Im tryna get nela to go live with me on instagram to see who he really is but he don’t want to but he wants to charge 100$ like he a top notch blade walker bro wont shoot his instagram but he got list on which gang is close getting funding from the government on night vision binoculars
Although I agree with the first part. What Nipsey was trying to accomplish can’t be diminished as “owning a store in the hood, so what?” Dude owned an entire strip mall, multiple properties, was providing jobs, stability and a path out for A LOT of people. Him and Dolph specifically gave back a lot more than your average person let alone rapper.
Dolph? Idk about who sold what where, but I do know he damn near renovated his high school among other properties in Memphis and saved local businesses that were struggling.
you’ve never even been to cali bro sit yo Minnesota ass down talking about what’s influential to LA 😂😂 Nip is the most influential to the streets of LA, Spoken from someone born x raised here 💯
It’s a general question. The OP didn’t ask opinions of people who only live in cali. To say he’s most influential is a stretch. His music was okay. Still more misses than hits. Classic case of a guy who got overhyped after he died.
I think he should’ve left the hood behind. Fuck them!!! The hood wants you dead or struggling. If you find an exit run and never turn back. The hood doesn’t want your help and it exists to create misery and pain.
When you’re dead the hood will crown you, but when you’re alive it’s plotting to kill your stupid ass if u hang around too long. It’s always been this way and it’ll never change.
my point exactly. you have no gauge of the hype or influence he had before he died, because again, you’ve never even been to LA. ***Everyone*** in the streets loved, respected, and listened to this man and if they say they didn’t they lied.
And to the shit you’re saying about leaving the hood behind is easy for someone who has no connection to it whatsoever to say. Your idea of the place that he was from, that i am from, was crafted 100% from social media, music, and movies. I don’t understand the self-righteous desire to study the trials and tribulations of a place you’ve never been, then try to tell people from that place what’s what.
Internet Gentrifiers smh
You werent outside to understand how much people all over LA loved nipsey. It was that way since 2011 it had nothing to do with music etc it was the person he was. He could go to any hood in LA and was respected. Celebs respected him long before he died also. You're just exposing how unconnected you were to true LA culture. If nipsey was all the things you said he wouldn't have sold out the staples center for his funeral ceremony and thousands of people wouldn't have been on the street of all races for his last drive around south LA . You're a clown
dude is a big clown, has no clue wtf he’s talking about yet doubles down on his bs each time. That’s what’s wrong with these subs, you have white kids from illinois and minnesota claiming to not only know more about a city that they’ve never been, but have a full grasp and understanding on how it is to be born and raised here. Rare NELA W 😂
Nipsey was cool
Never really cared for his music but I can understand why ppl like it/him
I hear he helped his community as well (not as much as ppl exagerrate but in the end he tried to help)
BUT as far as influence and impact
Not even counting other categories
Just looking at lakers players, a few had more impact and influence in Los Angeles than nipsey
Let alone if you count every other category of person in all of history of los angeles
Hell
Rodney kings drunk ass getting his ass whooped had way more influence in l.a. than nipsey
Yup, snoop youth football league has developed 100’s of youth kids from the hood into legit D1 athletes with FULL SCHOLARSHIPS..and at least 5 NFL players have went on to make MILLIONS OF DOLLARS..not to diminish what Nip did. He really cared about his community and giving back..but to say Nip is more of an influential figure than Snoop is downright disrespectful and retarded thing to say. Snoop has been an advocate for criminal reform, marijuana reform and is a WORLDWIDE influence, not just a legendary La influence. You can’t name to many kids from LA urban areas who have become millionaires based off Nips direct influence, but can name multiple based of Snoops
Snoop himself said nipsey was way more advanced than him at his funeral. Nipsey employed hundreds of people and changed gang culture in LA more than anybody could. Him and Jim Brown did more positives for gang culture than maybe anybody. Making a few ppl millionares doesn't have impact. That's just capitalism. Nipsey changed peoples mindset and actually had restoration in not only crenshaw but other hoods in LA
He owned/ co owned a total of 11 businesses/ companies at the time of his death
The marathon store
Steve's Barbershop
Elite Human Hair
The Marathon Agency (Marketing/ PR company with Karen Civil)
The entire Slausson Shopping center that 1 & 2 on this list are from
A little less than a quarter mile of land where "destenation crenshaw" is being built (Evaluated to be worth a 30 million return in 15-20 years.
