Nipsey Hussle August 15 1985-March 31 2019

Yeah. I hate the lazier spaced out flow Nipsey started doing after the TMC series where he only says like 5 words each bar. That and his voice got really scratchy. That's why you can tell which tracks on Victory Lap were years old.

The TMC era was Nip's peak musically.

I felt this way too but...

Nah. His newer flow and voice was more swagged out.

This is right. Plus he broke the old flow out on certain songs on newer projects too. I lowkey didn’t realize this til now. I liked his newer work but not as much as his old music. Now it’s equal.

I'm glad Nipsey's Mother made the Statement that she did... I've been feeling the same way, these past few days, but was afraid to post my feelings due to how ppl will take it. I am also at peace with the passing of Nipsey. That Brother died as a Legend! He will be remembered in the same regard as PAC... It will make ppl go back and Disect his music further (including myself.. As I stated previously, I never fukked with his music heavily while he was among us.. I more so fukked with his movement and beliefs. But now after his passing, it's making me go back and listen to all his albums.)

And this is very important. People getting all upset that some folks are playing his music now after he's died sound very stupid. Many may not have been into his music at the time but they definitely appreciated what he was doing for the community and his drive for success the right way (buying property, opening businesses, etc.), so he gained a lot of respect for that. Probably more respect for that side than his music honestly. And whose to say that him doing all that community work would not have led the same people to start fukking with his music eventually if he was still alive?

I know a few people like you and I'm glad that they're listening to his music. Better late than never.

First off he is not Pac. Don't get your panties wet over what I said. He passed and yes he did things but to say he's pac like some soldier and didn't gave a fvck? Go eat your idols ghostwritten lyrics. I'm done.

The difference between 2pac and Nipsey is 2pac only SAID the things he want or intended to do. Nipsey ACTED upon it. He's more than Pac. The problem is that people romanticized everything 2pac was about and forgotten before he was killed he was the most divisive rapper in hip hop. And he wasn't a soldier. He didn't lead anything. Let's be honest about this. He was someone who lived his heart on his sleeve and was honest and real about everything he speak on and he had visions and goals that he wished could happen, but he was problematic and overly reactionary which put him in the crosshairs of drama. We can go on and on with conspiracies about 2pac's death, but the reality is that he was killed by Orlando Anderson squarely because 'Pac hopped on some drama shyt at Las Vegas. I mean we rather glorify that "don't give a fukk" attitude, but that's the thing that got him into a lot of those situations and blind sighted loyalty with people.

Nipsey was a different type of person. He wasn't someone who never was part of gang culture but injected himself with that climate like 2pac had. He was bred into it and worked consistently in trying to transform it. You wouldn't have the love and respect that he's not receiving he's receiving now had it been 2pac, because of them being completely different circumstances. There wasn't a gang unity rallied around 2pac. There wasn't grievance by the LAPD to where even the chief of police mourned this loss. This was out of mutual love and respect for this man and what he was actively doing and the senseless way he was killed. Far different from 2pac.

And this isn't really with any disrespect to what 2pac was legacy-wise. He was a highly intelligent, very personal, charismatic and truthful soul. But let's kill romanticizing him as if he was of deity. He was someone that was flawed and made some bad decisions which led a path to his own demise. The things he had potential of becoming that we all saw he had in him was lost due to being too invested with the ignorance of the streets. That same ignorance that Nipsey was actively trying to eradicate and not just through talk but with action.

Man I wished I was there for this.

Damn all the tickets to his funeral sold out. I've had this browser open since 9:30am. Kinda disappointed but maybe I can still get in somehow. May have to just catch his parade though.

Slauson Ave, do you understand the averages?

[Julius Leisure]

Damn! 25.5 miles.... should’ve been 26.2!!

 

[WeDemBoyz]

Nipsey was in his neighborhood keeping it alive all the time...do y'all understand?

 

[Icantspell]

I just got off the waiting thing and all the tickets are gone

Volumes to my savages

You probably had to have your browser open at 7am to get the right spot in line. Anyone who opened it up at 9:15am and waited didn't get tickets. I'll still show up cause you never know.
