That’s what makes his untimely passing so unfortunate, he was found and killed right outside of his store. You could find him where you could always find him, when he wasn’t making the deals that allowed all of this to happen. This was a community legend too, he never left.
He dropped how many tapes before this? He sold a mixtape for how much? He bought what corner? He owns what businesses? The stats are all there. Nipsey’s resume spoke for itself at this point for real. YG) - LAST TIME THAT I CHECKED! That just sounds like a OG correcting you. He was different, but he was still one of us.ģ. And the best part of it all? He uses the Bobby Shmurda “Hot N*gga” flow the whole song and ends every bar with “nigga” (a common complaint a lot of people have with rappers). While most rappers would say “I’m gonna do this” and then go immediately try and do it, Nip worked until it was the right time. And he was delivering an album he had promised (and been working on) for almost a decade. The same way MBDTF was Kanye returning after exile, Victory Lap was Nipsey returning to the major label level of the music industry. And he was really from the 60’s, living the life so many rappers claim they do. He bounced back after the label deal ain’t work out and built his own empire. Rap Niggas - Now we get the mission statement. This was a boss enjoying his life the way he’s tailor-made it to be lived.Ģ. This was a boss looking back at just how far he’d come. This was his first released partnered with a major label rather than signed to one or independent. For all the projects Nip released during his lifetime, this was his DEBUT ALBUM. That legacy plays into how momentous this album feels. Unlike Juice, Nipsey had a long legacy already built and cemented by the time he passed. Tragically, the authors of these 2018 opuses are no longer with us. As is the Juice WRLD album from the same year that I covered earlier. I know I typically do retro album reviews, but honestly I’m really just covering the classics. Keep the opening bars of the Victory Lap intro on loop as I set the stage. Big Bento Energy is most definitely in full effect.
Sky Bento here on the check-in once again.
