This East Coast vs. West Coast shit has GOT TO STOP. Too many lives have been taken.

preach
my knowledge of the guy only extends to that track he did with Kendrick, but reading up on all of his stuff, he seemed like he genuinely wanted to make a change. Shit sucks.

I've dealt with the aftermath of a lot of this dude's shows in Seattle in recent years but this is still sad. like Get Low said, this nonsense has got to stop.

Never really listened to his music, but I appreciate how he gave back to his community. Shame what happened

RIP so hard, this fuckin blows. :[

RIP

Heartbreaking, rest in peace

not a big hip-hop fan, but that vid/song above ain't bad.

RIP

Sad, yet extremely predictable that a guy who brags abour stuff like "32 extendos in my MAC" and "murder rate increasing if I snap" is going to be a dead gangster. Saying nothing about the culture of murder these guys promote and acting like he's just another John Lennon or MLK Jr is not helping anyone.

ofc it would sound like bragging to some nerd who listens to nothing but dad rock

police have confirmed it was due to a personal dispute but this genius is over here talking about some lyrics

@Keyblade oh please. Yeah, "personal dispute" with another Crip who also has no problem murdering to solve his "personal disputes."

ur out of ur element, go bang one out to led zeppelin and keep it moving

Friday pls stop.

led zeppelin rules

Husseld his last Nipsey.

was great in the movie 'Wildcats'. The goldie hawn vehicle

are u dumb? a simple google search would show u all the community activism he did

RIP

Some stupid people in this thread smmfh

"Saying nothing about the culture of murder these guys promote and acting like he's just another John Lennon or MLK Jr is not helping anyone."

the enlightened boomer

Keyblade, so did Capone, so did Escobar. He was in a gang and promoted the lifestyle. But let’s ignore that, right?

thought I was in the reagan era for a second when I read that

only knowledge of him was his song Hold Up from the grand theft auto 5 soundtrack. checked out the song Victory Lap. it's a banger. RIP.

but really tho, some of these comments make me ashamed to be a Sputnik user, if you don't know anything about an artist don't just make shit up because you googled some lyrics you troglodyte.

take five seconds to read what happened to him, the man was literally meeting with the LAPD the following day to discuss anti-gang initiatives, he actively was committed to stopping violence and was doing a ton of positive things for his neighborhood, including opening a business and providing jobs to his community. Man if you don't know what the fuck you're talking about don't talk about it.

u would think there are easier ways of saying the N word without actually saying it than logging into a music site u barely use to shit on a dead rapper u just heard of yesterday

It's amazing how people can't differentiate between music and real life.
The guy works on changing his ways and trying to improve his community and it's oh he said some bad words. They always ignore it coming from someone they like though.

Nobody gave a shit when he was alive and now that he's dead you want to put on this holier than thou attitude about it. Where was your concern for inner city gun violence before this? Exactly, you only care right now because it's trending. Get the fuck off your high horse. Oh and xfearbefore, "troglodyte"? Nobody talks like that, if you're going to talk shit put the dictionary down, you just sound like an asshole.

"Nobody gave a shit when he was alive and now that he's dead you want to put on this holier than thou attitude about it. Where was your concern for inner city gun violence before this? "

why are u acting like ur concerned about 'inner city gun violence' (just say what u mean dawg), beyond using it as a stick to beat a dead guy over the head with? nobody even expressed concern, they were just correcting ur hoe ass

Lol

in other news: violent video games are causing mass shootings and death metal is making kids eat their parents alive. more at 10

and did you know KISS stands for Knights In Satan's Service? watch out moms!

I don't want to drag this out, so two things and I'm done.
First, I never claimed the lyrics by themselves were proof of Hussle still being a gangbanger. Sources like TMZ and Daily Beast report that what set off the Crip murderer was Hussle publicly calling him a snitch at his store and denied him service. Sounds like gang behavior to me, but of course it could be false. Second, Hussle did some good for his community, which I did read about the day of the murder. I simply thought most coverage was glossing over the evidence the guy was still involved in gangbanging.

Now excuse me as I listen to my dad rock and ponder my obsolete views in my geriatric home.

"Hussle publicly calling him a snitch at his store and denied him service. Sounds like gang behavior to me"

wow.... just wow dude

Despite being only 13%...

Now excuse me as I listen to my dad rock and ponder my obsolete views in my geriatric home.

ok bye

Since when is calling someone a snitch is “gang behavior”? Lmaooooo

"Oh and xfearbefore, "troglodyte"? Nobody talks like that, if you're going to talk shit put the dictionary down, you just sound like an asshole. "

Just cuz you don't know a pretty common word doesn't mean someone is on sput with a dictionary in hand lol

RIP... this place slept on Victory Lap really hard last year

Also lol this thread

"Hussle publicly calling him a snitch at his store and denied him service. Sounds like gang behavior to me"

just embarrassing

Seriously what an idiot lol.

hey guys, not that I agree with this boomer fuckery, cause I don't

but ya'll are fretting on the one thing that he got right, adhering to snitching code is literally gang member behavior. point blank period that's just who that sort of thing really applies to

nipsey hussle was indeed a crip. a gang member, but a gang member who worked his way out of an environment where crime was the prominent option of income. gang member =/= bad horrible person that does nothing but kill people

""troglodyte"? Nobody talks like that"

as dark and awful as this thread is this made me laugh very hard

troglodyte is a top tier word

massive troglodyte alert @tina

I ain't nippsy, I can't hussle in the west, cuz the south is in my chest. RIP

"troglodyte" honestly using the dictionary to roast somebody is one of most baller moves of all time
