[Spoken: Nipsey Hussle]
Ay, what's up wit' it', y'all
This your boy Nip Hussle once again
Just hollerin' at y'all real quick
It's somethin' a nigga need to address out here in these streets, cuz
Niggas call theyself real niggas and gangbangers and all that
Stop every time you niggas take a loss runnin' for your pistols, my nigga
Feel me? Fuckin' the game up, setting the wrong example
Niggas think that's the way it's supposed to go
Feel me, nigga? Hop out there, do what he do, win, lose or draw, nigga
6-0, all that other shit is for the birds, my nigga
That's some coward shit

Ermias Joseph Asghedom (August 15, 1985 – March 31, 2019), better known as Nipsey Hussle, was a Grammy-award winning hip-hop artist and mogul from the Crenshaw district of South Central Los Angeles, California.

With a name inspired by actor Nipsey Russell, Nipsey Hussle released his first project, Slauson Boy Volume 1, in 2005, and he was featured in XXL’s 2010 Freshman Class alongside J. Cole, Big Sean, Freddie Gibbs, Wiz Khalifa, and Jay Rock among others. Nipsey gained national headlines in 2013 as he sold copies of his Crenshaw mixtape for $100 each. One customer was JAY-Z, who purchased 100 copies in support of Nipsey’s hustle. He then charged $1,000 per copy of his Mailbox Money mixtape in 2014 to continue his #Proud2Pay campaign.

After a decade of releasing several mixtapes and singles, Nipsey released his long-awaited debut album Victory Lap in 2018. The album was nominated in the Best Rap Album category at the 2019 Grammy Awards.