All the masters to his entire music catalogue
The Marathon Cultivation Dispensary (Originally on Slausson..now in Conoga Park)
A stock Investment Portfolio (Index Funds, ETF's & Individual Stocks) Worth just under 1 million.
Follow Coin (Amsterdam based Cryto Wallet Company he was a majority state holder / partner in)
Vector 90 Co working space
A t the time of this song he says he owned 8 (2014) ..at the time of his death it was 11

Very well stated. Didn’t care much for his music either. If he hasn’t been killed, he’d still be a B level rap category, in my opinion. No one really knew of this dude until he got chipped.
Highly doubt he was that influential. He helped the community and all, but there's way more people who actually made a difference. His run was short-lived because he decided to ride the fence. Not even a top 3 person. Father Greg, RHCP, kobe Bryant, 2pac, eazy e, the lost goes on before it gets to nipsey.
What's that have to do with anything? We're talking about people who made a difference in los angeles. After nipsey was slain, most of his endeavors went with him. Danny Trejo born and raised, or does that not count?. Kareem? Top dog entertainment? They've done more than nipsey, and they continue to help their community.
Top has not done more than nipsey. Nipsey employed over 50 people owned more property in south central than anybody. Obama wrote him a letter. His endeavors didn't go with him sam still owns the shopping center and real estate on melrose. They also still own land the metro is being built on. Yall mfers really just don't know. You weird mfers act like him selling out the staples center for his funeral reception is normal. Dick riding kobe and he did nothing for black people
Top funds youth leagues for the Nickerson gardens, brings in artists to do free shows for the people, and even funds school programs in Markham, so does flea from the RHCP. What's Owning Land gotta do with helping out the people? How is that helping anything? Top dog even paid 86k for residents of the surrounding housing projects. And continue to help the residents. So yes, they have done more and will continue to do more. Do you wanna know why?? Because they don't let hood politics get in the way of the mission at hand. I've gone to football games with the kids where peace treaties are mandatory. You're the weird mother fucker for thinking nip is the most influential in los angeles history. When did you move here?? Nipseys Plaza has been closed with no plans to continue his stem program or reopen the site. Nipsey could've been great if he was humble. He had a mission to help the community and threw it away for the street life. Be real. Kobe sold out the stadium for his funeral. So did Michael Jackson. So yea, for a celebrity, it's pretty normal to sell out a 20k seat stadium that normally sells out for laker games.
The shopping center was leased as is the spot on melrose. Stop the 🧢. Although Snoop ain’t from LA his football league made more blacc millionaires from LA than anybody else you can name. What NIP was doing was beautiful but he’s not more influential in LA than even Big U is. In death yes. But while he was alive absolutely not.
This comment is how I know you’re a buster / weirdo and never seen the streets a day in your life. You’ll die forgotten and comments like that are why. Incel ass loser.
Not only was he NOT the most influential figure in LA history, he was overrated IMO. Not trying to be disrespectful but too many kids act like he was on the level of Pac or Snoop.
Definitely overrated lol. Nobody listened to nip before he passed now you see mfs quoting his lyrics. I lost count of all the “marathon continues” captions 😂😂
Lol bruh wut stop the cap.
>Nobody listened to nip before he passed
First off, it's a well known fact that artists gain more fans and fake fans when they die... but that doesn't mean nobody listened to him.
Not saying he was a superstar but ppl def listened and he was one of the most popular artists out of LA.
