RIP, he should have won the grammy this year as well for Victory Lap imo

Never listened to Nipsey but loved the song he featured on with The Neighbourhood. Unfortunately it looks like his death will prompt me to check out his work. What a shame.

His last tweet was worrying, seemed to be posted an hour before the shooting.

Had Victory Lap on repeat last year a tonne.

His mixtape The Marathon is brilliant too

Yea, that reads like he was threatened

Knocked me for 6 this one did, not a massive fan of his, but someone who was gang affiliated but worked with all sides as well, done loads for the community he's from as well to help bridge the gap in gang violence.


Absolute unnecessary loss of life.


I've read that there is uproar as there is a code in the LA gangs that Sundays are sacred.

Yeah, there was similar in The Wire when Omar got shot at taking his granny to church.


Sad loss of life, especially as mentioned with the community work he did.

Reading a bit more, it was the block where he grew up, he bought all of it, rejuvenated it. The store he was shot outside was his own store on the block.
The more I read about it, the more awful it's becoming.

I see that the LAPD have released the suspects name and photo. There is also footage of the murder, I'm not going to watch it but apparently he shot Nip, walked off, came back and shot him a couple more times and kicked him in the head.
All over some stupid question on whether he was a snitch or not. After that he went off and came back with his shooter.

More bad news on this; Vigil turned violent

Found this upsetting

The apparent murderer has been taking into custody last night.

Seen that, footage of his arrest as well floating about.
The thing now is, his face is known, he's already suspected as being a snitch and has murdered an icon. I fear that he wont survive too long in prison.


Alchemist wrote a tribute to Nipsey on Instagram, incredible story dating back to 2004 I think about when they first met, and pictures of Nipsey's rhyme book he left in the studio.

the killer checked into a mental health place under his own name which is how he was caught.
The conspiracy theorist in me thinks that he's going for the insanity plea.

I'd think the same. He was a jealous scumbag plain and simple and now doing his best to worm out of it.

Incredible the amount of good work he did.
Even more sad the reason he was at store was to help out an ex-con who had just got out of prison.
Talk about bad luck.

F**K i was really looking forward to what this guy was going to become. His Victory Lap album i thought was the one of my albums of the year, and he was up to all sorts creatively. RIP.

Maybe Boom Bap can bring the discussion from the other thread here. I will report my post just so he can see it.

Thanks for moving Boom!! Bit late to the party i was preoccupied during the week. Very very sad.

It's a shame that it's taken his death for me to listen more to him and appreciate his music more.

Formally charged with Nipseys murder. What a ****ing lowlife who has destroyed so many lives

https://news.sky.com/story/nipsey-hussle-man-charged-with-murder-of-rapper-in-la-shooting-11684491

For me, his best Mixtape.

I see he pleaded nor guilty and tried the old check into a mental institute excuse.

Hopefully he gets hammered by the Jury

It is a very very big loss
