Cripple Creek Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Heard a bit about him this morning. I'm sure that plenty of bad will come out, but many are talking about how he tried to be a difference maker in his neighborhood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poojer Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 I'd never heard of him until he was killed but he really seemed to be someone that was way more than a rapper, naturally accolades come flowing out after things like this. I am gonna have to check his music out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbb Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Apparently, he was killed by the government, along with Big Pharma, according to twitter the last few days: Now Nick Cannon is going to pick up the doc where Nipsey left off, so he's been trending on twitter, as well, while people want him protected: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boca BIlls Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 (edited) So I was told what happened and it looks like Nipsey has been away from the crime side of things for a while. He has been doing things to clean up his community. The guy that shot him was a snitch and Nipsey told the guy he cant be around people with those problems b/c he wasn't involved with that ***** anymore. The guy for whatever reason didn't like that and came back later and shot him. The gang he was affiliated with already know who it is and supposedly it "will be taken care of" according to my friend who has a cousin that grew up with him... (in the same gang (family)) as he put it. It's funny I didnt even know who this guy was until my friend came in and started talking about him and was sad as hell. Then I see this freaking thread, I guess this guy was popular. Edited April 2, 2019 by Boca BIlls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no idea why he was getting all this love. Constantly on the news in a good way. A service at Staples Center. A 25 mile procession for his funeral today but in "great" journalistic fashion they never really talked a lot about the positive things he did for the community other than open some sort of clothing store.
