemiK]

I’ll never get over this shyt. Everyday I think about nip. God damn man.

 

[2Quik4UHoes]

This makes me think that if he wasn’t born where he was born he’d probably end up being an academic:

I really hope posts like this help people realize that they are a bunch of Nipseys and Pacs in the hood that just need the right amount of nurturing.

Nip got just enough to be able to convey his message. I hope they get that message though and don’t get lost in the thug shyt like with Pac.

Edit: I should add that I was very similar to Nip at this age writing poetry and stories. I wonder if it’s the Habo background cuz my dad always told me stories of back home and it played a part in my imagination when it came to stories.

A little of a work a holic shyt I might be
Up at 6 in the morning like I'm Ice T
Spent a grip on the Malcolm X, Spike Lee
Them other rappers never think they like me
On any given day 60 thousand on my white tee

I be on some business shyt
Y'all bring out the loc in me
Like a broke weed head, my pistol will smoke for free
Imani ain’t gonna know the streets
Got to keep her close to me
Put that on the man that’s on the cross on my rosery
Wasn’t always banging but I speak about it openly
No shame in my game
I did my thing, on the coldest streets
Who’s the hottest on the West
All you nikkas know it’s me
So tell whoever got it lock that Nipsey Hussle stole the key

The Marathon was my #1 mixtape of this decade. Played the shyt outta this.

What if blacc sam lied to her just to save her even more heartbreak .
There's another interview from baccsam where the details are slightly different

 

[Marlo Barksdale]

I don't even want to say this was a hater/jealous nikka. There are lots of them out there but would never do this to Nipsey. This was an assassin...a devil

This a normal occurence in the hood with people who have much less. Never underestimate another person's greed or jealousy.

Sadly, senseless murders are common and we gotta be realistic and realize it happens around us everyday.

Imma ball imma pop
Imma raise Emani
In the lap of luxury cause daddy aint no dummy but
How can I prepare you for a world so ugly
