False. He wasn't top 20 hip-hop first week nor was he in top 25 hip-hop year-end album sales.

20 Biggest First Weeks for Hip-Hop Albums in 2018 | DJBooth

Top Rap Albums - Year-End | Billboard

Truth be told, the album underperformed from a commercial standpoint with 53k first week and no singles making a dent. His death is what really caused him to do big numbers and go platinum.

Nipsey Hussle’s ‘Victory Lap’ officially platinum
Hussle averaged about 2 million audio streams before his death, but after he passed he earned 10 million audio streams and 57 million that following day. His video streams jumped from 900,000 to 9.7 million on the day of his death.


Back to Starlito, he was much better to me when he was Allstar. He lost his love for music in 2006 and the content has been depressing ever since.

These songs are exactly when everything changed. Lotta personal stuff happened that I won't get into.




I appreciate you digging up the numbers but you actually proved my point.

Nip did 53k first week, Nas did 47k on Kings Disease. Are we suggesting Nas isn’t a well known and respected rapper? I’m not saying actually compare Nas and Nip, I’m just saying in this day and age you can’t just look at numbers in isolation. Juice World did crazy numbers and I don’t know one of his songs.

Also - 2018 was a hell of a year for hip hop just looking at your list. Drake, Kanye, Wayne, Eminem, Kendrick (black panther soundtrack) and Migos all dropped. Nobody is saying Nip was on that level of fame but he was a known figure in hip hop for sure.

It's about both of them and similarities. But maybe its just me that hears it.

Lito and Trip were never beefing. StepBrothers 4 is coming and Lito just showed an Instagram video a few months ago of him attending a surprise birthday party for Trip. He was just in the Disappointed video with his daughter and Trips's kids


Paternity Leave was slept on.

Lito and Nip don’t even make similar music imo

I’m a fan of both...Lito is more on that introverted-anti social wave. He raps about the common shyt street nikkas deal with on a daily basis. I been a fan of Lito for many years.

Nip’s music is mostly centered on bossing up, obtaining wealth and gangbangin...the LA lifestyle.

Starlito ain’t signed to no major and is really independent. He’s also not the type to sellout for fame and clout. He has a loyal fan base that’s gonna always support him.

Lito is criminally underrated...super slept on.

and rip to Neighborhood Nip

I've legit only heard stuff like this from cac's like @staticshock

Nip was gettin mad love from the industry and built up a solid hardcore following. nikka was gettin mad love and respect from cats like Nas and Jay Z and street nikkas, fans WHILE ALIVE... nobody was sayin he had millions of EMO Cac fans like today's top artists.... we sayin he had a solid following.

Lito has a core fan base he caters to, independent and eats well.I remember him saying in an interview that dealing with majors and their politics almost made him want to quit rapping. He seems to be content with his position and holds it down regionally. I like the Stepbrother tapes,the chemistry with Trip is undeniable and their concepts are incredible,that's where I think he shines the most, relatable concepts and subject matter.
