    AND I’M THE ONE TO BLAME
    NOW THAT I’M AROUND SHIT’LL NEVER BE THE SAME (c) drizzy

    i really feel bad for nipsey. he’s just a young artist trying to come up and he got bitchslapped a thousand times on killa. matter of fact u could say drizzy licked shots because nipsey is a known crip and drizzy still said:

    I LET THE BEAT BANG, I DON’T CLAIM COLORS

    some could say he licked indirect shots at nipsey on GP. shit i’m calling it out now. nipsey really got demolished on that record, nobody can dispute that

  30. Al Poelvoordino Says:

    nas and damian have a good lyrical/musical chemistry ! dey was friend since da road to zion classic track. ethic = wanna be great by yourself ! not by affiliation and suckerz move. nas did his thing. he didn’t do his ish for the sales and masses like a lot of rappers now. of course he wants money like yall.

  31. chea Says:

    can someone name a record where drizzy got sonned by another rapper on the song – i can’t. even on ignant shit he held his own. i’m not saying it’ll never happen but for now he’s batting a thousand – every record has been a hit or a walk but he’s never been banged on [||]

  32. Breaux Brosephson the !! Says:

    I been listening to too much Nipsey Hussle. I had a dream last night that some B’s tied me and wifey up in the crib and we’re trying to cut us up with machetes when I broke free and stabbed one nigga in the neck (ll) and the other in the side (ll). I didn’t want to call the police cause I woulda got time even though they were on my property. I told the Mrs. about when I woke up and said “you need to leave that gangster shit alone Brown” and you know, I think she’s right.

    @chea
    I don’t think he took shots at Nip cause 1.) October’s STANS Nip pretty hard and 2.)the line after the one you mentioned he says “Honestly our honesty is what our fans love from us” (or some shit)….either way I think Nip was true to his style and spit honest bars….i wouldn’t say drake bodied him tho

    ^I’m not disputing what you’re saying, but why does he need to be on a song with them? And who’s to say that he can’t be on a song with them, he just doesn’t have to spit gangsta shit, just do him. If he’s as nice as he’s supposed to be, his lyrics will shine through, regardless to what the topic is.

    Just like Kanye and Clipse… 5 years ago, if yall heard that combo, yall would’ve laughed like< Kanye can’t keep up with them niggas…

    Man that was the first time I ever heard Nipsey.

    I assume that he’s nice with it since Drizzy jumped on the track but damnnn…that wasn’t a good look. I’ll probably never listen to him again.

    That beat goes hard too I hope it makes it 2 another mixtape without Ol’ Nip.

  69. chea Says:

    @ land it’s sad because ur down with arabs but in chicago all the hood liquor spots is owned by arabs so there’s a little sourness between blacks and arabs here, i always hated that about the chi. and blacks have a right to be mad because these arabs is supposed to be muslim but they making people into winos and shit. i’m good in absolutely any hood in chicago where i got friends and family plus i’m not 100% arab but generally arabs and blacks don’t have the best relations here in the chi. always made me sad. i wish these arabs would open other types of shit but they’re making money so i guess they forgot their principles.
