    As someone from LA Nipsey is the first person who came to mind. Half these mfz didnt' care about Nipsey before he died i'll tell you that lol

    Nipsey was always an underground artist that got cosigns from big artists. I was a fan of his from maybe 2009 or whatever but he was always underground until he died only got famous after he passed

    Yeah I remember Nipsey being one of the more recognizable names in the blog era where Wiz, KRIT, Spitta, and J.Cole were still making a name for themselves. I respect Nipsey and think his music is pretty f***ing good, but i've seen so many people who already knew who Nipsey was act like he was their favorite rapper since way back even though they showed him no love when he was here

    People really adopted the whole Marathon philosophy as their whole identity after he died so they can appear to be on some get money hustler type s*** lol

    Not before he died tbh

    How often do people get their murals while they’re still alive

  • Bernie X

    How often do people get their murals while they’re still alive

    true, I was just making that point because him having murals in the city doesn't really negate the fact that many people started d*** riding him after death while showing no love while he was here

  • Probably the “emo” rappers

    Victory Lap was Grammy nominated while he was alive, death of course speeds things up but he was gaining momentum within the mainstream off the success of that album

    it applies to x and juice though

    His last album seemed to be the one that was gonna break him out. It was Grammy nominated, I remember the song wit Ceelo was on MLB the show, when it was released it caused the most conversation he had ever had for an album.

    Honestly impressive how he stepped it up for that album after basically being a veteran in the game by that point

    Classic album

    Agreed. During a time when all the rappers were leaned out and talking about being sad and doing d**** it was refreshing for someone to come out with some hustle and positivity in the music

  • If the metaverse unfortunately takes off I hope y'all will join me in 15-25 years digitally slapping contrarian idiots who will try to say 'now that Stevie Wonder's gone, can we admit he's overrated' or some stupid stuff like that

    There will be digital blood & broken nose fragments on my hands

    discussing some random twitter opinion is always weird to me

  • One of the coolest things Nipsey ever did was selling Crenshaw for $100 cause he believed in his music then Hov bought 100 copies lol
