Breh the culture is so unapologetically fake. nikkas done turned this man into the new 2pac when Pac at least had several gold and platinum plaques.

Half the people repping Nipsey can’t even name a mixtape
bingo! I legit maybe heard/seen this guy a handful of times and no one was talking about him. Now everyone acts like he was the second coming. Tools tried to do the same bullshyt when Mac Dre died. WTF was Mac Dre? Every song I found by that guy was garbage, but nobody wanted to hear it.

So there's nothing between very minor and major?

What minor league artist you know album went platinum in the streaming era, Grammy nominated and executive produced by Diddy, I'll wait



Ah ok you're a troll, got it.
His debut album sold 53k its first week then fell off the charts.
It didn’t get back in the charts until he was murdered and the posthumous wave of popularity started.

SMF and LAX to VA and NC
I'm from the West Coast. Name an album from a West Coast artist bigger than Victory Lap the year it dropped. I'll wait.

It was literally coming out of EVERY car here in Oakland.

My only disagreement is that he was the biggest West Coast name before he passed...

Of his era/generation of rappers, both YG and Mozzy were there with him in notoriety, and Mozzy is the one at the time (pre-Nip's death) who truly blew up grassroots with little major backing...

Other than that, I'm with you on everything, g!

Dudes who saying no one knew Nip outside of LA or Cali are bugging. I was in prison in 2009 on North Carolina when I first heard him. I got out and on subsequent trips back home I knew heads who were listening to him; I didn't really notice heads in VA and NC really catching his wave until Crenshaw (which is also when i really put him in rotation myself), and that was 2013 to early '14. After that, there was a gradual growing of his fan base in those places---->I wouldn't say he was a hugely popular guy in that area before his death, but the notion that no one listened to him or knew his music is fukking false...

Dudes gotta stop projecting their own opinions. He wasn't an international superstar and was just really starting to crack on a national stage, but he wasn't se nobody that people in different parts of the country didn't know...

I don't like the comps to Tupac but you could definitely make the argument that Nip's catalog is underrated...

Anyway, somebody @ me when they get hold of the vid of this bytch and her friend eating each other haha...

My biggest problem is how Cardi B won that Grammy the year he was nominated. I was pushing for Daytona to win but I thought Astroworld would win. I heard Nipsey’s name a lot but never checked anything of his out until he died. Victory Lap could’ve and probably should’ve won that year. I know Cardi ran that year but I’m sure if Nipsey was as popular then as he is now he’d probably win. I know people shyt on the Grammys but it is what it is.
