Coli breh myth 237# Nipsey wasn't known when he was alive... (Oh wow Nipsey with daughter at Grammys)

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

he was out there but not a household name. Popularity is a scale

 

[bourgeoisie tall freak]

Wrong.....One post = 'gossipping' and had nothing to do with him as a recording artist. Nice reach, but doesn't work. IDK who that dude was before he died.​

if you dont listen to him just say that, but you def knew him before he died. had his whole name in your mouth had you reminiscing and relating to him and all that.

You are not a REAL hip hop fan unless you listen to this specific list of artists that only I know and can change at any moment to suit my argument.

A

there’s nothing unusual about it…it’s just weird ass fans that low key want to “brag” about being the “first” to have known about an artist…why the fukk wouldn’t ppl be curious to hear the music of an artist they overlooked/didn’t know about upon hearing about them passing…especially if they’re hearing positive things about their music or actually hearing folks play their music that they may not have heard before?

imagine a real fan of his being “upset” that more ppl are learning about his music

People with subpar personalities and no hobbies feel like they have to overcompensate by gatekeeping things they like.

Ever notice how a lot of these "super stans" of artists can't hold a conversation about anything else for more than five minutes?

All I knew is that he slapped a gay man......like the bus driver that uppercut that chick.

I have no idea who either of them are outside those incidents. To say I 'knew' him is beyond a reach, but understandable for those trying to make an argument they can't win.

Next thing you know, you'll be saying I 'knew' the Indian guy who said 'How can she slap!!!', or the guy who said 'You dun goofed!'​

Nip wasn't getting play in the club, or radio waves on east coast and south before his death. I can tell you thay much. Nobody in those circles was even talking about you heard his new mixtape or this song. Only wesr coasters fukked with him and those super serious hip hop heads that listen to all kinds of shyt. He was C list. Not an insult just a reality.

well before that your specific goal post was "i never heard of him before he died". then it's i didn't "knew" him in quotes like you are trying to do gymnastics with the meaning of the word.



but no, you def heard of him and you def knew him.

i really dont care if you weren't a fan, less is more it's plenty of us. but the way you and others that ive searched talking about him before he died then coming in this topic and say "i never heard of him before he died" seems super weirdo. anyway, i should start work now. yall carry on

Why is this a thread?

Until that dude died, I'd never heard of him.

With all the artists making music lately, that's not unusual. Cats slip under the radar.

​

Never knew him as an artist.

Make up your own goalposts when your argument is crushed.​

 

[Sad Bunny]

He has a Grammy and a star on the Hollywood walk of fame now. That death stimulus definitely helped him.

 

[Yehuda]

OP keeps mentioning the VL album thread but he only posted in there once and that was a year after Nip passed

a simple search verifies that you are in a thread gossiping about him well before he died. and i've seen this about some of the other posters that try to say this. why are yall like this

Love when people have to lie about you to make a coherent argument.

Ngl the family guy thread disgusted me too. But this site is full of c00ns and white people so then again it didn’t.

How come other dead rappers funerals didn't fill up Laker arena.
A guy without impact Iimhe game and culture when he was alive could do that.

Nothing is logically shaking out here in coli land where y'all think nobody in America eats french fries and no men date women with children...

Breh he was popular as hell in his region. He was not that major across the whole country. Look at where he did most of his shows. Also major artist would mess with him the left coast is the extremely major it’s not like we are talking about a Midwest artist.

People like slim thug (just an example) have Bentleys and clout also but would you say they were an extremely known artist? He was nominated for awards but didn’t you notice it seemingly Increased in passing. He’s an artist who was more popular in passing than while alive. I’m not sure why you have an issue with this.

This is a hip hop forum at heart (in this realm a lot of us are research needs compared to the average person) and we’ve known about him for a while but how long did the average hip hop listener know about him that wasn’t on the left.

I had I want to say 3 songs with him before he passed and 2 of them had Game in it.
