To clarify, that list was based on artists we really fukk with who may not have had the output we wished they had. It was a critical opinion. We weren’t trying to bring anybody down.

"Number one, who is an editor to have an opinion on a street nikka? Bottom line. Those editors don’t live this life. They don’t go through the struggle. I’m from the Rolling 60's my nikka. They don’t understand what putting an album out is to me. It ain’t the same as one of them backpack nikkas, or one of them college-rapping types. That ain’t the shyt I do. I got enemies. I went to war for real in between albums. My life is real. So when I hear about an editor asking: What’s up with my output? I’m like: What’s up with you even commenting on my life? nikkas don’t know my life. That’s the bourgeoisie approach that I get offended by because this ain’t no bubble. This ain’t no vacuum we doing this music out of. That’s why people connect to the pain in it. Because it’s real. That’s the part they should respect. These radio hits, these charts, they don’t validate the truth and the message. That’s when I start to be like, “Okay, you ain’t got a record on radio. You ain’t put an album out officially, so you’re an underachiever.”


Probably the reallest sh!t I've ever heard from a rapper not on a song.

fukk complex. They wrote two articles tryna shyt on my brother's company. Those fukk nikkas stay tryna keep the up and comers down. It shows though how little impact they have though. Here nipsey is buzzing again and my brother's flying to Boston tonight to meet with new balance. fukk complex and the culture stealing cacs that work for them.

"I took offense to, not only Complex’s stance, but the major labels’ stance on how they treat artists, how they treat the culture. And I felt like we’re at a point where our culture’s getting exploited and it’s looking like they’re trying to do us like they did rock 'n' roll. They’re trying to do us like they did Africa, and they’re trying to extract all of our natural resources for their own exploited reasons. If Complex is going to take the stance to degrade the culture and point out every flaw that hip-hop artists have and every mistake they make, then I’ma take the stance to say: As hip-hop, we’re gonna boycott Complex. We don’t need that. We can write about ourselves. We could develop our own outlet and we can cover our own stories. It’s like “No thank you. We don’t need y’all opinion no more.” And that’s why I said what I said."
