Women have always disrespected dead men they liked. I remember when WCW & MCW first started, men usually posted a living female celebrity for WCW while women would post dead men all the time for MCM. Most of the women on my timeline would post Pac or Malcolm X.:snoop:

Never said anything about being independent. What I was saying, which we agree on, is that he wasn't regional.

"Racks in the Middle" was a smash hit and, even before he died, within one month of that single being released, it had more than triple the amount of YouTube views as the next biggest song off of Victory Lap. Off the strength of that song and the grammy nomination alone, Victory Lap was on track to sell more units. Would it have gone gold? Maybe, maybe not. The fact is he was clearly on the edge of a major crossover. And before people say the single was big because of Roddy Ricch, The Box didn't drop until 10 months later and he was nowhere near being a household name of any sort at that point. It was a hot single and the type of record that was about to be a radio hit regardless of Nipsey's passing. Nipsey was poised to be a breakout artist in 2019 no matter what.

For reference, you'll never hear this regional talk said about a rapper like Freddie Gibbs in spite of the fact that he's NEVER sold a fraction of what Nipsey did while he was alive on any album, Alfredo, Bandana and Pinata included. They were both in the same XXL Freshmen class and their careers have lasted roughly the same amount of time. Freddie Gibbs, right now, does not have a single youtube video with as many views as what Racks in the Middle got in a month (11 million). Nipsey's viewcounts on his videos before Racks in the Middle were exactly the same as Gibbs's. Is Gibbs regional now too? Is he a very minor artist?
They gonna juelz around your Gibbs point, because they love that man and hate the Westcoast. :mjlol:

If you think I'm wrong, I dare you to search the coli and see how many Nipsey Hussle threads folks were making before he died. Then look at how many were made AFTER he died.

That will prove my point right there.
The only threads I remember about Nip are the ones making fun of him for getting called out by that news reporter for a fight.

You prolly white :mjlol:

:mjlol:I'm confirmed black. No probably anything. Can you say that?

Yes they were, I'm not saying he was a globally recognised superstar like some of these other posters
:mjlol: Not at all. I was riding around bumping Nipsey from BAGNN1. "Strapped" is my favorite song by him.

:mjlol:I lived everywhere on the west coast at the time and no one else was bumping him or cared about him musically except me. He was known more for his interviews and dating NuNu (pause) than his music. He was a west coast David Banner.

There are cases where Rappers don't get national radio play but are successful and move units of mixtapes albums downloads streams etc.

Nipsey is one .
He was largly Indie until he got nominated for his first Grammy before his Death he coincidently was just signed to a major.

He toured internationally as a Indie and helped drive his own publicity

Through Proud 2 Pay movement 100$ Mixtape etc
Crenshaw Clothing store with Merch etc

The old-school version of this is Ice T he went 3x Platinum with basically ZERO radio play across the country.
