RIP Nipsey Hussle. Been a little over a week and I am still trying to process this shit. I knew of him, knew what he was doing in and around his community, his involvement with Crypto Currency, real estate but never really listened to his music. I kid you not, since his death I have OD'd on any and everything Nip Hussle...his interviews and his music. The sense of loss that I am experiencing I think stems from the hope and potential that he himself had and how he was inspiring others especially younger cats within his community. I remember when BIG and Pac died, but this shit just feels different. His death has caused me to take an introspective look at myself and ask whatever I do or am doing has to be way bigger than me. How am I inspiring others coming up? Don't have kids yet, but with my nephews and just others back where I am from - I am asking how can I inspire them, how can I spark a fire to strive for greatness? It is about the collective not just self.
Sad it took his death for me to really go and listen to his music, but I will tell anyone, if you need some inspiration or the soundtrack to get motivated...go listen to Victory Lap...because there will be days where you won't feel like doing shit...but his music will audibly kick your ass into gear.
This cat was intelligent as he was compassionate and considerate. From his business model being vertically integrated, his store on Crenshaw being a smart store, his Vector 90 space, his STEM initiatives he was trying to do around the city, his real estate, the types of books he was reading, the Sebi documentary to providing clothing for kids in neighborhood schools, to even the act of kindness in going to get clothes for his peoples who just came home that caused him to be where he was at the time of his untimely demise...damn.
If there is any positive that I can find in this, is that I hope the spark I feel within myself, I hope there is a multitude of others that feels the same way. Maybe that was his purpose.
The marathon continues...

Some from Kodak's community ain't got his back. Sorry if a repost.
Ermias Joseph Asghedom, reminds me of President Obama. To me, Africans speaking on our issues is the same as a white person. They grew up in an environment where their parents happily chose to live in the United States. In many cases, their ancestors participated in the slave trade and cannot openly condemn Whites for doing it. Whites prefer to put them in a position of power over us and be our spokeperson because of their different situation.
The British colonize their countries, however, they freely traded with Southern Slavers until the British condemned slavery and shut it down. Their working with whites to enrich themselves is nothing new and an old practice.
Why did he not use his real name? Was he trying to deceive us?

Maaaan GTFOH wit this bullshit.
Rest In Paradise Nipsey, never forget you Young King!
For those of us that were aware and listened to Nip when he was alive, it hurts more.
Literally, Nipsey (along with Killer Mike & others) was/is the soundtrack to my grind.
Everybody in my circle know I fuck with him and was hitting me up. I put countless people on to his movement, even my real estate agent.
I got a homegirl from L.A. she got me some Marathon shirts when she went back in 2017, I love her for that. I would wear them in ATL and whenever I traveled abroad.
It closed on my first house March 29th, I was in it when my homegirl text me that Nip got shot, I immediately did a search and 8-11 min later saw the headline that Nipsey was killed. I been sick every since.
Many dont understand how rap raised so many of us. With no father, no brothers, etc. all I had was rap to learn from. It's been over a week and I'm still hurt & in disbelief. I can't watch or read certain shit or I'll start breaking.
"Live your life & grow" -Nipsey
This is how I'm going to keep living, continue to build businesses, invest in myself and my community, employ & empower my people. Exercise control & make the most of my influence.
The Marathon Continues
Props & Respect

This shit is wild...
The muthafuckin police bumpin Nip's shit with his face projected on the building....
You know you are a special individual when you got the fuckin police sadded by your death
The marathon continues Erm
Nothing but respect they have for Nip!
Young Nip Hussle Tha Great
Respect
Going to the police complaining about gang violence wasn't a good idea because of some of the illicit activities they may be involved in.
After President Obama, I do not like anybody non ADOS speaking on our behalf. We can unify on many issues but because there's a pattern of whites using non ADOS to undermine us, they need to take a timeout. My post shows you why they are different and vulnerable targets for white supremacist to exploit.
I see you can't comprehend what GTFOH WIT THAT BULLSHIT means.
That shit you kickin don't have a damn thing to do with nothin in this thread. You tryin to say no black person in the struggle other than ADOS black people can help inspire and uplift the black community which raised them????
If so,you ignorant as fuck and deserve a ban.
The division that racist cacs exploit are caused by people like you.
Black is black nigga we're all children of Africa.
You need to study your history...
Maybe this topic is above your level of understanding. Their perspective of whites is different and willingly came to the U.S.
They sent a delegation to Europe to protest them abolishing slavery. They partnered with whites regarding slavery to buy guns and other manufactured goods.
It is nothing personal to Ermias Asghedom I don't know him just a pattern of behavior that is making me suspicious.

You need to quit! What does your hatred of Africans have to do with his death?
Did he go around condemning African Americans?
Wasn't he born in L.A?
Did he have a different experience from ADOS in his neighborhood?
Weren't the main recipients of his good works AAs?
You need to express yourself in another thread, this is not it. There are several ADOS vs Africans thread out there where you are quite an lively participant, this thread has nothing to do with your "wokeness".
If you are a well paid black entertainer setup by your white handler stay away from the police and co-signing their talking points. You better be like Isiah Washington saying we are over policed.
Especially if you are an African pretending to be black. It is a tragic situation but what about the person dying in prison.
I sound cold but I had many of these fools sic on me trying to get paid causing tragedy.
