Morreu Nipsey Hussle

Nipsey Hussle, rapper de Los Angeles, Califórnia, foi morto a tiro, aos 33 anos. O tiroteio fatal aconteceu esta madrugada em frente à sua loja de roupa, Marathon Clothing. Nascido em 1985, Ermias Asghedom, o verdadeiro nome do MC, criou um percurso sólido em que não procurou subir a todo o custo, construindo uma reputação através das suas mixtapes. Crenshaw, projecto que vendeu a 100 dólares cada cópia, foi o ponto alto dessa etapa que levou o selo de aprovação de Jay-Z, que comprou 100 discos. Depois de solidificar o seu estatuto no circuito indie, a aclamação mundial chegou com Victory Lap, o álbum de estreia que lançou em 2018. O longa-duração esteve no quarto lugar da Billboard 200 e foi nomeado para Melhor Álbum Rap nos GRAMMYs. YG, Diddy, Kendrick Lamar, Buddy, The-Dream ou CeeLo Green foram alguns dos nomes que contribuíram para o trabalho. Membro activo da comunidade, Hussle era um filantropo que meteu as mãos na massa para ajudar os seus conterrâneos — principalmente os jovens negros –, fundando estruturas que facilitassem o acesso à educação através da ciência, tecnologia, engenharia e matemática. Artistas como Drake, J. Cole, Rihanna, Pusha T, Pharrell Williams, Dr. Dre, De La Soul, NAS, Thundercat, Lupe Fiasco, Vince Staples, El-P, Killer Mike e Freddie Gibbs reagiram à morte do rapper nas redes sociais.

Fuck. My whole energy is just at a low right now hearing this. We just linked for the first time in years and said we were gonna do a new song this summer cause it had been too long. You were having the best run and I was so happy watching from distance fam nobody ever talks down on your name you were a real one to your people and to the rest of us. I’m only doing this here cause I want the world to know I saw you as a man of respect and a don. Rest easy my g.

We are at a great loss today. This hurts. Straight to the point. It’s dangerous to be an MC. Dangerous to be a b-ball player. It’s dangerous to have money. Dangerous To Be A Black Man. So much hatred. We live like our brothers and sisters in third world countries live. Right in America. Decisions we make about our own life be based on decisions cuz we might not live. Its so deep rooted. It’s not a easy fix. Hard to fix anything when kids are still living in poverty. I ain’t shutting up though, Nipsey is a True voice. He will never be silenced. He still is A stand up General for the People who never left his people. He is Loved by the people. Prayers for his family. Let’s keep pushing Truth for The Man. Love You King Nipsey Hussle/ Ermias Asghedom Respectfully, Nasir Jones
