1. you don't even have a verified account of the actual incident... so you're going off social media because you definitely dont have ears in LA
2. he wasnt simply a business owner in the same way malcolm X wasn't simply a public speaker
just admit that you not from LA. Don't really know anything that happened other than rumurs you hear on social media. And you have no insight into his actual current involvement in 60's
I don't get why it's so hard for people to stand down and not assume
Well obviously I’m going off what was reported to have happened.
If the reports are wrong then we really have nothing to talk about here.
The reports are from people actually standing there giving their account of what happened.
Beyond any of that Nipsey never pretended in his music or real life(slapping nikkas for parking spots) that he was that far removed from his gang life.
I’m not “assuming” anything. Everything I said was based off real verifiable info.
To say I am a fan of him and what he stood for would be an understatement.
(So much so that I got calls from my friends and family when victory lap dropped, and when news of his death came out as if he was my personal homie all the way in Ohio)
So my words don’t come from hate, but from love. Because again Nipsey was very real about the life he lead, and I think it’s a disservice to his legacy for people to be blaming the”Illuminati” or “not leaving the hood” for his death.
He lead a life that he knew was dangerous and tried to spread good within it. And I think that’s commendable and inspiring.
