At a base, surface , foundational level, yeah ... I really wish Nip didn’t allegedly say those words and even try to address that ... especially with an unstable killer with nothing to lose . Even if he had been functioning as an “inactive” figurehead for the hood, allegedly saying those words “reactivated” him.
However , there’s still more to this... and it’ll come out ... even if it’s just someone tipping off the gunman that Nip was at the store .
Just thought it was odd that one of the first vids from the scene shortly after the shooting was headlined on snap or the gram like “oooooooh they did Nip dirty, y’all”
And I think even some commentary echoing the headline accompanied the vid ... almost gloating in it (or at least gloating over posting an exclusive vid) under the guise of trying to express solemnity.
Off rip that shyt had me like


I’m like this is C&S, Marathon grounds , ground zero and your hood’s hero is dying and that’s how you choose to express what’s going on?!!
I dunno ... just hypothesizing , but there seems to have been a bit of disconnect within the hood among the players Nip was associated with regarding what some believed was his “untouchable status” ... while on neighborhood grounds . Not on some “superficial, show up to the video shoot , dap you up and throw the hood up love” shyt or some “chop it up with you at the store and show you love in your face” shyt neither ... on some deeper, value-based shyt ... there seemed to be a disconnect .
If you know the hood, then you know that’s plausible .
Especially when in a gang, still reppin the gang heavy AND trying to continue to forge your own way , doing radical things that are so uplifting but maybe not appreciated by all on a street level ... for a variety of reasons .
I know Sam is just shattered . Seems like he worked hard with Nip to try to continue to push past it ...