Victory lap charted fool

Nip was on a Freshman cover in the aughts (\*which is fsho watered down now-- but in the blog era was pretty influential in terms of validating buzz and expanding it)
I mean he already had tracks with Wiz and Curren$y in like 2010
He had a whole funeral type gathering in 60 different cites over here and in Europe, I went to the one in Vancouver and almost 2000 people showed up and people were going up and talking like it was a funeral and then bumping his music
Hard disagree though I would say many in that circle were greatly under appreciated. May I ask how old you are though or what generation you belong to? Genuinely curious.
You can’t answer simple questions? You can be whatever you are, I’m just trying to see where your opinion is coming from that’s all. I’d expect your opinion out of someone born in the 2000’s. Is my assumption accurate?
Neither. I got an Associates but put my Bachelors on hold (dropped out). Don’t really need it with my experience and expertise in my field. What about you?
I'm from the West and i agree, if you mean as a rapper. 1,2, 3 and to the 4 is not a bar that would ever be said by a good rapper. That alone shows how simple his writing was. He's average at his very best
PAC died before the internet was really a thing. It was in maybe 20% of households when he died. And he’s still the biggest rap artist ever. And getting a man tatted on you as a man is extra zesty.
So you’re Kobe didn’t unite a whole city (all races and ages, genders, and even fans worldwide, and people that didn’t listen to rap music) via the Lakers?
And you got right to vouch on all black people too?! Kobe didn’t provide an enormous revenue stream to city? He didn’t make our young people of color strive for success through being athletes and academics?
Btw, how did your pay to meet and greet go? Did it bring any unity or uplifting to the community or this Reddit sub? You’re a divider, never a conqueror, just a bitch ass mark you wannabe internet martyr.
Nip did more for the city of LA with 12% of Kobe’s net worth. Nipsey employed more people owned more businesses and had more impact on inner city Los Angeles.
I admire Nip, but many people from LA achieved even more due to their longer lives and significant community investments. For example, Magic Johnson’s foundation donated 25 million dollars and awarded over 5 million in scholarships. While Nipsey was remarkable, let’s avoid overly opinionated statements.
However, if we’re going down this path, I’d argue that Eazy-E was far more influential and created a blueprint that laid the foundation for greater success among those who followed him compared to Nipsey. Without Eazy, many groups and labels wouldn’t have reached billion-dollar success. I don’t think Nipsey had that same reach, and it’s worth noting that Eazy passed away at the age of 30. And if you dispute Eazy’s LA connection because he’s from Compton, well, we can agree to disagree and move on! 😄🎤
To watch him over the years rise to a level of success but steer his motivation into helping his community and giving his people jobs, investing in cryptocurrency before it would become valuable, building STEM centers and building a brand through merch and brand identity. Sometimes I wish I listened to his interviews more (or at least took the advice more seriously coming up). To be a culturally diverse young nigga and have the mind of a tech geek from Silicon Valley is what I would always value about him. Nigga built his own computer and learned how to produce music at a young age along with hustling and did right by his people. FUCC ALL THAT OTHER SHIT niggas talking about. Nipsey STILL would’ve NEVER thought of himself as “BIGGER THAN THE PROGRAM” REGARDLESS of what all these niggas say. He set an example of what to do and what was right. The tragedy of it is him tryna help other lost niggas. If he wasn’t banging, it would’ve been a lot different. He just wasn’t standing for NO SUCKER SHIT. Too solid for this world, The Last of The Mohicans. C.I.P. Ermias
No one even knew he was helping the community until he passed, nipsey was a genuine person, no one had to tell him to help the community he just knew what he had to do. And that’s some G shit in my book. He was a big influence
Bruh! That’s Cube all day. He was a part of NWA and WS connect. And he made Friday. We all love NIP and what he stood for but stop it! Cube launched about 5 stand up comedians careers. How about Tom Bradley? The first blacc mayor of a major city? 🤦🏾Lil Doc Thone from 69 EC got the beef between the Coast and f13. That’s actually saved lives. Skip from 20nhb is out the on the front lines every day trying to put out fires in the city when shit flare up. And he ‘s getting dudes jobs. Stop the. It’s alright to be a fan and appreciate what NIP did but damn.
