That's totally different from elevating him to a status that many didn't regard him as while alive. Because truth be told, A LOT of these dudes up here wasn't even listening to him till he passed. Nipsey was a good artist but I'm not personally finna uphold him at a certain status just because he died when I wasn't doing that when he was alive. That shyt is fugazi as fukk. Fraudulent behavior.
But what I’m saying is I did elevate him to the same status people do now while he was still alive
because you asked for an example
and I’m sure many other people did as well
people have all this love and admiration for him (prior to and after his death) because he was a brilliant mind
the man didn’t need to die for certain people to recognize that is all I’m saying
A lot of rappers have died in the past few years
most of them aren’t celebrated the way nip and to an extent pop are
