He was a walking inspiration who represented soooo many groups (black people, immigrants, Africans, 80s babies, Californians, Crips, hustlers, etc) for just being who he was. A rapper who made himself hot while being independent.
BUT instead of just being that one thing that most people outside of LA knew him as (a rapper)...he wanted to help the people who knew him best. He wanted to educate and build his community....not in some foreign place...but down the street from where he grew up...where his grandparents and extended family live....he wanted his boys to see the same levels of success as he did...he wanted to be a representation that good can come from anywhere in the world no matter what you were given...
But how the fukk am I so sure that he wanted all of these things and I'm a whole coast away? He told us and then did it...
He was broke....put himself and his people on.....and showed us the steps...
Being successful, helping people your close too and not changing a thing about yourself is the goal....and he did it

He is respected for his views on ownership and his commitment to producing quality. Watch his RapRadar interview with Elliot and you will understand.

Thank you.
Why would somebody want to kill him like that?
Why would somebody want to kill MLK?.
dumb question on my part
he wasn't necessarily "great" by conventional meaning (although you could argue he was)
but he was someone that was destined for greatness and everybody could see that
his public views on ownership and independence and his moves regarding that garnered him allot of respect from people
not just from a artistic point of view....but anytime a black man on a national platform preaches ownership and independence
that will resonate with allot of people from a socio economic point of view because that's obviously whats missing with the black community
not trying to paint him as a malcolm x or anything, but he was just a brother from the bottom preaching the right mindset so that made him loved and admired
from a personal standpoint, me being Eritrean, the young Eritrean(and Ethiopian community for that matter) adored him
because he was one of us that made it....kinda like how Biggie was loved by Brooklyn....but maybe on a deeper level
even noted Entrepreneurs like Gary Vee was able to see that in him....

I was raised across the street from Malcolm X Park as a child. I don't think they could have had any kind of vigil in that park back in those days in the 60's, without somebody getting either shot, stabbed, or trampled. As you know, that area changed a lot since then. With that said, I hope all go well Thursday night in DC, unlike it did last night in LA.