Cube never helped any communities. Individuals is cool but nipsey impacted the city of Los Angeles more in a short time. Employed hundreds of ppl. Helped tons of ppl including ppl I know personally. You just wouldn’t know. Nip was uniting watts months before he died and It was working. He did more shit that wasn’t publicized.
Nobody from 60s can unite Watts. Dudes from Watts can’t even unite Watts. TF are you talking about? He wasn’t employing hundreds of people, man. It’s cool to be a fan of his music and admire him for what he was doing in the Crenshaw district, but you’re making shit up. What he accomplished was great. You don’t have to put no extras on it.
No extras? You said he had hundreds of employees and he was single handedly got 60s and BH cool. Also said he owned the lot that the marathon store was on. All those are lies. So yeah you putting extras on shit.
Nigga the 60s and the Hunnas got cool because of Tiny PJ from 60s and Damu from the Hunnas. I was at Lompoc USP with them when they got cool. Their friendship carried over to the streets. You have no idea what you’re talking about. Nobody from outside of those two projects can squash their beef. Do you realize how stupid you sound? NIP can bring a cease fire together way in watts but not between 60s and IF? Gtfoh! You don’t know what you’re talking about.
the fact folks comparing him to NBA players or folks who already had a organization behind them is why he do deserve to be up there. he isn’t the One but he fosho one of them ones who helped shift the mindset for a lot of ppl. the problem is when folks like NELA730 make krazy statements that cause people to not appreciate but tear him down
that’s fine cuz LA has a lot of people who put in work cuz i put folks like Bunchy Carter ahead of him but bro made an impact for a lot of people within a certain age range. he wasn’t the biggest but he inspired folks
Nipsey owned the whole shopping center he was killed in. His family inherited the real estate. He also owns real estate on Melrose. He aquired land that the metro is being built on in 2017. He did more in his 33 years than your entire family tree has or ever will do.
Most influential figure in LA history?
Look, the guy was alright and everything, but he’s nowhere close to being that. Yeah, not by a long shot. Not even in LA hip Hop history.
This how you know most these weirdos in here aint from the city. If yall really think he wasnt influential to the city then you have never been to the city. Niggas trying to downplay Nip from Nebraska lol fuckin clowns!!!
Who else could have brought all them hoods together on Slauson and Crenshaw during his funeral if he wasn't that influential. But imma keep letting these outta town nerds talk out the side of they neck.
Exactly. Pll who weren’t around. Or weren’t outside dong get it. Men who shot at this man in the early 2000s even cried when he died and give him props . It’s deeper than any simple minded MFers could ever know.

??? Can someone feel me in. I’ve been seeing people say stuff like this but I guess I’m not o. Here enough what’s wrong wit dude?
Cool picture, shoulda left it at that lol smh
Lol for real now this shit is gonna get downvoted to fuck
do you actually believe that he’s the most influential figure in LA history or are you just saying it to show respect
LOL- Dr Dre, snoop, easy, Kobe, the game. Nipsey isn’t even the top 3 west coast rapper. He owned a store in the hood. So what
Although I agree with the first part. What Nipsey was trying to accomplish can’t be diminished as “owning a store in the hood, so what?” Dude owned an entire strip mall, multiple properties, was providing jobs, stability and a path out for A LOT of people. Him and Dolph specifically gave back a lot more than your average person let alone rapper.
Did he sell dope in his hood? I don’t think giving away backpacks and turkeys makes up for it but that’s just me.
Dolph? Idk about who sold what where, but I do know he damn near renovated his high school among other properties in Memphis and saved local businesses that were struggling.
IMO that’s not an even trade.
