Nipsey - was a fan of his music for years and was looking forward to hearing more official studio albums after victory lap
Pop smoke - made an immediate impact & although his music was one-dimensional, it looked like he was ready to evolve and diversify his music style. I was ready to hear him on non drill beats
Nip was one of the ones i remember The Marathon 1 dropping and just being hyped for every release. It was bittersweet seeing the support of his music after his passing because it was good seeing someone i really supported finally get recognition musically snd personally but also people that never listened to him a minute were overly on the TMC s*** so it kind felt weird to me
OG Maco honestly
X because I saw the potential and how he was cosigned by every major artist.
Mac cause I grew up with his music in my teenage years.
Pop because the world would have been his easily in 2020 onward. It’s the equivalent of 50 getting killed after 50 Cent is the Future.

This was my intro to nip. I’ll give credit to game cause I was still checking for him at the time so I heard this and instantly became a nip fan. F***ed with his bullet ain’t go no name series

Imagine if pop had a similar path or peak as 50 dropping his debut & sophomore album. I mean 50’s stretch from 03-05 was godly & probably nobody will ever come close but man….fuck that kid who got him
Ka
Honestly haven't even been listening to hip-hop nearly as much since he's passed. No one was on his level
nipsey the only one that made me cry throughout the week ngl
yams too if that counts but i was doing way too much d**** back then to get emotional about it
OG Maco honestly
Pain
OG Maco was tortured while on this earth that was so sad
