Reality is there is no such thing as a positive gang banger. No matter how good your intentions are. Promoting that lifestyle is promoting and surrounding yourself with destruction. Many have tried and failed like nipsey to straddle both worlds. It never ends well. He just got further than most.

Folks keep talking about how we stop the cycle of violence... part of that is in the message you send the youth. They are listening. They are watching. And yall are misleading them by glorifying the gang lifestyle. And it will just lead to more youth thinking they can do the same thing and be that "positive gangster". The media loves pushing that image to black youth cause it's a trap. You will end up dead or in jail.

In all this mourning I don't hear anyone talking about leaving this gang stuff alone. I see blue flags on his RIP posters and shirts. If he wasnt a crip he wouldnt even be associated with the bum who shot him. We dont need the youth to try to be nipsey. That ain't the way.. We need them to emulate byron Allen, magic Johnson, Robert Smith etc.
You make some good points, but people are still high on emotions and might take it the wrong way

You keep trying yo give opinions and interject on a culture you have no connection or experience with.

I broke down the flaws in your last post and you decided to ignore the points made and just jump out with another essay of outsider input.

Nipsey only promoted his storyline, never promoting that joining a gang is cool or that kids across the country should join 60's. The fact that he was part of 60's gave him much more impact because his authenticity and opinion came from experience.. he wasn't speaking as an outsider when he set up the programs he did as a gang interventionist.

The fact that you are so focused on him being a gang member isn't taking into the intricacies of the culture of the area he had a foundation in. You say he wouldn't have gotten killed by a Crip if he wasn't from 60's.... Anybody who actually has any experience with what's going on would know they some millionaire rapper hanging around on Crenshaw and slauson trying to make moves and being out in the open with no affiliation would have got got by some crips a LONG time ago...

Stop trying to speak on a culture you don't understand. Celebrate how his gang membership made his impact that much deeper.

You're trying to dismiss a soldier who spent his time trying yo bring peace just because he was a soldier. Not taking into consideration that peace relies on other soldiers relating to the cause and the message for the guns to be put down.

You are ranting about what being a gang member means in your eyes instead of seeing how nipsey was changing what being a gang member means. Turn off your TV and Computer and talk to some people involved in the lifestyle and get their take on nipsey. I bet you'll be surprised.

If you fly out to LA often like you were saying, I'll link up with you to educate you on the points I'm saying with live examples in long Beach, Compton, watts, south central, and Inglewood. PM me for more info .

Sounds like you wanted him to be Common or Kendrick. It's very rare for a reputable figure to make it out gang turf and not be associated/active in any way.

And why would you be ok with black folk getting got by other black folks? You just admitted they are destructive to the community.

And in the end a crip did get him and he went out the same way many others do anyway. So all that he may have tried to do was for nothing. Another example of when keepin it real goes wrong.

You are taking it personal. Gangs are not positive figures in the community. They terrorize more then they help. This is not a diss to your hero nipsey. It is what it is. If there is any take away from this tragedy it's that the culture and lifestyle is ultimately self destructive. Sounds like you still havent learned that.

Dudes in here writing thesis statements defending gang culture.

We gotta do better.

Renounce all forms of gang violence and glorification of gang violence now!

Black growth and gang culture are simply incompatible... Stop sitting on the fence!

He was who he was. I didnt want him to be anybody. But some of yall want him to be malcom x but He ain't that. Being delusional helps no one.

Hard choices are still choices. He made more than enough money to get out the game. He choose to stay in it. Part of growing into a man is cutting folks off that keep you down and standing on your own two feet. I feel for those who cant get out but want to over those who make it out and go back.

You are changing the narrative of the argument.
You say nipsey would be alive if he weren't from. 60's. I say he wouldn't have accomplished what he did and would have fallen to the same fste earlier if he wasn't affiliated.

You say him being a Crip is a negative. I say him being a crip helped him change the game.

You try to change the argument to "well gangs are negative do you support gangs in the community"
I respond with gangs are a reality. If somebody could snap their fingers and make them go away I would be all for it. But that isn't happening. So the REALITY is we need gang members to push for peace from within to start the process to dissolve the whole issue. That is what nipsey was.

Where did I insinuate I'm ok with blacks killing blacks? Do you understand how out of touch you are right now?

You have no connection to the LA community or understanding for what was being done.

You are the only one speaking from emotions. You have no connection or experience with the topic at hand so you only have emotions and opinions from media that has been fed to you. My viewpoint is based on the FACTS and the dynamics of the culture that exists.

So why are you even typing? You are mad at a soldier who was speaking to other soldiers about a better solution. His impact would have been less if he wasn't a soldier. You are sitting around as a civilian trying to dictate the narrative. He was working alongside the police and local government to bring peace and development. Him being a gang member made his initiatives stronger. He didn't spend time trying to recruit members or actively banging. If you just wanted to be a Crip after listening to nipsey Hussle then you weren't really listening.

1. Who is defending gang culture. Quote it.

The rest of your post is just restating all the points that nipsey made. It's ironic and you don't even realize it.

Quote the people you are naming . This board doesn't have a singular opinion so why would you be surprised there are contradictory threads?

EDIT: You a whole faggit for negging me when I'm speaking facts. I don't care about your conspiracy theory BS either. If you gonna call nikkas out do it with quotes. The whole "well coli does this" type posts are fukkshyt. The coli argues all sides ofoevery issue dummy

Nipsey ‏ @NipseyFanpage
On behalf of Roc Nation/Jay-Z, Hov just set up a $15 million dollar trust fund for Nipsey’s kids with Lauren London as executive power over it. We been telling you, Jay-Z is the goat. Thanks for all the love Hov, we know you loved Nip a lot coz you saw yourself in him

Jay bought 100 of those $100 (thought they were $1,000 a piece) CDs.




I saw this post about jay opening the trust fund circulating and wanted to know if it was legit or more internet clit bait. Props to Hov if true
