Requiem For Nipsey

I Remember When I First Heard You On The “Crenshaw” Tape In 2013. One of My Guys Put Me On To You.

All I Could Remember Saying That That: “He Has A Really Unique Voice.” “His Stories Sound Authentic & Believable.” “This Dude Has This Undeniable Hunger.” & of Course “He Sounds Like He’s From L.A.”

As A Man. I Could Feel The Strength In Your Spirit Everytime I Heard You Speak.

I Remember A Saying We Had In The Military: “Every Man Holds His Rank In His Eyes.”

You Were A Lieutenant.

Definitely A Warrior Spirit. 

You Really Showed Kats A Different Way To Hustle As An Independent. You Were A Self-made Man For Real.

And When You Went Mainstream I Prayed For You. Because I Know There Is Always A Price To Pay Dancing With Lucy..

Myself Just Like Everyone Else Does Not Fully Know The Circumstances That Lead To Your Death. So I’m Not Even Going To Try To Be A Hood Detective On This One.

But The Hood Loved & Respected You So One of Our Own Killing You Does Not Even Add Up.

Though There Have Been Numerous Cases of So-Called “Gang Related Shootings” That End Up Being Hits Put Out On “Black People” Who Rose Up And Created A Following That Were On The Path To Enlightenment & Independence. I Can Already See The Media Headlines of This Being “Gang Related” Somehow.

As I Type, I Can Already Feel The Organizing of Some Hip-Hop Summit Being Hosted By Angela Rye, Sway & Charlamagne The God. That Ain’t Gonna Do Nothing But Get A Bunch of Ratings For Some White Owned Network. [Black Hollywood Is So Fc%king Annoying]

But Your Legacy Is Cemented Bruv.

You Were Already A Legend & Hopefully You Are Sitting Next To The Lord In Paradise..

But We Still Here. Trying To Figure It All Out.

Thank You For Leading The Way.

Your Bruv
