Man, this whole situation has been on my mind all week. I wasn’t some huge Nipsey fan and never heard a full project from him until Monday when I finally checked out Victory Lap (dope as fukk and been on repeat since). I just always respected what he was doing, how he moved, and the principles he stood by. He was just a real ass nikka. I’ve been knowing who he was for the past ten years or more, but he was JUST starting to get his just due and had so many projects on the horizon, then this happened. I honestly haven’t been this affected by a rapper’s death since Pac (though I was/am a big Pac fan). Even Biggie’s death didn’t hit me like this, and I was more of a Biggie fan at the time of his death than I was of Nip.