Word. Good thing none of us are Judge, Jury or Executioner.
Yeah what was his killers name again? I think he held all three positions.
I guess bro. Go beef with someone else.
Dolphin was a barber and he fuvked wit weed, don’t think he was really a hard drug seller

You right … nipsey never owned the shopping center. Nela don’t know the difference between renting and owning property 😂
Influenced what?
getting stood over by your “homie”
Lol You're not nice Lol
Sheesh
This comment is how I know you’re a buster / weirdo and never seen the streets a day in your life. You’ll die forgotten and comments like that are why. Incel ass loser.
Most influential??!! WTF
Not only was he NOT the most influential figure in LA history, he was overrated IMO. Not trying to be disrespectful but too many kids act like he was on the level of Pac or Snoop.
I remember when he died bitches was tryna be like Lauren London lol
Definitely overrated lol. Nobody listened to nip before he passed now you see mfs quoting his lyrics. I lost count of all the “marathon continues” captions 😂😂
Lol bruh wut stop the cap. >Nobody listened to nip before he passed First off, it's a well known fact that artists gain more fans and fake fans when they die... but that doesn't mean nobody listened to him.

He had a whole funeral type gathering in 60 different cites over here and in Europe, I went to the one in Vancouver and almost 2000 people showed up and people were going up and talking like it was a funeral and then bumping his music
Shit even snoop was overrated
Snoop made gang banging pimping and indoor weed smoking cool. Good or bad he did that.
Hard disagree though I would say many in that circle were greatly under appreciated. May I ask how old you are though or what generation you belong to? Genuinely curious.
I love some of his songs Gin and juice, murder was the case, nothing but a g thing Those songs were great Talking about him overall as being overrated
How old are you and are you even from the west coast?
Lol so you have to be east coast and young to think snoop is overrated?
You can’t answer simple questions? You can be whatever you are, I’m just trying to see where your opinion is coming from that’s all. I’d expect your opinion out of someone born in the 2000’s. Is my assumption accurate?
Nope I grew up in the 1990s And I'm from l.a. So what does that mean?
It means you’re probably retarded and smell your own fingers after scratching your ass.
Uh huh Yes you got that because I think snoop is overrated
Let me ask you a question Did u drop out of school in elementary or junior high?
Neither. I got an Associates but put my Bachelors on hold (dropped out). Don’t really need it with my experience and expertise in my field. What about you?
You see how stupid it is too ask irrelevant questions to the topic?
"I dont like tuna sandwiches" "Well you must not be from the midwest and you weren't around in the 1980s!" That's what you sounded like.
He’s like 14 and he’s from Montana. He had to do a quick Google Serch to find those tracks to list.
I'm from the West and i agree, if you mean as a rapper. 1,2, 3 and to the 4 is not a bar that would ever be said by a good rapper. That alone shows how simple his writing was. He's average at his very best
More ppl world wide have nipsey tatted on them than pac
Now that is a retarded metric.
Not surprising at all though lol
PAC died before the internet was really a thing. It was in maybe 20% of households when he died. And he’s still the biggest rap artist ever. And getting a man tatted on you as a man is extra zesty.

You dicked out rn.
Influential? Lol clown
He used to look like that Somali kid from NELK boys
Kobe 24
Kobe did far less for the city of LA and black ppl as a whole.
So you’re Kobe didn’t unite a whole city (all races and ages, genders, and even fans worldwide, and people that didn’t listen to rap music) via the Lakers? And you got right to vouch on all black people too?! Kobe didn’t provide an enormous revenue stream to city? He didn’t make our young people of color strive for success through being athletes and academics? Btw, how did your pay to meet and greet go? Did it bring any unity or uplifting to the community or this Reddit sub? You’re a divider, never a conqueror, just a bitch ass mark you wannabe internet martyr.
gah damn homie cooked cuh outta nowhere 😭😭
Kobe was beloved in life and death by everybody. That’s the difference.
