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

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 hate when people act like nip didnt get love until he died
It's about both of them and similarities. But maybe its just me that hears it.I don’t get it man. I knew a few Nip fans in my circle of my people, and I know many brehs who had Vicotry Lap on rotation especially in the gym while he was still alive.
last post from me on this though bc the thread is about Starlito
nah let these nikkas tell it they were all nipsey fans from day one![]()

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.
