Still hurts watching a clip like this



My dude walkin around without a care, always respectful


As much of a testament that is to the type of man he was, that's one of the reasons he was killed. He was far too important for his peoples to let him be so careless, reaching a point in his life where he needed to be protected at all costs. Perhaps they tried to tell him and he waved away their concerns. I don't know. But he was caught slipping, and it could have been avoided. :francis:

he said @ the end of his rap career he wanted to name his final album “the spook who sat by the door”...if you read that book and/or saw the movie then you know the program this young brother was on and why he was true to his neighborhood and made sure to stay in it instead of just helping from afar :wow: not to sound cliche but this clearly was not a man who was afraid to put himself @ risk/die for what he believed in and it explains why his family has been so strong

A friend of mine recently told me Nipsey references 'The Spook Who Sat By The Door' in some of his songs, adding that when he heard the mention, he started to understand how he could be killed in the senseless manner he was. He said Nipsey almost foretold what happened to him, as if he was prepared for an outcome he deemed to be inevitable.

This shyt still got me depressed. The world got cheated because some COWARD killed a KING. Nipsey was opening lanes for the inner city that government officials wouldn't. He opened up a WORK CENTER IN THE HOOD. For creative minds to come together. He was teaching black empowerment. We seriously lost a GENERAL for our community.

We all gotta pick up the baton in his name and continue this Marathon.

It's impossible to listen to this verse and not get emotional:wow:......This is nipsey literally speaking to us from the other side. He knew he was gonna die tragically at the hands of somebody close to him. And he knew he would be much more influential in death than he was in life. It feels like this was the only fitting end to his story. He accepted that shyt a long time ago. If he died in his sleep or in a car accident, it wouldn't have had the same impact. He had to die a heartless and cold death in order to reach the world. I'm not even a religious person but this verse gives me chills. Nipsey was very in tune with his energy. He knew exactly where his path was going. But he also knew his mission was bigger than life. That's why he took his victory lap before passing us the baton. Now we gotta finish what he started.



A young black man it's seems so useless
And I don't want no help
Just let me suffer through this
The world would not know Jesus Christ if there was never Judas
This knife that's in my back
It'd be the the truth that introduced us
And the distance inbetween 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 an evolution
And I hope you find your passion, cause I found mine in this music

Was listening to music on shuffle and lord knows by Pac comes on. That verse really made me think of Sam and Nip.
“Done lost too many nikkas to this gang-bangin'
Homies died in my arms, with his brains hangin, fukked up!
I had to tell him it was alright, and that's a lie
And he knew it when he shook and died, my God”

Man that really hit home