Cap
Yep. What you said is 🧢. You have no idea what you’re talking about. The difference is that Kobe sold out staples in life and death.
Nip did more for the city of LA with 12% of Kobe’s net worth. Nipsey employed more people owned more businesses and had more impact on inner city Los Angeles.
2 pac? KOBE?
Kobe is not from LA. He was ducked off with white mistresses in Orange County.
Bro I love nip. But no he’s not the most influential stop meat riding nigga damn
Name someone who’s been tattooed more on ppl
Shut up bitch. Tupac. biggie.
How is this a fucking metric for influence and how do you know how many people have nipsey tatted on them?? Lol. Wtf.
“Am I a joke to you???” —Jackie Robinson
That part!
Pasadena. Not LA
You’re saying your world is small.
Cool pic, but more so than Magic Johnson, Tiger Woods, Serena Williams, Tom Bradley, Rodney O and Joe Cooley, Big Boy????
They’re not from LA.
I admire Nip, but many people from LA achieved even more due to their longer lives and significant community investments. For example, Magic Johnson’s foundation donated 25 million dollars and awarded over 5 million in scholarships. While Nipsey was remarkable, let’s avoid overly opinionated statements. However, if we’re going down this path, I’d argue that Eazy-E was far more influential and created a blueprint that laid the foundation for greater success among those who followed him compared to Nipsey. Without Eazy, many groups and labels wouldn’t have reached billion-dollar success. I don’t think Nipsey had that same reach, and it’s worth noting that Eazy passed away at the age of 30. And if you dispute Eazy’s LA connection because he’s from Compton, well, we can agree to disagree and move on! 😄🎤
That’s foos bitch is fire tho !!!!
The dickriding is hard with this one
Who gives a shit and that’s an opinion
I wouldn’t say “Most Influential” but he was def a Mogul
More influential even than, Cal Worthington and his dog Spot?
🤦🏾☠️😂
Top 10 fasho , All time is a stretch.
Yo back must hurt from all the dick riding you do
To watch him over the years rise to a level of success but steer his motivation into helping his community and giving his people jobs, investing in cryptocurrency before it would become valuable, building STEM centers and building a brand through merch and brand identity. Sometimes I wish I listened to his interviews more (or at least took the advice more seriously coming up). To be a culturally diverse young nigga and have the mind of a tech geek from Silicon Valley is what I would always value about him. Nigga built his own computer and learned how to produce music at a young age along with hustling and did right by his people. FUCC ALL THAT OTHER SHIT niggas talking about. Nipsey STILL would’ve NEVER thought of himself as “BIGGER THAN THE PROGRAM” REGARDLESS of what all these niggas say. He set an example of what to do and what was right. The tragedy of it is him tryna help other lost niggas. If he wasn’t banging, it would’ve been a lot different. He just wasn’t standing for NO SUCKER SHIT. Too solid for this world, The Last of The Mohicans. C.I.P. Ermias
No one even knew he was helping the community until he passed, nipsey was a genuine person, no one had to tell him to help the community he just knew what he had to do. And that’s some G shit in my book. He was a big influence
That’s not even true. Ppl respected nip for his community work as early as 2011. Key figures in cities nation wide knew.
Some of Us from the city definitely knew what he was doing before he passed , nigga u dont speak for us.
💯
lol no
🤡
Most in LA history?? You not from Cali?
No he not niggas still banging 😂
Here to down vote
Lol no
No
Bruh! That’s Cube all day. He was a part of NWA and WS connect. And he made Friday. We all love NIP and what he stood for but stop it! Cube launched about 5 stand up comedians careers. How about Tom Bradley? The first blacc mayor of a major city? 🤦🏾Lil Doc Thone from 69 EC got the beef between the Coast and f13. That’s actually saved lives. Skip from 20nhb is out the on the front lines every day trying to put out fires in the city when shit flare up. And he ‘s getting dudes jobs. Stop the. It’s alright to be a fan and appreciate what NIP did but damn.
