Meek Mill, Lupe Fiasco, Wiz Khalifa, and many other artists are using their platform to call out the senseless crime. In the case of Wiz, he took a moment to mention that he and Curren$y were all grinding on their way to the top together in leaner times.
Broke me.... we really fighting for our lives against our own kind and really have to take risk and match the level of hatred that we are born in .. I’m tired 🙏🏾 prayers for my brother and his family
May God have mercy on your soul and bring peace to your family and friends.
You ARE a light and an inspiration to us all. And we gonna keep running this marathon. That yellow tape ain’t the finish line it’s the beginning of the victory lap. Legacy.
The date was March 29, 2009. Nipsey was in Chicago for a show at the House of Blues; he and Jay Rock -- with K. Dot as his hypeman -- were opening for The Game. That January, I spoke with Nip for DJBooth, and we exchanged contacts after the interview. pic.twitter.com/Hp9OhgPi7U
He soared so high and could've flew away yet he stayed down to earth inspiring others to strive to reach those once unattainable heights. Every conversation we had was warm and genuine. He was a difference maker who didn't merely bask in status, he offered hope God bless Nipsey
