do you have any original thought in that ""''''brain""""" of yours or does twitter control your life

Well yeah

RIP all of em

Feels like a tweet made just so other users can hate on dead people

Yeah. Just lock this s*** up

Nipsey was having his biggest year in the mainstream before his death. Racks in the middle was a hit on hip hop stations

Juice also had multiple big hits and was collaborating with pop artists so had a fan base

Dumb stupid b****

I don’t know if romanticize is the right word and it probably isn’t but a lot of rap fans do that in these type of situations in music.

I remember on the JBP I think it was ice saying if nas passed away after illmatic he’d be seen as the greatest of all time

For sure! Nas would've been untouchable

But Nipsey was clearly an important figure to those who followed his career. A big community figure as well. I didn’t listen to him all that much but I knew this.

Even XXX these little niggas loved that man. Had a big cult following.

The type of people that make these kinds of posts and threads to encourage hate jerk circles

Really bottom tier people

As someone from LA Nipsey is the first person who came to mind. Half these mfz didnt' care about Nipsey before he died i'll tell you that lol

Not before he died tbh

xxxtentacion made #ImSippinTeaInYoHood he's iconic </3

I mean, Illmatic is considered one of the best rap albums of all time, if not the best ever.

It would be such a big loss if we lost Nas right after

Who was the last truly iconic artist to pass?

Amy Whitehouse?
MJ?

Gotta be missing somebody no?

there's a s*** load gang lol

There’s been plenty, unless you’re talking in the prime of life/career, but considering your MJ example I’m not sure if you are.

They only drag that treatment out when the industry can still make bank from your image and music

Yeah but those guys were all old. I'm talking somewhat prime/active years. MJ was old too, now that I looked it up. Amy the last one I guess

Drakeo barely got his respects outside of the very short term time of his passing. Less than a year after reaching huge audiences through a drake feature

The industry couldn’t benefit from him because he was independent and already spoke his mind about the same people who would’ve manipulated his image for profit after his death

Whew somebody hold me back what the

Thank you, holy s***

There’s a reverse, recent phenomenon where someone does something bad, and it doesn’t even have to be THAT bad, it just has to upset the right people to make it a thing, and all of a sudden that person’s accomplishments don’t matter or that their talent never existed.