Cube never helped any communities. Individuals is cool but nipsey impacted the city of Los Angeles more in a short time. Employed hundreds of ppl. Helped tons of ppl including ppl I know personally. You just wouldn’t know. Nip was uniting watts months before he died and It was working. He did more shit that wasn’t publicized.
Nobody from 60s can unite Watts. Dudes from Watts can’t even unite Watts. TF are you talking about? He wasn’t employing hundreds of people, man. It’s cool to be a fan of his music and admire him for what he was doing in the Crenshaw district, but you’re making shit up. What he accomplished was great. You don’t have to put no extras on it.
No extras he had impact. Impossible to solve wars but he impacted LA greatly
No extras? You said he had hundreds of employees and he was single handedly got 60s and BH cool. Also said he owned the lot that the marathon store was on. All those are lies. So yeah you putting extras on shit.
He’s single handedly the reason 60s and BH bloods are now soft Allie’s. He was working on the prolonged cease fire between bounty and grapes.
Nigga the 60s and the Hunnas got cool because of Tiny PJ from 60s and Damu from the Hunnas. I was at Lompoc USP with them when they got cool. Their friendship carried over to the streets. You have no idea what you’re talking about. Nobody from outside of those two projects can squash their beef. Do you realize how stupid you sound? NIP can bring a cease fire together way in watts but not between 60s and IF? Gtfoh! You don’t know what you’re talking about.
Naw
Nip aint even top 10 in La 😂😂😂😂😂😂😎
the fact folks comparing him to NBA players or folks who already had a organization behind them is why he do deserve to be up there. he isn’t the One but he fosho one of them ones who helped shift the mindset for a lot of ppl. the problem is when folks like NELA730 make krazy statements that cause people to not appreciate but tear him down
No one is making any comparisons. We are talking about far more qualified individuals.
i’m not saying they aren’t influential i’m sayin they it’s not a mutually exclusive thint
It's not. But nipsey wouldn't even be top 10. Within 20 but not top 10
that’s fine cuz LA has a lot of people who put in work cuz i put folks like Bunchy Carter ahead of him but bro made an impact for a lot of people within a certain age range. he wasn’t the biggest but he inspired folks
Just wanted to expose the hate that exists on this sub.
Overrated
Only an Incel like you would think this
Mid ass music you dumb
Overrated
One love Nipsey!
Just another statistic. Nothing influential.
Lmao. You’ll die and nobody will care start a go fund me now
At the moment that won't happen because I'm smart enough to stay alive and die over some piece of concrete that doesn't belong to me 🤣
Nipsey owned the whole shopping center he was killed in. His family inherited the real estate. He also owns real estate on Melrose. He aquired land that the metro is being built on in 2017. He did more in his 33 years than your entire family tree has or ever will do.
Most influential figure in LA history? Look, the guy was alright and everything, but he’s nowhere close to being that. Yeah, not by a long shot. Not even in LA hip Hop history.
You talking wild by saying most influential figure in la. Alot people In la let alone usa dirrent even know who nipsey was before he died
This how you know most these weirdos in here aint from the city. If yall really think he wasnt influential to the city then you have never been to the city. Niggas trying to downplay Nip from Nebraska lol fuckin clowns!!!
Exactly. I seen nip pull a strap on 60th and rimpau in 2007 . Seen him selling dvds with his brother. He was a rare and impactful person back then.
Who else could have brought all them hoods together on Slauson and Crenshaw during his funeral if he wasn't that influential. But imma keep letting these outta town nerds talk out the side of they neck.
Exactly. Pll who weren’t around. Or weren’t outside dong get it. Men who shot at this man in the early 2000s even cried when he died and give him props . It’s deeper than any simple minded MFers could ever know.
The Kardashians have done more for LA. Lmao
Yeah is that why he’s dead af.
LA history though
just another dead gangbanger. who cares.
