Nipsey Hussle August 15 1985-March 31 2019

[Methodical]

damn yall look at this

 

[Marlo Barksdale]

he literally addressed this last year too in severa interviews.

he never lied about it

Lying and half-truths while not disclosing the full truth are two different things. You not gonna see him talk about it before December 2017. He knew the promo game and used the narrative to his advantage because that's always been his main draw.

It's been like a week and still not sitting right.

Part that really has me question life in general is that a man can come from nothing, change his life, become an inspiration and motivation to the people, and work so hard to bring his dream of buying his block back just to be taken out and kicked in the head while he's down by a nikka named shytty Cuz who probably ain't worked a day in his shoulda been aborted life. The fukk part of the game is that. Monumental and senseless loss

I’ll think about my parents and how much they loved the music of Eritrean singer Yemane Barya, who shared the unapologetic Eritrean experience during its fight for independence. Known as Abo dikha, which translates to “father of the poor ones,” Barya was the voice for my parents’ generation, weaving in political messages in love songs (the first which landed him in prison). Barya unexpectedly died in 1997. He was 48.

Hussle was our Barya. He died at 33, leaving a massive hole in our community that won’t be replaced. But we will continue the marathon. And one day, we’ll tell our children about our own Abo dikha.

I can't help but wonder why they haven't released the footage of Eric Holder's first trip up to the store.

Knowing firsthand how police & news media works, I also can't help but think they released the shooting footage to push one narrative and that the full footage may show Nipsey in a non-positive light.

Same way they released footage of Troy Ave shooting right after that incident to push a specific narrative. While I love all this positive news coverage, that normally doesn't last too long before some BS comes up. Karen Civil controls Black blogs tho.

You Eritrean?

Someone posted that Nip's brother took the footage from the store cams so it didn't hit the net, but what you're alluding to could also be a reason why we haven't seen it yet either.

He may have got the Marathon store cams but that neighboring building's cameras were the ones released showing the shooting. They have to have his first visit also.

Im just saying. The last peace treaty didnt last long.

This shyt will fade by June

I heard it cams all throughout that lil shopping plaza.T Mobile had a bird's eye view.

Did the first encounter happen in the store or in the lot? I'd also like to know how long it took Holder to leave and comeback. Still a lot of details that are blurry about everything that happened leading up to Nipsey's death.

Nah I aint mad, just always felt betrayed becauze his whole narrative was being all independent. Just reminds you how, in entertainment, none of this is what it seems, no matter how much they may say.

That Drama IG post was just shocking because it was the first time it was admitted publicly, especially just a few days after his death when it didn't even have to be mentioned in his post.

Yea that's that DJ drama fuc these niccas up type shyt cuz I never knew

Seen someone talking about unreleased tracks a few pages back. I always wanted a full version of this snippet. I use to play it on a loop continuously. This was around the time he was on the road heavy, grinding, when Victory Lap was still SCSOM I think. Around the same time as Hotel Room Music and 1 For Tha Money when he was sporadically droppin 1 offs.

"Was wishing on star then I became one. . .Was hoping you could see my dreams come true/Now I hope this moment means the world to you...cuz you are Amazing..."

 

[lightbearerchef]

Apparently this Holder dude was in the grindin all my life video?

Naa, go watch & see if you find him

 

[GoldenGlove]

Yea that's that DJ drama fuc these niccas up type shyt cuz I never knew

From Nipsey's last BFC interview he mentions that he had been in talks with Atlantic for years before signing, so I don't think he signed with them after he put out Crenshaw like Drama is alluding


I could be wrong tho
