There will never be another Nipsey Hussle, but Ima hold down the strong values I heard him preach about...... one legend to another.
He worth way more than a post, dude was "Prolific" like he had tatted with his radical independent entrepreneur mindset, pushing black advancement n yeah he had a history of banging but it was part of his environment and served to be a testimony that u can make it out n branch off into positive endeavors.
Was definitely innovative with dropping Crenshaw charging $100 a copy. Sold all 1,000, Jay copped a hundred just off the ingenuity n boldness of the move.... real recognize. Came back with Mailbox Money, a bit more grandiose @ 1K but still managed to sell a respectable amount of copies, I mean any sold was a win for him at the price point lol but he proved it could be done....
Was involved in multiple businesses, aside from the Marathon Clothing he had a hair store, a fish spot, his own branded strain Marathon OG, nice Puma contract n collaboration, invested with a crypto company, and I'm sure other stuff I don't even know about.
Music was incredible, told his story yet mostly pushed a message of grinding, positivity, overcoming, some of it was negative but it spoke his truths about the reality of living in LA, the same place where he was unfortunately gunned down.
I got a few videos coming out in regards to him, it would've been an honor to get his take n opinion, I know he would've liked em, n to have smoked 1 n get knowledge from him about elevating.
Definitely 1 of the few people I respect in the rap game n give constant play, the All Money In No Money Out Marathon lifestyle must and will continue.....
GOD WILL RISE.
I could go on n on..... so many timeless tracks to me.
GOD WILL RISE.
And Rizza seems a great man.
