Do u know if it’s open? I’m flying into LA Friday morning

Also, what’s it lookin like on a safety level for out of town nikkas to go to that area to pay respects

I dont believe the shop is open but they might be selling tees so everyone rocking the marathon as nip passes by 1 last time. Youll be straight im sure police gonna be deep. Maybe some fights but people in LA really hurt about dude so im hoping everyone chills and comes together for nips last ride man.

I wonder the context of the alleged last words, if it was conceding and asking for his life, essentially saying we are done here, or if it was defiant, as in "you shot me, and I'm still good". Neither would or should make him less of a man.

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.

Not musically, but it was Nip at his peak lyrically, flow & voice wise. TMC was an uneven project musically, but boy was my nikka spittin heat at that time.

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.

“Those editors don’t live this life. They don’t go through the struggle. I’m from the Rollin 60’s, my n***a. They don’t understand what putting an album out is to me. It ain’t the same as one of them backpack n***as, or one of them college-rapping types. That ain’t the shyt I do. I got enemies. I went to war for real in between albums. My life is real.”

cut it out. Nipsey was on that bullshyt to when he was Pac's age. He matured as he aged, Pac would have done the same.

Two different circumstances. One guy was really in the streets from a young age and made it out. The other was born outside the streets and tried to dabble into it when he got older. It was almost the opposite. I got much love and respect for Tupac, but let's be real here. Nipsey at 25 was much more mature than Tupac at the same age. It was also different time periods, aka crime was way worse during Pac's time, and especially homicide.

Pac was born in prison and lived in some of the worst neighborhoods in America. He was drawn to the streets because the Panthers were mostly street nikkas. Mutulu Shakur was a straight gangsta robbing banks and smoking cops, that was his father figure.

Yes he was on that Black political movement, but he didn't get on that Thug Life/Bloods/Crips BS until around the Death Row era (when he amped up that thug shyt). My main point is that Nip was on a more mature level than Pac at similar ages.

Anyway, I'm not going further because as a post above me said, this is about Nip. Let's keep it about Nip.

Nikka Tupac was born in Harlem in the 70s, lived in some of the worst ghettos in America in the 80s.. Baltimore, Marin City, Oakland
