Breh you telling the truth. I keep seeing people post that prime Dom was back on this track, but I just wasn't hearing it. He sounded cool, but this was in no way the Yellow Album/Get Home Safely Dom. He lost something in his spirit, just can't figure out what it is. Did something happen with dudes health?

Yeah I always see comments about Dom being back since last year but my ear too good. I think he did have some type of health issues his camp kept from the public.

Again, he sounded the best I've heard on Double Up the last 2.5 years (shout out to Nip for that) BUT

Nobody can say Dom sound like this today...he don't even adlib like he used to



I don't even think Dom can rap "fast" like this anymore

Dom come with that slow & smooth swag most of the time, but he could always rap when he had to.




He always added that sauce to features also. He was usually outshining these real emcees on tracks.

Nipsey Hussle Tells The Epic Stories Behind 'Victory Lap,' Track By Track

Nipsey tells the story of the making of or thought behind every song.

I dug this one.

"Succa Proof"

I've been known to be real positive lately, real business astute and an inspirational figure. But I have to tap back into the energy of what this is. We ain't endorsing celebrities and gang membership. We ain't doing that in my tribe. We trying to redefine the tribe. We trying to stimulate the young people that did come from jail. But I been there; we trying to be on good terms.


This ain't no subliminal diss for anybody that started bangin' after they were successful. That's Soulja Boy; that's Chris Brown. If the shoes fits, wear it. I know Soulja Boy and I know Chris Brown, but I want to be real. As far as gang bangin', they're not gang bangers. You probably are a real n****. But as far as Piru, Crip, Blood, you're not a Blood, you're not a Piru. You'll never be one, period. You're not a Crip. That's just a fact. Stop playing. I got dead homies from this, for real.


Do I feel like Soulja Boy's not a man? Nah. I respect Soulja Boy. I've been in the club with Soulja Boy. [But] if I got a little brother and he's doing goofy s***, I'ma tell him: That's goofy, bro. That ain't a hundred. But I still got love for you. You still my brother, but that's goofy and we ain't condoning that type of goofiness. Period. That's what this song is about. We ain't gonna tell you to gang bang; we gonna tell you to buy out the block. And we gonna support the businesses and create tourism around here. This is Crenshaw Boulevard. This is a famous street.

fukk a Ford dealership, we up in Forbes. Watching and they wishing that it wasn't yours.



Dom was like 85-90% prime Dom on Double Up but that 2010-2014/15 Dom might never come back mane.

His voice still kinda off/low energy although this verse had some energy to it, Nip probably made him redo his verse 20 times.

I feel like anybody who says Dom Kennedy is "back" wasn't really a fan of Dom in the first place or wasn't really listening. Homie still sounds uninspired. "Half A Mill" started to give me hope but this verse he gave Nip was some bullshyt.

Double Up verse sounds better to me than the Half A Mil tape tbh lol. But yeah, he still isn't what he used to be. Real Dom fans remember what he really was. I really think he had some health issues cuz his type of style wasn't hard to maintain.

Now I'm actually convinced that it might be some health shyt. Dom knows the importance of this album for Nip. I think he would have gave him a better verse if he could but he simply can't.
